No, but, it will stop the further growth of a woman's breasts and a man's penis. I really wish I had never went out in the cold when I was a boy. :-p
The link is the Cryonics Society you can learn a little here, actually it is interesting.

Collectively correct. You can be cooled until frozen without frostbite. So that is not an issue really.
The idea is, you cool off......you get cold...cold....colder and colder slowing your metabolic functions until there is little if any metabolism at all.
To be honest I do not know if such a thing is actually possible. I tend to think that if there are, the problem they face is the re-animating people after such a thing has been done to them.
Once you are frozen you are dead I'd think, and once that happens you're gone......thawed or not.
Now that I think about it I think foolish weathly people have, upon their death, stated in their Will, state they are to be cryogenically preserved.....lol....meaning turn them into a frozen 'stiff', and keep them until such time as there is a cure for what they died from.
In my opinion, maybe someone else out there knows for sure, but a living thing, like a human being needs energy to survive. Cells need to function. They need food, as does all the other functions of the body. Oxygen needs to be made and if no foods are given, the body begins to consume itself. Losing muscle mass.
So, in a sense.....if you are frozen, yeah....you stop aging, but that's because your dead......lol.

Cryonics is used to freeze clinically dead people in the hopes of finding a way to resuscitate them in the future, when a medical cure might be possible.
They haven't figured out how to resuscitate anybody yet.

At this point, it is not possible. When water freezes, it forms crystals and expands. The water in our bodies, when we freeze, damages our cells and the organs comprised of those cell can no longer function.

Well they can freeze people but thawing them is the issue. So until they figure that out we probably will not know.

It would stop the ageing process inasmuch as you'd be dead. You would get frostbite... real bad... They would have to amputate everything.

Yes.
Crawl into the freezer and stay there. You won't age anymore.

no it increases the aging, you break down your skins response too the cold, which kills, cells
