Cryotherapy: What is it?

Cryotherapy: What is it?

Cryotherapy. Yes it does sound a bit scary when you first hear it. It does sound a little out of this world. But if you do a bit more research you will find out that it's actually used in many treatments in the skincare industry.


Cryotherapy is a therapy that uses almost freezing temperatures to temporarily remove unwanted tissue in the body. Cryotherapy is used in many of our spa services for immediate skin-cooling benefits. The Joanna Vargas technique adds cryotherapy to reduce inflammation, increase oxygenation & boost metabolism in the skin.

If you are looking for a major glow-up with a quick turnaround you can come into our NY Salon and book one of our treatments that incorporate cryotherapy. Here are some that do. 

Twilight Body Treatment

This is a transformative body treatment that uses high-tech tools like Microneedling, Radio Frequency, Cryotherapy, and Joanna’s patented Revitalight Bed. Clients will see an immediate lift and skin tone evening in their chosen area of concern. If the Twilight Body Treatment is a bit too pricey for you right now then you can get it in the form of a face mask! We have the Twilight Face Mask. Our Twilight Face Mask is a deep conditioning mask that has witch hazel in it to control breakouts. It also has niacinamide which Improves the appearance of pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines and dullness. 

Clear + Brilliant Facial 

Clear + Brilliant is a minimally invasive fractional laser facial that revitalizes the appearance of the skin, improves skin texture & increases the skin’s permeability post-treatment to boost the benefits of your skincare.
