What is Cryocell?
Cryocell is a soothing device made by SJ Global, a Korean company. It is one of the 17 devices at Shinebom Clinic. Where most devices in the lineup add energy to the skin to change something, this one is used to calm the skin down.
What is cryo electroporation?
The term combines two ideas. Cryo refers to cooling, which generally reduces the feeling of heat and redness in skin. Electroporation refers to short electrical pulses that, generally, temporarily make the outer skin layer more permeable so that topical ingredients can be delivered more effectively. Together, they let a cooling step and an ingredient step happen in the same pass.
Where does the clinic use it?
- In sensitive skin care, alongside barrier support. See sensitive skin care.
- In firming and brightening care, combined with lasers. See firming and brightening.
It is often used on days when a laser has left the skin warm and red, although the doctor decides the order in the plan.
How does it relate to Iontoson 2?
The two devices are named together in the clinic's firming, brightening and sensitive skin plans. Cryocell contributes the cooling and soothing step, while Iontoson 2 is the clinic's multi-handpiece device used in the same programs. Your doctor chooses whether one or both belong in your session.
What should you tell the doctor?
Mention allergies to any skin products, recent peels or lasers, active infections such as cold sores, and implanted electronic devices such as pacemakers, because electrical stimulation is not suitable for everyone. Soothing does not replace sun protection, so continue with sunscreen and moisturizer as advised. For laser recovery, see redness laser aftercare. Prices are quoted after consultation.
