If you are tired of seeing the deep lines on your forehead and around your face, it’s about time you tried a non-invasive and non-toxic way of treating them: Cold Induced Modulation, or Cryo Modulation.
Even with the ease of use of Botox, a well-known neurotoxin that is used for the treatment of wrinkles, there are still many companies who are looking for innovation in the cosmetic industry.
During the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery conference in 2011, people did not expect that they would be introduced to the newest and safer technology that would remove wrinkles with the use of the cold treatment.
Cold technology has long been used in cosmetic surgery to treat nerves, relieve pain, and even reduce fat in patients.
Zeltiq CoolSculpting is popular for freezing and reducing fat using cold treatment. For the first time, it is now being used to remove wrinkles and deep lines from the forehead.
Where did Cold Induced Modulation / Cryo Modulation Originate?
Founder of the Beverly Hills International Center for Aesthetic Surgery Dr. Francis Palmer III is also the co-creator of Cold Induced Modulation (cryo modulation).
Advantages of choosing cold-induced modulation over the traditional neurotoxin is two-fold.
Having relaxed facial nerves is the goal of the cryo technology, which is why the surgeon will use a 27-gauge needle to inject the cold directly into those facial nerves during the procedure.
To fully get the necessary treatment, the surgeon will have to access your temporal branch in the frontal nerve so that he can inject it with the cold.
When certain facial muscles contract, wrinkles are created, which is why the Cold Induced Modulation (cryo modulation) treatment has to freeze muscles so that there will be fewer wrinkles.
The entire treatment takes only about 15 minutes, and it is virtually painless because of anesthesia applied beforehand.
How Does Cold Induced Modulation Work?
The newest cosmetic technology for removing wrinkles makes use of cold instead of toxins, ensuring that the patients would not have to be injected with any toxins or chemicals.
The Cold Induced Modulation (cryo modulation) procedure involves injuring the nerves, but not permanently.
Also, if you are looking to remove those facial age indicators, this treatment will exhibit immediate results…in a matter of seconds.
Because of the nature of the procedure, those who undergo Cold Induced Modulation (cryo modulation) may experience temporal nerve injury.
Since it has been guaranteed that there are no long-lasting post-procedure side effects, the nerve injury that is said to occur during the process is reversible.
FDA approval is vital for products and procedures to fully enjoy the following of the masses, but given that the Cold Induced Modulation (cryo modulation) only has minimal side effects, it has already been able to create a buzz via word-of-mouth by itself.
Despite it being a new technology, the Cold Induced Modulation (cryo modulation) only has simple symptoms like bruising and swelling.
Most patients can rest assured that they would not have any facial wrinkles for three to four months, the time frame by which the procedure has been said to last.
Try out this new treatment where you no longer have to go under the knife or wait for anti-aging creams to work.
