Cryomassage is a type of massage involving the application of superficial cold to body tissue,[1] typically using ice or liquid nitrogen.[2] As a cryotherapy technique, cryomassage has been used to treat physical injury,[3] skin disorders[1] such as rosacea and facial erythrosis (redness),[2] and facial nerve neuropathy.[4]
Methodology
[edit]General cryomassage is performed with ice packs or cryocare packs. General cryomassage is said to initiate tissue regeneration and repair, improve muscular blood circulation, and reduce inflammation.[citation needed] As with other cryotherapy, cryomassage can induce an analgesic effect.[5][6]
In cosmetology, cryomassage is performed with liquid nitrogen.[2]
