How Does Cryofacial Work?
Cryofacial is an in-office procedure that should be conducted by a certified and experienced aesthetician.

The entire treatment takes just eight minutes, and most women and men find it to be a quick and revitalizing experience.
Who Is a Good Candidate for This Treatment?
A wide-range of patients can benefit from a cryofacial session. It is especially well-suited to individuals who want to enhance skin tone and texture, while also targeting certain skin concerns.

Accordingly, it is essential to seek cryofacial from a qualified provider who can properly analyze your skin and determine if treatment is right for you.
What Concerns Can Cryofacial Address?
A series of cryofacial treatments is able to improve skin quality, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and decrease inflammation and associated skin conditions like acne and eczema.

Paraffin Therapy
While warm wax is commonly used to remove unwanted hair from the face and body, you may be surprised to learn that it can also revitalize skin and relax you.
In fact, a paraffin facial is a calming in-office treatment that moisturizes skin, refines pores, eliminates blackheads, brightens complexion, and diminishes wrinkles. And unlike some other cosmetic procedures, it is extremely soothing and tranquil.
To learn all about paraffin facial and if it’s right for you, read on.
What Is a Paraffin Facial?
A paraffin facial is a rejuvenating, hydrating, and calming treatment that relies on the high-heat capacity of paraffin wax. The procedure is performed by a certified aesthetician and favored for its cosmetic and well as therapeutic effects.
How Is a Paraffin Facial Performed?
Prior to a paraffin facial procedure, skin is cleansed and covered with gauze. The aesthetician may then apply a moisturizing collagen elastin serum or cream oil to the gauze. Finally, warmed paraffin wax is brushed onto the gauze.
Once the wax dries, the gauze is removed, and any remaining paraffin is washed away.
What Is the Purpose of the Gauze?
Patients often wonder why gauze is placed on the skin ahead of moisturizer and the paraffin wax.
The gauze serves two purposes during a paraffin facial. To start, it prevents the heated wax from burning or harming tissue. At the same time, it allows paraffin heat and healing properties to rejuvenate skin.
What Are the Advantages of a Paraffin Facial?
Many women and men seek paraffin facial because of its impressive results and relaxing nature.
In fact, this aesthetic treatment is able to unclog pores, hydrate skin, improve circulation, decrease wrinkles, calm inflammation, and produce a more glowing and brilliant complexion.
These benefits are largely due in part to paraffin wax’s high heat capacity, which:
- Opens pores and loosens dirt and debris
- Expands blood vessels to brighten skin
- Soothes facial muscles to relax wrinkles
- Allows deep penetration of moisturizing serums and products
