Frotox & Red Carpet InstantCryo Facials: The Lift + Glow That Changes Everything

What to expect, how to prep, how to extend results at home, and the truth about Frotox vs Botox

At ICU Wellness Spa, we believe skincare should do more than feel relaxing.

It should create a visible shift.

That “you look refreshed… what did you do?” kind of shift.

Two of our most loved services—especially for clients who want results without needles—are:

❄️ Frotox InstantCryo Facial

✨ Red Carpet InstantCryo Facial (Frotox as the star)

If you’ve ever asked:

• “Will it help wrinkles?”

• “How long do results last?”

• “What should I do before and after?”

• “Does anything change long-term with consistency?”

• “Is Frotox like Botox?”

This complete guide is for you 🤍

What is Frotox?

Frotox is our signature InstantCryo facial designed to create a lifted, tightened, and depuffed look—quickly and beautifully.

Using controlled, professional-grade cold therapy applied in a safe moving pattern across the face and neck, Frotox supports:

• reduced puffiness + fluid retention
• refined pores + smoother texture
• calmer skin (less redness/inflammation)
• tighter, firmer-looking tissue
• brighter, more awake skin tone
• sculpted appearance through jawline, cheeks, and eyes

Clients often describe it as:

✨ “snatched”

✨ “awake”

✨ “lifted”

✨ “rested”

✨ “my skin looks calm again”

✨ "PLUMPer"

✨ "soft"

✨ "smooth"

✨ "my skin is tighter"

✨ " My skin will never be the same"

What is the Red Carpet Facial?

If Frotox is the sculpt…

Red Carpet is the glow.

Our Red Carpet InstantCryo Facial includes Frotox plus luxurious finishing techniques and infusion elements designed to create:

✨ deep hydration + plumpness

✨ luminous “glass-skin” glow

✨ smoother-looking texture

✨ radiant, polished tone

✨ makeup that applies like butter afterward

This is the go-to facial for:

• weddings

• vacations

• parties & events

• photos

• speaking engagements

• anytime you want your skin to look & feel amazing 😘

What Frotox does to the MUSCLES (and why it shows on your face)

Most people don’t realize facial aging isn’t only about skin… it’s also about muscle tension patterns.

• Frotox does not paralyze muscles like Botox
• It does not freeze expressions

But it can help calm over-gripping in areas like the forehead, jaw, straw lines, and around the eyes, which creates a visibly softer, more lifted look.

When facial tension releases, clients often notice:

✨ smoother-looking forehead

✨ brighter, more open eyes

✨ less heaviness in the jaw/lower face

✨ a relaxed, youthful “rested face” glow

The Hidden Reason Your Face Looks Older: Facial Muscle Tension

What Frotox does to the SKIN: tightening, glow & pores

Cold therapy supports the skin through two key phases:

❄️ Phase 1: Tighten + calm

Cold causes a temporary constriction response that can help:

• reduce puffiness
• calm redness/inflammation
• tighten the appearance of pores
• create immediate firmness

🔥 Phase 2: Rebound circulation (the glow)

As the face warms again, circulation returns—often creating:

✨ brighter skin

✨ refreshed vibrancy

✨ radiant tone

This is why many clients notice their glow “blooms” even more after sleep.

What Frotox does for WRINKLES (honest, realistic)

Frotox supports wrinkles differently than injectables.

Frotox helps most with:

☑️ fine lines worsened by inflammation

☑️ dehydration lines

☑️ puffiness-related lines (especially under eyes)

☑️ tension lines

☑️ jowls

Frotox does not fully erase:

❌ deep static wrinkles etched into the skin over time

However, it often makes deeper lines look less harsh by improving:

☑️ firmness

☑️ texture

☑️ hydration response

☑️ inflammation levels

Does Frotox stimulate collagen?

Frotox is not the same as microneedling, lasers, or RF (true collagen induction procedures).

However, Frotox may support collagen health indirectly by improving the skin environment:

•  reduced inflammation (inflammation accelerates collagen breakdown)
•  healthy circulation response
•  improved tissue tone and firmness over time with consistency

A safe, accurate way to say it:

Frotox supports the skin’s natural collagen process by calming inflammation and supporting healthy circulation—helping skin appear firmer and smoother over time.

Frotox vs Botox: what’s the difference?

Botox (injectable neuromodulator)

Botox works by:

☑️ blocking nerve signals to muscles

☑️ reducing muscle movement

☑️ smoothing dynamic wrinkles

Best for:

• forehead lines

• “11’s”

• crow’s feet

Results:

• begin 3–7 days

• peak around 10–14 days

• last ~3–4 months (varies)

⸻

Frotox (InstantCryo facial)

Frotox works by:

☑️ calming inflammation + redness

☑️ tightening the look of tissue

☑️ lymph movement (depuffing)

☑️ rebound circulation (radiance)

☑️ relaxing facial tension (not paralysis)

Best for:

• puffiness

• dullness

• inflammation/redness

• pores/texture

• “tired face” appearance

• fine lines worsened by swelling/dehydration

Botox is muscle-paralyzing. Frotox is tension-relaxing + skin-calming.

Different mechanisms… both can be beautiful.

How to PREP for your facial (so results are next-level)

24–48 hours before:

☑️ Hydrate with minerals/electrolytes (not just plain water)

☑️ avoid heavy salt and alcohol

☑️ please don’t arrive starving (stable blood sugar = calmer skin)

Day of:

☑️ arrive with minimal makeup if possible/ clean bare face is best.  if not, We've got you

☑️ avoid sauna/hot tub/hot workout before

☑️ tell us if you’re sensitive, reactive, or breaking out (we customize everything)

What to expect AFTER your facial

Immediately:

✨ tighter look

✨ reduced puffiness

✨ refined pores

✨ brighter tone

✨ calmer face

12–24 hours later:

This is when results often “bloom.”

Many clients say:

“I look even better the next day.”

How long will results last? (and why that’s normal)

Every face is unique, but for most clients:

• noticeable benefit lasts 7–14 days

• glow peaks over the next 1–3 days (especially Red Carpet)

And here’s an important truth most people forget:

✨ We age every day.

So youthful skin isn’t a one-time event… it’s a practice.

Botox is temporary.

Frotox Facials are temporary.

Even working out in the gym is temporary if we stop.

That doesn’t make these treatments less valuable—

it means consistency is the real secret.

When you stay consistent, results compound… and your glow becomes your baseline.

After multiple facials… does anything change long-term?

Yes 🤍

With consistency, many clients notice:

• less puffiness becomes their new normal
• improved jawline definition
• smoother texture + tone
• fine lines appear softer more consistently
• skin looks calmer + stronger between sessions

Because repeated treatments improve the environment of the face:

inflammation, circulation, lymph movement, and tissue tone.

And when the environment shifts…

✨ the face shifts.

How to EXTEND your results at home (this is the magic)

✨ Your facial is the spark.

Your at-home routine is the fuel.

☑️ EXTENDS results:

• water + minerals/electrolytes

• low salt 24 hours

• low alcohol 48 hours

• avoid heat 24 hours (sauna/hot tubs/steam)

• no acids/retinol for 24–48 hours

• gentle skincare only (cleanse + moisturize)

• SPF daily

• prioritize sleep

• 2-minute lymph sweep down jaw/neck at night

• reduce sugar spikes + inflammatory foods

❌ SHORTENS results:

• dehydration

• salty meals + wine same day

• sauna/hot tubs within 24 hours

• acids/retinol too soon

• poor sleep

• lots of sugar/processed oils

• skipping SPF
