CryoShape LTD Launches One-time Scar-freezing Treatment

CryoShape LTD introduced CryoShape, a new technology to reduce or eliminate keloid and hypertrophic scars, at the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery/Anti-Aging Medicine: The Next Generation Symposium in New York City July 20-22, 2012. The product uses a patented intralesional cryoprobe to freeze and thaw deep scar tissue, allowing for enhanced destruction of fibroblasts while blocking further blood circulation in the unwanted tissue. Pigment cells within the skin are not destroyed during treatment. As a result, rates of pigment loss post treatment are significantly reduced, according to the company.
