Facials in Fort Collins

Frozen C treatment is an advanced cryogenic technique to focus on a long list of negative skin traits, especially for acne and rosacea. This treatment can safely improve patients’ facial complexion after just a few treatment sessions.

Frozen C Facial: Using the Frozen C, the skin of the face is treated for 5-10 minutes. This leads to collagen stimulation, tightening of pores, improving pigmentation, and overall facial rejuvenation. Improvement in rosacea has been noted. The procedure can be performed on all skin types, even in tan skin during the summer months.

For Acne Control: The Frozen C Facial in Fort Collins has been shown to sterilize skin so the bacteria contributing to acne can be killed. The cryotherapy also decreases the redness associated with acne and will decrease the associated swelling. A series of treatments are needed to control acne. There is no downtime or pain associated with Frozen C.

How does it work? Frozen C delivers highly targeted cryotherapy both safely and optimally. This treatment uses CO2 (safer than liquid nitrogen) at -78°C to cool the treated area to a safe 2°C using microscopic particles of dry ice. With built-in temperature feedback, the operator is appraised in real time of the skin temperature and will alert and automatically shut off if the skin gets too cold. There are two laser distance gauges that align when the Frozen C handpiece is the proper distance from the skin to further ensure a safe treatment.

The cryotherapy elicits two responses from the body: Bohr Effect and Hunting Reaction. The Bohr effect is the result of a buildup of CO2 in the tissues. When this occurs, there is a change in oxygen’s binding to hemoglobin which results in increasing oxygenation to the tissues. The Hunting Reaction is the alternating of vasoconstriction and vasodilation in response to cold therapy. Ultimately, our Frozen C Facials in Fort Collins lead to greater circulation to the area being treated.
