Abstract

Cryomodulation, or the delivery of controlled cooling to downregulate inflammatory processes in the skin, has been proposed to mitigate acute side effects following various dermatologic treatments. A new controlled cooling device has been developed to deliver cryomodulation for a range of different indications. In this clinical study, we evaluate the device for the reduction of pain, erythema, and edema following nonablative fractional resurfacing (NAFR).
