Dynamic Skin Cooling with Non-Toxic Cryogen with Minimal Global Warming Potential
Laser therapy, skin rejuvenation, hair removal.
Researchers at UCI's Beckman Laser Institute have developed a method of delivery and use of a non-toxic, low (0) GWP substitute for R-134 that both cools the epidermis as needed and actually reduces pain of laser treatment beyond that achieved by the traditional R-134 coolant. The method and coolant are also delivered at a lower cost than R-134 and is compatible with low global warming potential requirements.
