Glacial Rx™ in Houston & San Antonio, TX

Are you struggling with the appearance of age spots? At DermaTouch RN, we offer the non-invasive Glacial Rx™ treatment for a convenient and comfortable solution to age spots. We are proud to offer this and other medical spa services to the men and women living in and around Houston, including those in San Antonio, Spring and Cypress, TX.

What is Glacial Rx™?

Glacial Rx™ is a skin rejuvenation treatment specifically designed for the treatment of age spots and other benign lesions. Unlike laser treatments, which use hot laser energy and potentially damage the skin, Glacial Rx™ uses Cryomodulation™ technology. It provides soothing, cold energy to the skin, which suppresses the production of melanin (the pigment that causes the appearance of age spots). Plus, Glacial Rx™ reduces redness and inflammation for immediate benefits and enhanced long-term results. It is the optimal treatment for addressing age spots on nearly any part of the body.

How Much Does Glacial Rx™ Near Me Cost?

The cost of Glacial Rx™ in Houston, TX starts at $350 and will vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of treatments needed to produce your desired results. After we work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan during the consultation, we can provide more details about the cost. We offer free consultations for all non-surgical body contouring procedures. All other consultations cost $50, which we apply towards the cost of your Glacial Rx™.

To provide excellence in care for men and women who want natural, minimally invasive treatments, we strive to keep our prices affordable. We also offer several financing options for which you may qualify, including Cherry, CareCredit®, and Alle. You can apply online before your consultation and receive a decision within minutes.

Am I a Candidate for Glacial Rx™?

Glacial Rx™ is a gentle skin rejuvenation treatment that is suitable for all skin types. If you are interested in reducing the appearance of age spots and related skin lesions, you may be a good candidate for the Glacial Rx™ treatment.

How is Glacial Rx™ Performed?

To begin the Glacial Rx™ treatment, a cooling plate is placed on the treatment area for about 20 seconds. This slightly numbs the skin and eliminates the need for any topical anesthetic or numbing solution. Then, the Glacial Rx™ cooling handpiece will be maneuvered around the skin, delivering cooling energy to the desired areas. Afterwards, protective serums will be applied to the skin to brighten the complexion and prevent environmental damage. The Glacial Rx™ treatment typically takes about 45 minutes to perform.

What is Recovery Like After Glacial Rx™?

Glacial Rx™ treatments will leave you looking and feeling younger without surgery or downtime. Patients may experience minor side effects that include temporary redness or darkening of the skin, which will quickly resolve on their own. You will be able to return to your normal daily activities without restrictions immediately following your Glacial Rx™ treatment.

What Glacial Rx™ Results Can I Expect?

Most patients will notice results within one month of treatment. Although many patients achieve noticeable improvements after a single treatment session, we may recommend multiple treatments for large treatment areas or for age spots that are particularly dark. Although Glacial Rx™ can dramatically reduce the appearance of age spots, it cannot prevent them from returning. Patients are encouraged to practice healthy skin care habits and limit their sun exposure to maintain their results as long as possible. Fortunately, if age spots do return, Glacial Rx™ can be repeated as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Glacial Rx™

What exactly is Glacial Rx and how is it different from a laser or IPL treatment for dark spots?

Glacial Rx is a noninvasive, FDAu2011cleared device that uses precision cooling instead of heat to remove benign age spots and improve skin tone, so it is generally more comfortable and gentler than laser or IPL. Glacial Rx is made up of three treatments: Glacial Gloss Rx, Glacial Glide Rx and Glacial Freeze. Glacial Glide Rx is a continuous precision-cooling treatment focused on soothing the skin with the main goal being reducing inflammation, redness, swelling, irritation and discomfort. Glacial Gloss Rx is a facial treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, brightness and overall glow. Glacial Freeze is a targeted spot treatment that specifically address benign skin lesions “age spots” and pigmentation.

How does the “cryomodulation” or cold technology in Glacial Rx work to fade age spots and sun damage?

Its cryomodulation (controlled cold) technology cools pigmentu2011producing cells (melanocytes), suppressing excess melanin production and speeding exfoliation so sun spots and age spots gradually fade as new skin appears.

What kinds of pigmentation issues or benign lesions does the Glacial Rx - Freeze Treatment treat best?

The Glacial Rx - Freeze Treatment is best for benign pigmented lesions such as age spots, sun spots, and other areas of excess brown pigment, while also helping with redness, inflammation, and uneven tone.

Am I a good candidate for the Glacial Rx - Freeze Treatment if I have darker skin or a history of hyperpigmentation after treatments?

Many patients with darker skin or a tendency toward hyperpigmentation can be candidates because the treatment uses cold rather than heat, but a provider should evaluate your history and skin type in person to be sure it is appropriate.

Can the Glacial Rx - Freeze Treatment be used on areas other than the face, like the hands, chest, shoulders, or legs?

Yes, Glacial Rx can be used on multiple body areas, including the face, neck, chest, hands, and other sunu2011exposed areas where benign pigmented spots appear.

How many Glacial Rx - Freeze Treatments sessions do patients typically need?

Most people see visible improvement after a single session, but depending on the number, depth, and darkness of spots, some patients may benefit from additional treatments for optimal clearance.

How long do Glacial Rx - Freeze Treatment results usually last?

Results can continue to improve for up to about three months as pigment breaks down and skin renews, and their longevity depends on your ongoing sun protection and skin care habits.

Is there any downtime with the Glacial Rx - Freeze Treatment, or can I go right back to work, the gym, or social events the same day?

There is minimal to no downtime; you can typically return to normal activities, social events, and work the same day, though treated spots may look temporarily darker before they flake off.

What aftercare steps do you recommend following Glacial Rx - Freeze Treatment?

Aftercare usually includes gentle skincare, moisturizing, avoiding picking at treated spots, and strict daily sunscreen use to protect the results and prevent new pigmentation.

Can Glacial Rx be combined in the same visit or treatment plan with other services like microneedling, peels, or lasers?

Glacial Rx’s continuous cooling mode can be paired with or used around other treatments, and the system is indicated to help reduce inflammation and thermal injury with procedures like lasers and microneedling, but your provider will decide on the safest timing and combinations for your plan.
