What is Glacial Skin?
Glacial Rx is a non-invasive, cryoaesthetic treatment that uses extreme cold temperatures to target melanin production, which is responsible for skin pigmentation. This procedure helps reduce unwanted pigmentation, age spots, and sun damage, leaving the skin looking brighter and more even-toned. The Glacial Rx device uses patented cooling technology to freeze the melanocytes (cells that produce melanin), resulting in refreshed, more youthful skin.
In addition to addressing pigmentation, Glacial Skin treatments help reduce redness and inflammation, making it an excellent choice for individuals with conditions like rosacea or melasma.
How Glacial Skin Works
The magic behind Glacial Skin lies in its ability to slow or suppress melanin production within the skin. By freezing the melanocytes, the treatment prevents further pigmentation issues from developing, allowing new skin to regenerate without unwanted dark spots. As the skin renews itself, you’ll see a clearer, more radiant complexion.
The cooling aspect of the Glacial Rx device also helps reduce redness by suppressing the inflammatory process, promoting faster skin exfoliation and turnover, which results in a more vibrant appearance.

What to Expect During Glacial Skin Treatment

After the treatment, a proprietary skincare product is applied to promote healing and optimize results. While many patients see noticeable improvements after just one treatment, those with more significant skin discoloration may require additional sessions.
Full results from Glacial Skin treatment typically become visible about one month after the procedure, revealing clearer, brighter skin with reduced pigmentation and redness.
