Cold Therapy Freezes Forehead Wrinkles
People looking to freeze time and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles might be able to harness the power of focused cold therapy, according to a study presented at the American Academy of Dermatology 73rd Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
The minimally invasive aesthetic treatment uses cold thermal injury to block the impulse control of motor nerves, leading to temporary muscle relaxation and a reduction in dynamic facial wrinkles.
“The bottom line is that this technology may offer a toxin-free option for interested patients, with near immediate results,” investigator Jeremy Brauer, MD, from the Laser and Skin Surgery Center of New York in South Hampton, told Medscape Medical News.
Investigator ratings revealed a sustained effect in 67% of patients at day 60.
There were no serious adverse events. The most common adverse effects were bruising, swelling, and pain on palpation, the majority of which were mild or moderate and resolved within 2 weeks.
Adverse events included headache (11.4%), eyelid or eyebrow drooping (4.5%), pain (4.5%), eyelid or eyebrow heaviness (2.8%), nausea (2.8%), and bruising (1.1%). All device- and procedure-related adverse events resolved during the follow-up period with no intervention or with over-the-counter medication.
Typically, when dermatologists use cold as therapy, such as when they treat warts, they are careful to not hit the nerves. In contrast, with focused cold therapy, the nerves are the target.
