Heat, inflammation and irritation are behind many of the skin concerns we see every day: redness that won't settle, skin that looks dull and tired, dark spots that linger. Cold is one of the simplest ways to work against all three.
Glacial Rx is our line of cryotherapy treatments. It uses precise, controlled cooling to calm, brighten and even out the skin, with no downtime. There are three treatments, each built for a different goal.
Glacial Glide: calm in 15 minutes
Glacial Glide is a cooling, glide-on facial that uses the benefits of cold to calm and refresh your skin. A cooled applicator moves across the skin, and you feel the relief right away.
Best for: redness, irritation, sensitive skin and post-procedure cooling.
Time: 15 minutes.
Because it's quick and gentle, Glide is an easy add-on to other treatments, like a peel or microneedling, so you leave with skin that looks calm rather than flushed.
Glacial Gloss: the glass-skin facial
Glacial Gloss combines cooling technology with skin-boosting ingredients to hydrate, brighten and refine. Cooling helps reduce inflammation and enhance circulation, which leaves skin with a glass-like finish.
Best for: dull skin, uneven tone, dehydration and glow.
Time: 60 minutes.
It's a full hour of care with nothing to recover from, which makes it a favorite before events, photos and vacations, or as a monthly reset through dry Minnesota winters.
Glacial Freeze: targeted help for dark spots
Glacial Freeze is a non-invasive cryotherapy treatment that gently slows melanin production, the process behind dark spots. It's precise and fast: each 5mm area takes just 16 seconds.
Best for: hyperpigmentation, sunspots, melasma and uneven tone.
Downtime: none.
Results build over time, with spots fading gradually in the weeks after treatment. Daily SPF and the right home care help protect your progress.
