The Face - Aesthetics Clinic | Botox Cardiff | MEDICAL AESTHETICS CARDIFF | SkinPen Precision Cardiff

We use a small hand held device that disperses high pressured streams of freezing vapor to the treatment area. The subzero temperatures work rapidly to flush the tissues of fluid and waste, causing a massive return of regenerative blood supply as the area rewarms after application.

The temperature can vary depending on the area being treated and the goal of the treatment. Localised cold air treatments are taken down to temperatures of -89° Celsius without any issues. We constantly supervise the skin temperature to ensure optimal comfort during the whole treatment process.

As the freezing vapor is applied you will likely experience a very cold sensation. The treated area can appear red immediately post treatment

Cryotherapy treatments are non-invasive and relatively low risk. The treated area(s) may develop some pigment change, either darker (hyper-pigmentation) or lighter (hypo-pigmentation). This colour loss may take longer to return in darker pigmented skin. This will generally improve over a period of a few months but sometimes may persist indefinitely. Some clients with darker pigmented skin may require an alternative procedure.

Freezing can cause some irritation to some of the small nerves in the skin and lead to an area of numbness, tingling or hypersensitivity. These symptoms will generally improve over a period of weeks.

Frostnip generally does not lead to permanent damage because only the top layers of skin are involved. However, frostnip can lead to long-term sensitivity to heat and cold.

The safety of cryotherapy has long been established and the risk of complications is lower than many other treatments and methods. KaasenLife™ by TruCryo is CE certified.

Benefits are generally seen even after one treatment, though subsequent procedures help extend the results.

Localised cryotherapy is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Those with auto-immune disorders or cold sensitivity are not suitable for treatment.

It is also not suitable for those that suffer from keloid scarring, impaired sensation, impaired circulation, superficial nerves, open wounds, skin cancer, hypersensitivity to cold and cardiac disease.

Procedure times for localised cryotherapy can range from 5 mins to 45 mins depending on area/s being treated. Localised cryotherapy isn't painful at all, and many clients tell us how enjoyable the experience is.

Most of our treatments include injections to the skin. Whenever the skin is punctured there's a risk of bruising and swelling. Our practitioners are highly skilled and do their clinical best to ensure veins are avoided, though it's impossible to avoid all underlying structures of the skin.

It's our advice to time your treatments, to avoid any special occasions within a 14-day period of a procedure. This should ensure that any residual bruising or swelling, if experienced, has subsided following your injection treatments.
