Reducing inflammation in the body has been at the forefront of the healthcare industry for years, not only for maintaining optimal well-being but also plays a large part in preventative health. While inflammation is vital to the body's immune response and healing process, chronic inflammation is when the body's inflammatory response becomes uncontrolled and persists. This can lead to numerous issues, including heart disease, cancer, arthritis, psoriasis, and eczema, as well as neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, adopting a lifestyle that mitigates inflammation is a critical preventive measure. This involves a balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, stress management, and avoiding harmful habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. These strategies reduce chronic inflammation and boost overall health and immunity, making the body more resilient against various diseases and conditions.
In the realm of skincare, recent technological advancements have propelled us into a new era of devices that focus on minimal to no downtime. A leading innovator in this space is the GlacialRx, a system revolutionizing how we approach skin care and treatment. As its name implies, GlacialRx harnesses the power of precision cooling, offering a suite of transformative benefits ranging from removing benign pigmented lesions to reducing pain and general dermabrasion. This technology focuses on reducing “skinflammation,” which is inflammation within the body that can manifest as redness, dullness, dryness, skin laxity, and unevenness.
Benign skin lesions, like seborrheic keratoses and brown spots from sun damage, are common, but they can be a significant source of distress for many individuals. Traditional removal methods often involve surgery or laser treatments, which can be invasive, painful, or potentially risky. GlacialRx, however, offers an innovative alternative. The system uses crymodulation specific to each patient’s unique biology to treat the skin and eliminate these unwanted lesions. The result? An efficient, non-invasive procedure with minimal discomfort and optimal results.
Pain and inflammation are typical side effects of many treatments and conditions. Whether you're undergoing laser therapy, radio-frequency microneedling, or battling a chronic skin condition like psoriasis. The GlacialRx system shines here as well, using its advanced cooling technology to significantly reduce these symptoms. Using the device's continuous cooling in constant massage motion, the device safely alleviates inflammation, minimizes swelling, and aids in pain management—an innovation that can vastly improve patients' post-treatment experience.
For practitioners who rely on lasers or other heat-based treatments, the possibility of thermal injury is always a concern, especially for patients who do not always follow post-procedure instructions. A reminder to everyone; tanned skin is actually injured skin, and your body is going through a healing process. Treating already tanned skin is like performing a treatment on already damaged skin, which can lead to burns or other complications, causing scarring and potentially prolonged healing time. GlacialRx brings a fresh, cold breeze to this heated issue, offering a powerful ally against thermal injury. Cooling the skin before, during, or after heat-based treatments can reduce the risk of thermal injuries and ensure that treatments are safer and more comfortable for patients.
However, GlacialRx is more than just a tool for targeted treatments. It also proves a game-changer in general dermabrasion when used as a relaxing facial. Its unique dermabrasion tip efficiently removes the outermost layer of dead skin, revealing a smoother, healthier layer beneath. The process is less aggressive and more controlled than traditional dermabrasion methods, making it a preferable option for patients with sensitive skin. In addition, the integral cooling function ensures that even as the skin is being abraded, it's simultaneously soothed, reducing potential discomfort or inflammation.
Beata Advanced Aesthetics in Little Silver is one of the Top 3 GlacialRx providers in the nation. Karen Bott, a Licensed Aesthetician for over 25 years, says, “I’ve seen our industry evolve dramatically in the last 25 years. Innovative minds and technology have provided us with devices that achieve results we never could with our hands and products alone. GlacialRx is unique in its ability to clean and smooth the skin while simultaneously addressing more chronic issues and inflammation, which is at the root of many people’s symptoms.” She uses the device for all skin types and ages. She continues, “My patients experience an immediate reduction in many of their symptoms associated with their chronic inflammatory conditions, including acne and rosacea. The ‘Gloss’ treatment is a complete facial treatment with a prolonged systemic response for weeks post-treatment. Patients leave feeling renewed and refreshed, but are always amazed at how long their results last.”
GlacialRx is a paradigm-shifting tool, bringing the power of cryotherapy technology to a whole new level allowing a broad range of dermatological treatments. Bott also mentioned, “Glacial Rx is the perfect addition to our already impressive ensemble of advanced devices for face and body.” It's an excellent example of how technology is advancing the medical field, offering providers new ways to care for their clients and patients an opportunity to experience less pain and inflammation, all while getting smoother and healthier skin. GlacialRx is a frontrunner in the race toward the future of dermatological care.
