Cryo Facial · $325 · 60 min
At Vearitea Wellness Spa in Hulen Mall, a cryotherapy facial is $325 for a 60-minute session. That is the menu price, and it is the same whether you book one session or your sixth. There are no extra fees for the cooling step, the cleanse or the serum at the end. Affirm financing is available if you would rather spread the cost of a series over time.
We list the price here because many people search for it before they call. Prices around Fort Worth vary a great deal, from a $50 add-on at the end of a standard facial to a few hundred dollars for a full cryo session. Those numbers are not describing the same treatment, so the rest of this guide explains what our hour includes and what to look at when you compare.
A cryotherapy facial at our spa begins with a cleanse. This removes surface oil so the cooling step works on clean skin. Your specialist checks in about any sensitivities before the cold begins, and you can ask for a lighter pass or a short break at any time.
The cooling itself uses an applicator chilled to −6 °C. It is moved over the face in short, controlled passes and never rests in one spot. The applicator is cold; your skin is not brought to that temperature. You will feel a noticeable chill and some tingling, which many clients describe as refreshing rather than uncomfortable. Many clients notice a tighter, less puffy look afterwards, and the effect is temporary.
The session finishes with a serum suited to your skin. There is typically no downtime. Skin may look slightly pink for up to an hour, and makeup can go on the same day. The full visit takes about 60 minutes, which leaves time for a proper cleanse and a calm pace rather than a rushed cold finish. You can read more about the treatment on our cryotherapy facial page.
Our facial packages bundle LED Skin Tightening Facials with take-home daily products. Bronze is two LED facials plus one product for $550, Silver is three plus two for $800, and Gold is four plus three for $1,100. Those bundles are built around the LED facial, which is $250 on its own, so they do not apply to the cryotherapy facial.
That means a series of cryotherapy facials is priced simply: $325 per session, with no package discount to calculate. Four sessions come to $1,300 and six to $1,950. You can see every facial and body price on our pricing page, and the LED bundles on our packages page.
Some clients alternate a cryotherapy facial with an LED facial across a series. That is a reasonable way to use a package for the LED visits while paying the menu price for the cryo visits. Your specialist can help you plan the order.
For many people, a cooling facial is a comfortable way to temporarily reduce the look of puffiness and redness and leave skin feeling tight and refreshed. Cold briefly narrows surface blood vessels, which is why skin often looks calmer and less flushed right after a session. The effect is cosmetic and it fades over days to weeks, so results vary from person to person.
It is not for everyone. Cold-sensitivity conditions such as cold urticaria, pregnancy, an active skin infection, open areas on the face or recent surgery are reasons to check with your physician first, and to tell your specialist before the session. Our services are cosmetic, not medical care. If you are pregnant or have a pacemaker, cold urticaria, an active skin infection or recent surgery, talk to your physician before booking.
Two answers, because the question gets asked both ways. The appointment itself takes about 60 minutes from check-in to serum. The look it gives, which is fresher, less puffy and slightly tighter, is strongest for the first day or two and usually fades over several days to a couple of weeks.
Because the effect is temporary, a series tends to give a more consistent look than a single visit. A typical starting point is four to six sessions, often one to two weeks apart, then maintenance every three to five weeks. If you are booking for one event, many clients choose a single session a day or two beforehand. Your specialist will tailor the plan, and results vary.
For a facial, the common effects are mild and short-lived: temporary pinkness, a tingling or numb feeling, and a cold sensation that fades within minutes. The treatment does not change the structure of the skin, so it does not replace a skincare routine or any care your dermatologist has recommended. It is also one of the more expensive facials on our menu, which is worth weighing against how often you want the effect.
The other downside is the one that drives most of the price confusion. Results are temporary, so a cryotherapy facial is a series or an occasional refresh rather than a one-time fix. Knowing that up front helps you decide whether $325 per session fits your plan before you book.
If you see a cryo facial listed for $50 to $150 in Fort Worth, ask three questions. First, how long is the cold step? Many lower prices are a five-minute finish added to the end of a regular facial, not a 60-minute session built around the cooling. Second, is cold the whole treatment or an extra? A $75 add-on on top of a $150 facial is a $225 visit, which is closer to our price than it first appears.
Third, what is doing the cooling? Chilled ice globes and cold stones are pleasant, and some spas use them well, but they warm up quickly against the skin and do not hold a set temperature. A device-chilled applicator held at −6 °C delivers a steadier cold for the whole pass. Both are cosmetic, and neither is right or wrong, but they are different products and should not be compared on price alone.
A fair comparison lines up duration, what is included before and after the cold, the tool used, and whether the specialist can adjust the pass for your skin. Once those match, compare the price. If they do not match, you are comparing two different treatments.

Book online, call (214) 447-7748 or email [email protected]. If you are not sure whether cryotherapy or an LED or RF facial fits your goal, book a consultation and we will recommend one.
If you plan a series, let us know at your first visit so we can space the sessions and note anything your specialist should adjust. Payment is per session at $325.
No. Our cryotherapy facial is one session type at $325 for 60 minutes. For a lower-cost visit, the Express Hydrating Facial is $125 for 30 minutes, though it does not include cooling. LED and RF facials are $250 for 60 minutes.
That depends on what you want from it. If you are booking for one event, a single session a day or two beforehand is often enough. If you want a more consistent look, a series works better because the effect is temporary; the section above on how long a cryotherapy facial lasts covers a typical cadence. Results vary, and your specialist will tailor the plan at your first visit.
Yes. Affirm financing is available at the spa. Many clients use it to spread the cost of a series. Eligibility and terms are set by Affirm.
