Glacial Skin: The Coolest Way to Rejuvenate Your Skin

If you’re looking for a skin treatment that’s refreshing and effective, then it’s time to try Glacial Rx by Glacial Skin. This innovative cryotherapy treatment is one of the coolest (literally) skincare treatments to hit the market. Glacial uses precise cold temperatures to make your skin glow, reduce inflammation, control redness, lessen appearance of pore size, and target hyperpigmentation and melasma.

What Is Glacial RX?

The Glacial Rx device by Glacial Skin is a non-invasive skincare treatment designed to address various skin concerns through precision cooling technology.

How Does Glacial Skin Work?

Glacial Skin, which can be used anywhere on the body, including the face, legs, arms, and chest, utilizes advanced precision cooling technology, also known as Cryomodulation®, to effectively reduce redness, puffiness, and other unwanted effects of inflamed skin. Combating skin inflammation provides long-term benefits by slowing the progression of skin aging.

Uneven skin tone often begins when sun exposure, environmental stressors, or other factors trigger excess melanin production. While normal skin produces melanin at a steady rate, overproduction can lead to visible spots and pigmentation. Glacial treatments at NM Aesthetics are designed to help normalize melanin production and improve the overall appearance of your skin.

There are several Glacial Skin options available to target specific concerns:

Glacial Gloss is a 45-minute, multi-step treatment that uses contact cooling combined with active topicals and exfoliation to brighten and rejuvenate the skin.
For a quicker option, Glacial Glide offers a 10-minute continuous cooling treatment that soothes inflammation and pairs well with other aesthetic procedures such as microneedling, lasers, or even injectables.

What Are The Benefits Of Cryotherapy For Your Skin?

There are many benefits to glacial skin treatments, including:

Reduced redness, puffiness, and inflammation.
Boosts circulation.
Reduces overproduction of melanin, which reduces appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Calms acne-prone skin.
Soothes inflamed skin and rosacea prone skin.

What You Should Expect At Your First Glacial Cryotherapy Session

A session can last anywhere from 10-45 minutes. During the Glacial Skin treatment you’ll feel a cool, soothing sensation—like a breeze on your skin. After the treatment, your skin may look slightly flushed from the increased blood flow, but that quickly fades into a healthy, radiant glow.
