APPLICATION OF SYSTEMIC CRYOTHERAPY IN COSMETOLOGY

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the use of whole-body cryotherapy in cosmetology. Materials and Methods: Literature review was conducted based on the available PubMed bibliographic database from 2012 to 2022. Articles in Polish, English and Russian were included. Keywords such as whole-body cryotherapy, cryogenic chamber, and cryotherapy in cosmetology were used during the publication search. Conclusions: Whole-body cryotherapy is safe for the skin and has minimal effect on changes in pH, moisture and oiliness. Cryotherapy in a cryo-chamber can be used as complimentary therapy for the treatment of skin dermatoses and can also be a non-invasive method of treating various types of hair loss. It can also be an alternative method of reducing body fat.
