Aesthetic cryotherapy is a technique that cools a part of the body using specific creams or devices to combat localized fat, flaccidity and cellulite.
Aesthetic cryotherapy works by cooling the region that you want to tone up, muscle and skin use energy to try to compensate for the temperature change occurring eliminating localized fat. However this treatment should not be used exclusively for weight loss, it is necessary to make a low calorie diet and practice exercises regularly.
The benefits of cosmetic cryotherapy are related to increased local energy expenditure, because by cooling the skin and muscle, the body reacts trying to reheat the region, reducing metabolism, which gives a small localized fat burning.
Step by step aesthetic cryotherapy
To do this treatment on the face is advised:
- Wash your face with cold water;

- Slip equipment that promotes cold (which can be an ice cube wrapped in a gauze) across the face from the bottom up;
- Apply moisturizer to finish.
To do this treatment in the body the following steps must be taken:
- Exfoliate the skin so that the reducing cream penetrates more easily in the body;
- Pass a professional cream for aesthetic cryotherapy that contains camphor, menthol, caffeine or Asian centella, for example;
- Perform a reductive massage throughout the region or good lymphatic drainage;
- Strain the place to keep the cold, letting it act for approximately 20 minutes.
