Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen is popular in modern cosmetology and medicine by the method of treatment, based on the responses of the body tissues to ultra-rapid cooling of their outer layers. Liquid nitrogen is a non-toxic liquid substance without color and odor, having a temperature of less than -196 ° C. Its effect is caused by the stressful state of the body, in which a lot of positive reactions occur:
- activation of the immune, endocrine, neurohumoral systems of the body,
- improvement of blood circulation;
- strengthening of the walls of blood vessels;
- regulation of metabolism;
- activation of the processes of regeneration and renewal of tissues, etc.
Types of cryotherapy
Cryotherapy can be either general or localized. General cryotherapy is carried out in a special cryocamera, has a health and rejuvenating effect on the body as a whole. Localized cryotherapy - exposure through exposure to liquid nitrogen under low pressure or the use of cryomassage - a combination of cold exposure and massage techniques. Local cryotherapy is performed using applicators or devices with special nozzles.

Cryotherapy of face with liquid nitrogen
The effect of liquid nitrogen on the face skin - cryomassage and cryoapplication - has a beneficial effect on the skin as a whole.

As a result, the color and texture of the skin improves, fine wrinkles are smoothed, the pores become narrower, the activity of the sebaceous glands is normalized, redness and inflammation are removed, the skin becomes more elastic and elastic.
Face cryotherapy is used as a preparatory stage for other medical procedures (masks, injections, physiotherapy procedures, etc.) due to the fact that capillary microcirculation and metabolic processes in the subcutaneous layers are activated. Also, the action of liquid nitrogen is used as a fixing effect and eliminating side effects of the procedure after plastic surgery, cleaning, peeling, dermabrasion of the face, etc.
Removing warts with cryotherapy
With the help of liquid nitrogen, all types of warts, as well as other benign neoplasms (keratomas, papillomas, etc.) are painlessly and safely removed. Effects are made with the help of various applicators. As a result, the pathological tissue is destroyed and rejected, with further regeneration of the treated area. In this case, after healing, the skin is completely regenerated, scarring and scarring remain.
The procedure lasts for several seconds, and after a few hours a blister appears on the treated area, which gradually dries up to form a crust. About a week later the crust is rejected, leaving a weakly noticeable pink spot, which subsequently disappears.
