Glacial Rx

Precision cooling to fight inflammation and brighten skin.

The first of its kind, Glacial Rx™ uses a patented cooling technology to remove age spots without any heat from lasers or downtime.

Glacial Rx is the first and only treatment that uses Cryomodulation™ to effectively and comfortably improve the appearance of skin conditions such as age spots and address redness or inflammation.

 Cryomodulation™ is our proprietary cooling technology that normalizes melanin production and works to reduce inflammation.

Cooling technology that soothes as it reveals younger-looking skin.

Results are typical after a single treatment. You can expect to see the full benefit of Glacial Rx within one to two months – and in some cases, even sooner. The number of treatments and results will vary based on the goals and treatment plans discussed with your provider.

Glacial Rx: a pigment-freezing device

“Those whose skin can’t take the heat of conventional lasers may be thrilled to meet Glacial Rx from R2 Technologies when it rolls into doctors’ offices early next year. Inspired by old-school liquid nitrogen, the device—which we originally reported on in our FutureBeauty series—is the first to use cold to destroy the unwanted pigment present in sunspots and melasma. “The cool thing about this device is that you can titrate [or adjust] the settings to basically have no downtime,” says board-certified San Diego dermatologist Dr. Arisa Ortiz, an investigator on the tech. While the heat-generating devices doctors commonly use to zap spots and resurface skin can sometimes backfire on sensitive skin, triggering inflammation and a subsequent darkening, Dr. Ortiz says she has not seen this with Glacial Rx. What’s more, “because the temperature and exposure times are so precisely controlled, there is much less risk of [pigmentary changes] compared to standard liquid nitrogen,” she says. Following treatment, spots and splotches are said to gradually lighten, over the course of three to four days.”
