Using a cold hammer on the face during a facial provides many benefits through the effects of cryotherapy (cold therapy) - which causes the constriction of blood vessels.
➡️ Reduced inflammation and redness: The cold temperature soothes irritated skin and minimises puffiness, making it helpful for conditions like acne or general sensitivity.
➡️ Minimised pore appearance: Cold exposure causes a temporary shrinking of capillary blood vessels and tightens the skin, which makes pores look smaller and smoother.
➡️ Improved skin firmness and elasticity: The tightening effect can temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
➡️ Enhanced product absorption: Applying the cold hammer after serums or moisturizers helps to “seal in” the products, allowing ingredients to pe*****te deeper into the skin.
➡️ Boosted circulation: As the skin re-warms after the cold application, blood circulation rebounds, which helps deliver essential nutrients to skin cells and promotes a healthy, radiant glow.
➡️ Relaxation and alertness: The cooling sensation can be invigorating, helping to “wake up the skin”, relieve tension headaches, and provide a sense of relaxation.
