A Guide To Professional Skin Care Terminology

When helping clients determine the best professional treatment plan for their unique needs, you may find that they can’t describe what they’re looking for or, conversely, understand what you’re recommending. To help bridge this gap in understanding, we’ve put together this primer that lays out some commonly questioned professional skin care terms. 

Common Definitions

When it comes to defining the various nuances of professional skin care, there are several main categories that questions tend to fall under:

The People: “What is the difference between an esthetician, aesthetician and a dermatologist? And which one do I need to see?”

The Process: “What is a facial and how is it different than a treatment?”

The Techniques: “What is lymphatic drainage? How is it different from acupressure?”

The Treatments: “What is a cold laser? Or a HydraFacial?”

To help define some of the most often-asked key terms, we went to Eminence Organics Product Support Representative and Certified Esthetician, Josie Barton. Josie helped provide these quick definitions that lay everything out in simple terms.

The People

When it comes to professional treatments, there are generally three main professionals that clients are familiar with:

Esthetician

An esthetician is someone certified to perform manicures, pedicures, waxing, tinting, facials and body treatments (scrubs, wraps), with in-depth knowledge of skin and nails as well as their common issues. Estheticians can work at salons, spas, medi-spas and can also work as makeup artists or as a medical esthetician at a plastic surgery or dermatology office.  

Aesthetician

Sometimes there is confusion between the terms “esthetician” and “aesthetician.” While both are skin care specialists, often aesthetician refers to a medical esthetician only, as in a skin care specialist focused in clinical work.

Facialist

Simply put, a facialist is a person who performs facials. Depending on where someone lives, a facialist can be the same thing as an esthetician. For example, in Canada, a facialist is a certified esthetician.

Dermatologist

Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with skin, nails, hair and their various diseases. It is a specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. A dermatologist is a specialist doctor that manages diseases as well as cosmetic problems with skin, hair and nails. Typically, a dermatologist diagnoses skin conditions, prescribes medications or performs surgeries and cosmetic procedures whereas an esthetician analyzes the skin and provides facials, body treatments and custom skin care.

The Processes

While there are multiple steps to a professional treatment, the following processes can often be a bit confusing to a first-time client:

Facial

A facial is an esthetic service designed to fully cleanse the face, neck and décolleté using products customized to address the specific needs of the skin. The goal of a facial is to enhance and maintain the overall health of the skin.

Treatment

A treatment can refer to the actual service itself (e.g. facial treatment) or the inclusion of a specific treatment such as microdermabrasion or a body wrap.

Assessment

An assessment or consultation is the first step of a facial. This process lets the esthetician review the client’s skin, discuss their current skin care routine, address concerns and any issues they are looking to target. The esthetician can then customize the facial to the client and make accurate recommendations for home care. 

The Techniques

Many clients may have heard of certain techniques but aren’t sure how to book them, where to book them or who can perform them. Here are some of the most commonly questioned techniques used to improve skin and muscle concerns:

Massage

Massage is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension. Depending on the legislation in a particular area, massage may either be performed by estheticians and therapists or by licensed or registered massage therapists.

Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body. The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues, and encouraging this movement helps “depuff” the skin.

Acupressure

An alternative medicine technique involving pressing specific points on the body to relieve symptoms such as pain or nausea. This technique is performed in a spa setting or wellness clinic by a licensed practitioner known as an “acupressure practitioner” or by a massage therapist who has gained their acupressure license.

Acupuncture

An alternative medicine technique that stimulates the release of endorphins – the body’s natural pain-relieving neurohormones – through the insertion of needles into specific points (acupuncture points) to encourage natural healing. Acupuncture is not performed by estheticians or massage therapists but often through licensed acupuncturists, naturopaths or medical doctors.

The Treatments

While the number of non-invasive treatments available on the market feels almost infinite, there are some common buzzed-about options that can sound overwhelming to first time clients. Here are our quick explanations:

Stimulating Treatments

A stimulating treatment is any service that stimulates the skin either through heat, cold, massage or active ingredients, resulting in skin regeneration and renewal. Stimulating treatments are great for all skin types to increase blood flow to the skin.

Microcurrent

A microcurrent treatment uses two metal rods that conduct electricity over the surface of the skin. The electrical current runs through the skin and facial muscles to improve skin tone. This treatment is a fantastic choice for anyone and can improve the look of everything from breakouts to wrinkles.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a form of physical exfoliation using a specialized device to blast away the surface layers of the skin. Common devices used for this treatment include a diamond-tipped handpiece, a crystal-emitting handpiece and hydradermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is typically not recommended for those with acne, rosacea or other skin irritations or inflammatory conditions.

HydraFacial

A HydraFacial MD device is needed for this treatment to be called a “HydraFacial,” and it is the only hydradermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection simultaneously. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion, a HydraFacial is recommended for those with acne and/or inflammation as the products used with the machine can be customized.

Venus Freeze

A Venus Freeze treatment is also known as a “non-surgical face-lift” because it smooths wrinkles and tightens skin. There is no actual freezing involved as nothing about the treatment is cold. Instead, a registered Venus Freeze device combines multi-polar radio frequency and pulsed magnetic fields to firm the skin. This treatment is a good option for those looking to tackle the visible signs of aging.

Cryotherapy Or “Frotox”

The Cryo Facial is a cryogenic treatment that is performed by what is considered a “cryo probe,” which beams vaporized liquid nitrogen across the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. This is truly a cold treatment, stimulating collagen production through the increase in microcir­culation. This treatment is recommended for those looking to detox, firm and rejuvenate the skin but is not always recommended for those with a darker skin tone as it can potentially lead to discoloration.

Cold Laser

A cold laser treatment uses technology combining healing light, micro-stimulation, oxygen and lymphatic drainage. Unlike other lasers, there is no heat as the light beams are “low-intensity,” meaning they will not heat the body tissue. This completely painless treatment can be customized to address many different issues from acne to wrinkles.

Cryotherapy Facial – What Is It, Benefits, And How It Works?

Cryotherapy Facial – What Is It, Benefits, And How It Works?

Ramona Sinha January 21, 2019

I’m sure you have heard of botox. But, have you ever heard of something called ‘frotox’? It’s the nickname that the beauty industry has coined for cryotherapy facial. Cryotherapy facial is a treatment in which your skin is exposed to subzero temperatures. It is the hottest (pun intended!) skin care treatment right now that celebs are obsessed with. Scroll down to learn more about it.

Table Of Contents

What Is Cryotherapy Facial?

Cryotherapy means ‘cold therapy.’ It is a treatment in which your body or a body part (such as your face) is exposed to subzero temperatures for a few minutes.

This technique was first developed in Japan in 1978. The Japanese rheumatologist, Dr. Toshima Yamaguchi, is credited with developing this technique. He primarily used this technique to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Soon, the benefits of cryotherapy moved beyond arthritis. It proved beneficial for treating inflammation, psoriasis, and tissue pain and revitalizing the skin.

Cryotherapy can be done on just one particular area of your body or your entire body. When it is done on the face, it is called ‘cryotherapy facial,’ and when it is done on your body, it is called ‘whole-body cryotherapy.’ The way it is administered depends on the specific area of the body you are addressing.

In whole-body cryotherapy, your body is enclosed in a small chamber. You need to stand inside a chamber that surrounds only your body, leaving an opening for your head. Once your body is inside the chamber, its temperature is dropped to anywhere between -200° and -300° Fahrenheit. The aesthetician blows a cold stream of air that is made of vaporized liquid nitrogen. Your body is exposed to that temperature for just a few minutes

When exposed to freezing temperature, your body thinks that it’s freezing. This triggers the natural healing mechanism of your body. It accumulates blood in the core of your body to keep it warm. This expands your capillaries, and the white blood cells start working at a faster pace to protect you. During those minutes, your brain also releases hormones, such as adrenaline and endorphins, to stimulate your organs. This reaction facilitates cell rejuvenation, boosts your immune function, and promotes self-healing.

Cryotherapy facial does not involve such a chamber. Here is what you can expect during a session.

How Cryotherapy Facial Works: What To Expect During A Session

Different doctors might follow slightly different processes for cryotherapy, but overall, the approach remains the same.

Before the treatment, your face is thoroughly cleansed and massaged. This helps in lymphatic drainage and elimination of toxins and tension from your facial muscles.

Your face might be exposed to steam. If you have any breakouts, they will be extracted with a quick session of microdermabrasion.

In some places, your face may be exposed to different light frequencies to aid repair, kill bacteria, and boost collagen production. This helps in improving your skin’s health.

Now, the cryotherapy session begins.

Your eyes are covered with protective goggles.

A cold blast of liquid nitrogen is pumped all over your face using a tube attached to the cryotherapy machine. The nozzle of the tube has lasers that measure the temperature of your skin continuously.

The tube is continuously moved all over your face. This is to ensure that no particular area of your face gets too cold.

A cryotherapy facial session lasts for 2-3 minutes. Once the process is over, your safety goggles are removed. In many places, a cryotherapy session is followed by other spa facial treatments. You may receive red LED light therapy (to increase skin radiance), a facial massage, and a hydrating mask to boost your skin’s health. Immediately after the procedure, your skin will feel tighter and smoother.

Whether you are opting for just a facial or a full-body session, cryotherapy offers multiple benefits. Let’s explore them in the next section.

Benefits Of Cryotherapy Facial For Skin

1. It Helps Improve Atopic Dermatitis Symptoms

A 2008 study involving 18 adults with mild to moderate levels of atopic dermatitis examined the efficacy of cryotherapy in reducing AD symptoms. Most of the participants experienced improvement in their condition. However, three of them complained of mild acral (areas of limbs, ear, and nose) frostbite. Overall, the subjects regarded the process as pleasant and were willing to follow the course of treatment (1).

2. It Helps Reduce Acne

A study done on mice found that exposing the sebaceous glands to a temperature of -8° Celsius reduced the number of sebocytes (sebum-producing cells), thus preventing excessive sebum production (2).

3. It Improves Blood Circulation

When you undergo cryotherapy facial, the intense cold air makes your blood vessels contract and then expand. This leads to increased blood flow to your skin and makes it look healthy and radiant.

4. It Tightens Your Skin Pores

The cold temperature of cryotherapy tightens your skin’s pores. This prevents the accumulation of dirt and bacteria in your pores.

Other Benefits Of Cryotherapy

1. It Eases Pain

Cryotherapy is mainly used by athletes to treat muscle spasms and injuries. When your body is exposed to cold, it numbs the irritated nerve and helps in easing acute injuries and swelling. The cold also helps minimize inflammation, thus treating bruises, strains, and sprains (3).

2. It Eases Migraine Symptoms

A study found that cold therapy could ease migraine symptoms effectively. The study involved 101 patients (of which only 55 participants were included in the data analysis) with a migraine headache targeting their carotid arteries at the neck. The recordings were measured at various time intervals, such as during the onset of pain, after 15 minutes, after 30 minutes, and after 1 hour. And 77% of the participants said that the cold therapy helped in easing the pain (4).

Although the study claims that cryotherapy helps with migraine, the FDA does not have any evidence to support this claim (5).

Cryotherapy facial has many benefits, but it also comes with its fair share of risks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration hasn’t yet cleared cryotherapy as a potential treatment option for many skin and health conditions. The risks and side effects of cryotherapy are discussed below.

Back To TOC

Side Effects And Risk Factors Of Cryotherapy

Shutterstock

Anna Ghambaryan, a scientific reviewer at FDA, says that asphyxiation is the most significant risk posed by whole-body cryotherapy. She states that the amount of nitrogen in an enclosed area may cause oxygen deficiency, which can lead to hypoxia and loss of consciousness (5). Other potential risks include:

Frostbite

Ice burns

Numbness and tingling sensation

Redness

Also, avoid cryotherapy if you have:

Respiratory issues

Cardiovascular issues

High blood pressure

History of seizures

Metal implants in your body

Bleeding disorders

Anemia

Or, are pregnant

Further research is needed to prove the efficacy of cryotherapy as a treatment option for skin and health issues. If you decide to go for cryotherapy facial or whole-body cryotherapy (keeping in mind that the FDA does not approve it), discuss it with your doctor before scheduling your appointment.

Expert’s Answers For Readers’ Questions

How often should you get a cryotherapy facial?

Getting a cryotherapy facial 2-3 times a week for 2-3 weeks is recommended to repair damaged skin, treat the symptoms of a skin condition, or to get a youthful glow.

Is cryotherapy good for acne?

Yes, it helps reduce acne by tightening skin pores and minimizing excess sebum production.

Does cryotherapy hurt?

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive procedure. Though it is very cold, it won’t hurt you as much as ice does.
