Physiotherapeutic equipment, cold treatment

The uniqueness of cold treatment is in the stressful action of low temperature on the body. Extreme cooling (sometimes up to -200 C) causes a sharp narrowing of the blood vessels, after which they slowly expand. A rapid drop in temperature causes the body to instantaneously activate all protective forces and systems - immune, endocrine, neuro-moral, sexual. "Universal mobilization" accelerates metabolic processes, enhances heat formation and blood flow to tissues. Cryoprocedures, or physiotherapeutic equipment, cold treatment are hardened and train the body, rejuvenate it, strengthening immunity and renewing cells, improve the skin condition, relieve stress and promote the release of additional portions of hormones of joy - endorphins. Each procedure of the "cryo" kind has its own peculiarities.

Cold sauna

The body is partially or completely immersed in a special box that looks like a vertical solarium. The temperature in such a sauna is -160-180 C. Legs and hands are protected with socks and mittens, and respiratory organs with a scarf or bandage. For 2-3 minutes the temperature of the skin drops to 0 C (while the body temperature remains normal).

It's impossible to catch a cry in the cryosauna, ice jets act directly on the skin, so you should not worry about the internal organs. After the first session, overall well-being improves, and there is no trace of chronic fatigue syndrome. Cold fills the body with energy and for a long time allows to withstand stress. Cold currents improve microcirculation in the skin, strengthen its turgor and rejuvenate. With the help of procedures you can get rid of the effect of goosebumps and acne. Enhanced heat transfer promotes weight loss and getting rid of cellulite. During the procedure (and this is not more than 3 minutes), you can lose up to 2000 kcal. And for 10-20 sessions - completely get rid of the "orange peel" and lose weight by 7 kg. Owners of slender bodies have nothing to fear, they do not face such a loss, because the main action of cryosauna is the normalization of weight.

General cryotherapy is absolutely not dangerous and has no side effects, but experts still do not recommend "going under the ice" with postinfarction or post-stroke, hypertensive disease and heart failure, epilepsy, tuberculosis, and also with individual cold intolerance.

Massage with ice

Hand massage of the face and neck is done with a cotton swab dipped in liquid nitrogen (the temperature reaches -200 C). Slightly touching the skin, the beautician does not slip it for more than 10 seconds along the main massage lines and points. Such a short-term contact with nitrogen is not dangerous. First, there is a burning sensation, and then the skin starts to blush, as if you just came from a frosty walk. The ice treatment effectively smoothes and tightens the skin of the face and neck, leads the muscles into tone and removes metabolic products, eliminates roughness and roughness - an ideal choice for mature skin! Immediately the complexion improves, the pores are narrowed and cleared.

An alternative to the manual method of physiotherapeutic equipment for cold treatment is an apparatus massage in which nitrogen is supplied from a nebulizer.

The temperature is chosen taking into account the state, color, thickness and degree of withering of the skin. If during the session you feel discomfort, the level of cold will be adjusted. The maximum effect is achieved after 5 sessions. It is recommended to conduct them with a break in a few days, and the next course should not take place until six months later. Cryomassage is very effective in caring for problem skin: sessions reduce the production of sebum and relieve inflammation due to bactericidal action. Contraindicated in such care for people with sensitive skin and closely located vessels, as well as those who suffer from cold allergy, conjunctivitis or inflammatory diseases of the ear, throat, nose.

The best peeling

If earlier cosmeticians used ice to consolidate the result and speedy onset of aesthetic effect, now cryopilling is one of the most successful methods of rejuvenation. Do the procedure with a cotton swab or under a stream of liquid nitrogen. The temperature of the composition applied to the skin is about -80-110 C, and the exposure time varies from 5 to 30 seconds. As a result of exfoliation of the upper layer of epidermal cells and cooling of sufficiently deep layers, stimulation of collagen and elastin fibers occurs. Fine wrinkles disappear, small scars are smoothed, collagen production and cell regeneration are enhanced. The correct ice peeling for effectiveness is compared with the use of glycolic acid. But at the same time you are not threatened, no burns, no redness, no strong swelling. Cryopiling also treats serious enough flaws - warts, scars, acne. Another advantage of this method is its painlessness. You will feel only a slight tingling. The intensive course consists of two procedures a week for a month. And the main contraindication is the proximity of the capillaries.

Deeper peeling - cryodermabrasion or mechanical exfoliation of the upper layers of the epidermis with the smallest pieces of dry ice - will help get rid of the spots left after acne, and practically from any scars. To minimize the risk of excessive pigmentation, cryodermabrasion, like all skin resurfacing procedures, is better postponed to fall.

Erase tracks

For cryoelectrophoresis, drugs are selected depending on the problem and freezes them. And then with the help of a pulsating current is introduced into the deep layers of the skin. Drugs penetrate the interior of the cell and, due to low temperatures, act very slowly. This enhances their effect. With the help of several sessions of cryoelectrophoresis, you can say goodbye to wrinkles on the face, eyelids, neck and décolletage for a long time. The procedure will help to solve and such problems that neither fitness nor diet - flabbiness of the hands and thighs, lack of elasticity of the breast. This is an excellent remedy for combating cellulite and fat deposits. However, sessions are contraindicated in the presence of gynecological diseases.

Cryodestruction (freezing, causing tissue death) and aerocryotherapy (chilled air stream) are aimed at eliminating aesthetic skin imperfections. If the first is simply irreplaceable for removing all kinds of defects - warts, papillomas, birthmarks and blackheads, the second is prescribed after surgeries, laser resurfacing, chemical peelings, when it is necessary to remove pain, swelling and inflammation of the skin in a short time.

Before the passage of cryoprocedures, it is worthwhile to tell the specialist the history of his illnesses and ask him about the characteristics of cryoappar and possible sensations. And remember that a qualitative result can be provided only by a cosmetologist with a medical education.
