Why Cryotherapy Is Your Skin’s New Power Workout
Glow from -130°C at LondonCryo
Move over sheet masks and serums — this summer’s ultimate skin glow-up doesn’t come from a bottle. It comes from sub-zero temperatures.
Welcome to the cryotherapy revolution, where beauty meets biohacking. At LondonCryo, we’re seeing a surge of clients turning to whole-body cryotherapy not just for recovery or energy, but for serious skin benefits. Think firmer texture, a brighter tone, and a radiant, youthful glow — all activated by the power of cold.
❄️ What Is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a treatment that exposes your body to ultra-low temperatures, as low as -130°C, for a short burst of 2–3 minutes. This controlled cold exposure stimulates your body’s natural healing and repair mechanisms.
Originally designed for elite athletes and chronic pain sufferers, cryotherapy is now making waves in the skincare and beauty world, and for good reason.
💪 Why Cryo Is a Workout For Your Skin
Just like a high-intensity workout strengthens your muscles, cryotherapy trains your skin to be firmer, tighter, and more resilient.
Here’s how it works:
Boosts Collagen Production
Extreme cold encourages your body to produce more collagen, the protein responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. More collagen = fewer wrinkles and a smoother complexion.Improves Circulation
Cryotherapy tones the smooth muscles that line your blood vessels, increasing circulation and delivering fresh oxygen and nutrients to your skin. The result? A natural, healthy glow.Reduces Inflammation & Puffiness
Say goodbye to puffiness and dullness. Cold exposure dramatically reduces inflammation, helping with conditions like acne, rosacea, and uneven texture.Detoxifies & Tightens
The rapid constriction and dilation of blood vessels post-cryo acts like a detox flush, helping your skin feel tighter, cleaner, and visibly lifted.
“Think of it as a HIIT workout for your face and body — all without breaking a sweat.”
📈 Skin Results That Get Better With Every Session
Unlike a one-time facial or sheet mask, the benefits of cryotherapy build over time. The more regularly you incorporate cryo into your wellness routine, the more cumulative the results — especially when paired with lymphatic drainage or a vitamin boost from our expert team at LondonCryo.
Whether you're prepping for summer, boosting post-holiday skin, or managing inflammation, this is your science-backed, results-driven glow-up.
