What Is a Cryo Facial?

A Cryo Facial (sometimes called a “cryotherapy facial” or “cryo lift”) is a non-invasive, cooling treatment that applies ultra-chilled air or vaporized nitrogen to the surface of your skin. Rather than freezing tissue like in dermatologic cryosurgery, the method uses controlled cold to gently cool the epidermis and dermis. This cold stimulus triggers a sequence of physiological responses, including vasoconstriction/vasodilation, enhanced circulation, fibroblast activation, and reduction in inflammation — all of which contribute to collagen and elastin stimulation, pore refinement, and improved skin tone.

Cryotherapy for Acne, Rosacea, Psoriasis, and Scarring

Cryotherapy isn’t just for slimming and body contouring—it can also be a powerful tool for improving skin health. At SKINS Sculpting, we use targeted cryo treatments to help manage common skin concerns like acne, rosacea, psoriasis and scarring.

Acne: The cold reduces inflammation, calms redness, and controls excess oil production. CO₂ has antimicrobial properties, helping to target acne-causing bacteria while promoting faster healing and reducing future breakouts.

Rosacea: Cryotherapy soothes inflamed blood vessels, decreases redness, and strengthens capillaries. Combined with CO₂, it helps calm sensitive, reactive skin while reducing microbial triggers that may worsen flare-ups.

Psoriasis: Cooling affected areas reduces plaque thickness, inflammation, and itching. CO₂ supports a healthier skin environment, limiting microbial activity and aiding the skin’s natural healing process. We are able to target psorasis on the scalp, neck, face during your cryo session to help alleviate symptoms and improve your appearance.

Cryotherapy for Scarring

Cryotherapy isn’t just for slimming and contouring—it can also help improve the appearance of scars. At SKINS Sculpting, we use targeted cryo treatments to reduce raised, red, or inflamed scars, including acne scars and hypertrophic scars.

The controlled cold works by reducing abnormal collagen overgrowth, flattening raised areas, and improving skin texture. It also decreases local inflammation and stimulates circulation, supporting healthier skin regeneration. For optimal results, cryotherapy can be combined with other treatments to smooth and rejuvenate your skin.

With consistent treatments, cryotherapy can help your skin look calmer, smoother, and more even, helping you feel confident in your skin again.
