Laser treatments create heat. IPL and AFT treatments also create heat. An increase in epidermal temperature is one reality of any laser skin treatment and, in some cases, an intentional part of the protocol. In other procedures, however, heat creates risk; and the greater the heat the greater the risk. As dermatology laser equipment improved, the amount of discomfort a patient must endure has decreased and the safety has increased – dramatically. Of the many systems on the market today, some come with integrated contact cooling or rely on external contact cooling devises such as the Zimmer Cryo 5, 6, or mini.  The Harmony XL by Alma Lasers is the other system to provide you with the choice of contact cooled or non cooled handpieces.

While utilizing non cooled handpieces, the best way to manage pain tolerance and epidermal safety, it’s necessary to cool the patient’s skin with an external medical cooling device. The Cryo-5 from Zimmer Medizen Systems has enjoyed a long reputation as an industry standard. The Cryo-5 allows the aesthetic laser operator to cool the patient’s skin before and after the procedure as well as during the treatment. The cool air chills the patient’s skin, reducing the amount of pain the patient feels and greatly increases treatment safety.  Cooling is valuable for more than laser and IPL/AFT treatments. Aesthetic laser offices utilize cooling to temporarily relieve the discomfort of cosmetic injections, too.

The Cryo-5 is a primary component of most aesthetic laser practicesoffering the following features:

  • Copy feature notes from description document
