ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises an assembly including a hollow polyolefin sphere (1) containing a eutectic cooling mixture which is maintained at a temperature of about -20.degree. C. The filled sphere functions to accumulate negative kilocalories and is manipulated by means of an isothermal plastic handle or sleeve in order to apply the sphere to the epidermis. The application of the cold sphere to the epidermis produces vasoconstrictive and vasodilative effects which are beneficial to the maintenance of the epidermal tissues of the skin being massaged. The cryogenic massage can be completed with the application of nutritive substances for the epidermis. The invention can also be used to relieve local aches.
