Medical professionals have been using temperature therapy for decades. Heat therapy is often used after injuries to relax muscles, and ice can help reduce pain and swelling. Frozen C facials in Kansas City are a form of cryotherapy—applying cold temperature to initiate a response. The Frozen C facial helps address many signs of aging by combatting wrinkles, regenerating and tightening skin, and removing blemishes.

Unless you receive combined treatments, men and women in Kansas City can complete a Frozen C facial in 15 to 20 minutes. This advanced cryotherapy technique focuses on improving skin texture and many other cosmetic concerns plaguing people of all ages.
A Frozen C treatment can address large pores, redness, puffiness, and inflammation in facial skin. After just one session, many patients experience improved texture with little to no downtime. Unlike typical facials, the Frozen C can help treat rosacea and other medical conditions. The treatment can reduce dark circles under the eyes and puffiness that comes with age.
By improving the top layer of skin, promoting the production of collagen, and improving blood circulation to the treated areas, Frozen C also helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Men and women alike enjoy an enhanced complexion and skin tone, with a refreshed and more youthful appearance. Cold temperatures can help kill bacteria that cause acne, resulting in significantly improved acne breakouts and reduced scarring. There is evidence to suggest that the cold can also reduce sebum production, reducing the potential for acne breakouts.
Instead of using nitrogen to cool the skin, Frozen C uses CO2—carbon dioxide—which keeps the skin safe using real-time monitoring and auto-stop on the device so your skin temperature stays in the healing range. By increasing the blood and oxygen supply to the tissue, your skin begins a natural healing process, rejuvenating tone and texture.
A Frozen C facial can be combined with other treatment options and is an excellent way to cool and numb the skin to reduce discomfort during the added procedures. In most cases, Frozen C is used on the face, but it can also be used on the neck and upper chest.
The ideal candidate for a Frozen C facial in Kansas City is someone who struggles with any of the following:
People who have had laser treatments in the past six months and those who are looking for a solution that has the potential to last longer than 12 months should not have a Frozen C facial.
Preparation for a Frozen C facial is just like any other facial. Be well hydrated the days before to support your skin tissue, and avoid any heavy exfoliation treatments at home as it could increase the irritation to your skin.
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and dried before the treatment, and all jewelry will be removed. During the procedure, your aesthetician uses a device that cools your skin with medical therapeutic levels of extreme cold—78C (-172F). In addition to an automatic shut-off, the device has laser distance gauges to ensure the provider holds the handpiece the correct distance from the skin.
The process is a new FDA-approved non-surgical and non-invasive cryotherapy procedure that is remarkably gentle on your skin. There is no downtime; you can even apply makeup directly after treatment. Since the procedure increases highly oxygenated blood in the area, some use the treatment to help improve post-operative healing.
After a Frozen C facial treatment in Kansas City, most people experience tighter and more radiant skin. This anti-aging procedure soothes inflammation and immediately reduces redness.
