I chilled some spoons for a client's extractions

The redness faded quickly. She was really happy with how her skin looked.

Using chilled spoons for extractions might do more harm than good. That quick fade in redness is just from the cold numbing the skin, not actual improvement. It could even cause more irritation once the skin warms back up. I mean, from my experience, these tricks don't help with real healing. Idk, maybe it's just me, but relying on temperature changes feels like a band-aid solution. Proper aftercare with gentle methods is safer and more effective long-term.

Honestly that whole chilled spoon thing just sounds like freezer burn with extra steps. Next people will be telling us to rub frozen peas on our faces or hold steak over our eyes like a cartoon character. Tbh if my skin needs fixing, I'm not grabbing something from the utensil drawer.

But come on, sometimes a quick fix is all someone wants... it's not like everyone has time for a full routine. That cold can really help calm things down fast, even if @alice_king66 says it's just numbing. For a client who just needs the redness gone now, it works.

In my experience, that quick fix can set you back. The cold shrinks things down fast, sure, but it's just pushing inflammation deeper. When your skin warms up, the redness and swelling often come back worse. It's like putting a lid on a pot that's still boiling. A gentle, cool compress is one thing, but slapping something frozen on broken skin risks more damage. Your mileage may vary, but I've seen it go wrong too many times.
