Nothing screams unhealthy skin like having dark spots, redness, and dull, uneven skin. These unwelcome signs of skin damage and aging make us self-conscious and desperate for a solution. The problem lies in finding a product that actually delivers its promised results.
Most over-the-counter products claiming to address these issues are typically ineffective. While there are medical-grade lightening products that can be used at home, they require consistent use and take months to show any results. Additionally, many high-end in-office treatments that offer better results often have significant drawbacks, such as downtime and usage restrictions during certain seasons.
Glacial RX™ is the exception. Its cutting-edge technology offers a breakthrough solution that uses advanced and patented cold therapy to painlessly and effectively eliminate dark spots and tackle uneven skin, with the added benefits of minimal downtime and year-round versatility.
November is National Healthy Skin Month, the perfect time to look into this “cool” new Cryomodulation™ treatment (see what we did there)– and give your skin a little extra love.
Read on for your comprehensive guide on everything you need to know about Glacial RX™ and where to find an experienced practitioner who can perform the treatment in Nashville, TN.
What is Glacial RX™?
Developed by the same visionary minds behind CoolSculpting®, Glacial RX™may be a newcomer in the world of skincare, having made its debut in March 2021. However, it’s undoubtedly the next frontier in non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
Glacial RX™ is a groundbreaking CryoAesthetic treatment, a term that simply means a cold facial procedure. CryoAesthetic treatments are kinda like those nifty little ice rollers you use to de-puff your face, except they are a procedure performed in a spa or medical clinic and boast long-lasting benefits that go way beyond temporarily soothing fatigued skin.
Glacial RX™ uses the power of Cryomodulation™, an innovative process that uses extreme cold to suppress tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for pigment production in the skin. This unique approach effectively stops the formation of age spots and pigmentation issues, making it a one-of-a-kind solution for achieving clearer and more even skin.
The Glacial RX™ treatment is a superior CryoAesthetic treatment like none other. It brings illumination to your skin while reducing age spots, redness, and hyperpigmentation. But Glacial RX goes beyond just spot removal and improving uneven skin tone.
It offers your skin a refreshing sensation, reduces redness and inflammation, accelerates exfoliation, brightens skin tone, and even stimulates collagen production. And the best part? It is non-surgical with little to no recovery time, painless, and you can get your treatment any time of the year.
There really is nothing else like Glacial RX™ in the realm of CryoAesthetics. Its unmatched technology provides results that consistently get rave reviews. In fact, surveys show that 100% of patients recommend the treatment and would have it done again.
What Makes Glacial RX™ Different From Other Cryo Skin Treatments?
There are a few cold facial treatments that have been on the market for years, such as Cryofacials, Cryo-LED Therapy, Cryo-Peels, and Localized Cryotherapy Treatments, but they do not offer the same benefits or have the same proprietary technology and techniques as Glacial RX™.
Glacial RX™ stands out from other cryo skin treatments due to its patented cooling system, unique features, and capabilities. Here are some aspects that differentiate Glacial RX™ from other cryo treatments:
Targeted for Sunspots and Redness
Glacial RX™ is specifically designed to address age spots and reduce redness. While many cryo treatments offer general skin benefits, Glacial RX™ focuses on these common skin concerns.
It Is Safe and FDA-Cleared
Glacial RX™ boasts FDA clearance, indicating its safety and efficacy for treating specific skin issues. This certification provides a level of trust and confidence in the treatment.
Minimal Downtime
Unlike some cryo skin treatments that may require downtime or recovery periods, Glacial RX™ minimizes disruption to your daily life, making it a more convenient option.
Developed by Industry Leaders in Cosmetic Innovation
Glacial RX™ comes from the same masterminds behind CoolSculpting, a well-established and respected brand in the industry. This adds to its credibility and trustworthiness.
Who Should Get a Glacial RX™ Treatment?
Glacial RX™ is an ideal solution for men or women seeking to rejuvenate their skin, particularly those with age spots, uneven skin, and redness.
It is the ideal healthy skin solution for anyone looking to achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion without the inconvenience of extensive downtime; this treatment is designed with your needs in mind.
Key benefits of Glacial RX™ include:
- Removes hyperpigmentation and dark spots
- Reduces redness and inflammation
- Reduces skin dullness
- Evens skin tone
- Brightens skin
- Tightens skin
- Virtually painless
- No downtime required
- Long-lasting results after a single treatment
Although Glacial RX™ is most commonly used on the face, the device is deemed safe for application on various body areas to provide skin tightening and reduce inflammation in places like the neck, décolletage, and hands.
It’s possible to use Glacial RX™ on other body areas as well, depending on your needs and goals. You can discuss other places you would like to explore using Glacial RX™ during your complimentary consultation.
What Happens During a Glacial RX™ Treatment?
One thing you will notice when you get the Glacial RX™ treatment is that no numbing cream or local anesthetic is typically applied. This step is not needed because the procedure is designed to be comfortable and well-tolerated by most patients.
Instead, the session typically begins with the application of a specialized cold applicator on the targeted areas for about 15-20 minutes. What happens next will depend on which interchangeable modalities (headpiece) your practitioner uses for your treatment.
The Glacial RX™ treatment offers versatility with three interchangeable heads:
- Cooling and Dermabrasion Head
- Continuous Cooling Head
- Precision Freezing Head
Depending on your skincare goals, you can mix and match the heads during your appointment or focus on just one. Your practitioner will help determine the best approach during your consultation or on the day of your treatment.
Following the cold treatment (or treatments), high-quality serums infused with antioxidants and brightening agents are applied to the skin. These serums serve a dual purpose, protecting your skin and acting as a defense against environmental factors that may contribute to issues like hyperpigmentation.
You should leave looking dewy and radiant, although it may take some time to witness the full effects of your Glacial RX™ treatment. Typically, patients notice enhancements in their skin’s appearance about a month after the procedure, with complete results at the 2-3 month mark.
Is Glacial RX™ Painful?
Not at all! For the majority of people, Glacial RX™ is relaxing, not painful. Most patients say it feels like a refreshing, cool experience on the skin.
The only exception is if the precision freezing head is used during your treatment. Some patients say they have slight discomfort due to the extreme cold.
That said, most patients say the precision freezing head is very tolerable and don’t describe its use as painful, saying any mild discomfort is often balanced by the refreshing and soothing coolness that defines the treatment.
How Much Downtime is Needed After a Glacial RX™ Treatment?
There is no downtime following the treatment, one of the key aspects that sets it apart from other treatments that treat dark spots and hyperpigmentation. After your Glacial RX™ session, you can hop back into your daily routine without blocking out hours or days for recovery.
The Glacial RX™ is a treatment designed to complement your busy lifestyle rather than disrupt it. You don’t have to cancel your daily workout, dinner plans, or any other activities you had scheduled. You can pop in on your lunch break and even go back to work following your treatment if you would like.
When Will I See Results From a Glacial RX™ Treatment?
Glacial RX™ offers visible results in a relatively short time frame. The makers of Glacial Rx™ conducted an extensive global study, revealing that 91% to 93% of treated spots were rated as “aesthetically improved” after two months of treatment.
For many patients, the transformation begins even sooner. Generally, improvements in the appearance of age spots and benign lesions are visible within just one month after a Glacial RX™ session.
It’s important to mention that while Glacial RX™ can be an effective “one-and-done” treatment for some, achieving your desired results may necessitate more than one session. Dark or large spots might be a bit more stubborn and require multiple treatments to achieve the best outcome.
Does Glacial RX™ Have Any Side Effects or Risks?
Glacial RX™ is a safe and FDA-cleared skin treatment known for its safety and effectiveness, catering to individuals of all skin types. But like any cosmetic procedure, there is potential for some side effects.
You can have peace of mind knowing that the associated side effects of Glacial RX™ are typically very minor. Some people might experience slight, temporary redness or swelling. These effects are generally short-lived, typically resolving within a few hours to a couple of days at most.
Occasionally, individuals may also notice a temporary darkening of their lesions or dark spots, or superficial micro crusting, which is similar to what one might experience after more intensive facial treatments such as IPL or laser skin resurfacing. Don’t worry, if this should occur, it typically clears up on its own within a few days.

Focus on Skin Health During National Healthy Skin Month
November marks National Healthy Skin Month, an important reminder that the state of your skin is not only about looks but is closely tied to your well-being.
Age spots, redness, and uneven skin aren’t only an aesthetic concern; they can also tell of your skin’s overall health. Your skin is a complex organ that serves as a vital barrier, regulating temperature and acting as a mirror to your inner health.
Healthy skin plays a critical role in your overall physical and mental wellness. Well-nourished and well-cared-for skin can help protect you from external threats, maintain internal balance, and reveal a radiant reflection of your inner vitality.
National Healthy Skin Month, celebrated each November, aims to foster awareness and educate people about the crucial significance of maintaining healthy skin, not just for aesthetics– but for overall health.
In addition to giving your skin some extra TLC with a Glacial RX™ treatment, don’t forget to focus on the key aspects of skin health, which include:
Getting Annual Skin Checks
Schedule yearly skin checks with a dermatologist to monitor skin health and detect early signs of skin conditions. You should also regularly evaluate your skin at home, looking for any unusual moles, changes in skin texture, or signs of irritation.
Prioritizing Sun Protection Daily
Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
Ample Hydration, Inside and Out
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin well-hydrated from within, and use moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated, especially in dry climates.
Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle
Make sure you consume a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to support skin health, and exercise regularly to improve blood circulation, which contributes to healthier skin.
Also, if you smoke – stop! Smoking drastically accelerates skin aging; quitting or avoiding tobacco is crucial. It would help if you also aimed to limit alcohol. Excessive alcohol consumption can dehydrate the skin; moderation is key.
Getting Adequate Sleep
Getting enough restful sleep is essential for skin repair and rejuvenation (and keeping those pesky eye bags away.)
Practicing Stress Management
Manage stress through relaxation techniques, as stress can negatively impact your skin.
