About

The Glacial^® Rx Story

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, R2 Technologies is the world leader in CryoAesthetics™ medical devices. Our Glacial^® platform for precision contact cooling of the skin has been shown to reduce inflammation and also brighten dark spots.

In 2014, Pansend LLC, the life sciences segment of INNOVATE (NYSE: VATE), founded R2 together with Blossom Innovations, LLC and Massachusetts General Hospital to develop a technology based on their patented method of CryomodulationTM. In 2019, R2 brought on a strategic partner, Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd.

Since that time, R2 has conducted the design, development and extensive clinical research to bring Glacial^® Rx and Glacial^®Spa to market along with an exciting product pipeline.
