Abstract:
1. A skin treatment system, comprising: (a) a handle; (b) an applicator supported by the handle, the applicator including a thermally conductive element; (c) a base unit comprising at least a housing; (d) a gas expansion chamber supported by the base unit and having an insertion opening sized to receive at least the thermally conductive element of the applicator; (e) a coupling supported by the base unit and connectable to a supply of pressurized fluid for providing the pressurized fluid into the expansion chamber; and (f) a valve, disposed in the fluid path between the supply and the expansion chamber so as to control release of any pressurized fluid into the expansion chamber, so that the thermally conductive element of the applicator is cooled by the release of pressurized fluid into the expansion chamber.
