Getting Cool for Beauty with Cryotherapy

Spa lovers look out! A new beautifying method called Cryotherapy is making a very cool (no pun intended) name for itself at spa and wellness centers in cities like Mountain View, New York and Paris. Cryotherapy is a hypercooling beauty treatment that helps to decrease inflammation of the skin, boost metabolism, relax tired muscles, improve skin elasticity, skin tone, and even help to bolster athletic performance.

So what exactly is Cryotherapy?
Well, to make a long story short—it literally entails freezing your body or face off! Airy streams of liquid nitrogen flow over the face and body. Cryotherapy was originally created in Japan in 1978 as a method for treating arthritis.
The modern day beauty who opts to go for a full body treatment, will stand in a tubular vessel that pumps out cool air at temperatures between -184 and -292 degrees Farenheit! You might be thinking, “Well goodness, wouldn’t I freeze to death?” The answer is: NO! For a not so cool price tag of around $90, you’ll only be in the cryotherapy chamber for 3 minutes. That’s not so bad, now is it?!
Another Cryotherapy option is the CryoFacial machine which helps to firm skin and aids in the growth of hair and eyelashes! The aesthetician, utilizing a Cryowand, sends out streams of pressurized liquid nitrogen over the face and neck area. The CryoFacial is chemical free and non-invasive. CryoFacial may be the perfect, chemical free alternative option to Botox as users have claimed to experience tightened pores and decreased wrinkles with treatment.




Quite a few studies have confirmed the wide range of benefits of cryotherapy. One particular study conducted by researchers in the Department of Dermatology at Konya Training and Research Hospital in Turkey, found that cryotherapy had profound anticancer benefits in a 65 year old woman living with cancerous skin legions. The woman experienced a 90% reduction of skin legions after treatment with cryotherapy.


We are at the beginning of a New Year; a glorious time for new beginnings, it might be helpful to introduce a new treatment to your beauty regimen. with all of the testimonials and comments from avid users, Cryotherapy seems as if it would improve even the most established wellness and beauty regimens.

Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his fo...
