First, you’ll lie down on a table and relax. Your provider won’t need to apply a topical anesthetic or numbing agent because the treatment’s cooling technology will help keep you comfortable.
Each treatment is customized to your individual needs and the specific treatment area. It typically takes about 45 minutes, depending on the specifics of your treatment.
If you’re having a full-face treatment, your provider will glide the Glacial Rx handpiece across your skin, and the cooling will reduce redness, puffiness, and other signs of inflammation.
If you’re having a more targeted treatment of dark spots, your provider will gently apply the sub-freezing cold plate to each spot for 15 to 20 seconds.
During the treatment, your skin will be more receptive to topical skin care. Your provider will apply serums with brightening agents and antioxidants, to help protect your skin and accelerate cell turnover. They may also recommend topical products for you to use at home, to maximize and prolong your results.
In clinical trials, patients were able to return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
