Patent ID: 7993330

Claim:
A method for tightening and rejuvenating skin utilizing a cryogenic applicator, comprising the steps of: holding a handle of a barrel of the cryogenic applicator in a hand; fluidly communicating the cryogenic applicator with a source of a biocompatible non-toxic cryogenic fluid to supply the biocompatible non-toxic cryogenic fluid through the cryogenic applicator; directing, by a hollow interior of the barrel of the cryogenic applicator, the biocompatible non-toxic cryogenic liquid to a head of the cryogenic applicator; rolling the head of the cryogenic applicator quickly, smoothly, and evenly over the skin; sparging the biocompatible non-toxic cryogenic fluid onto the skin when the cryogenic applicator is being rolled, thereby tightening and rejuvenating the skin, wherein said fluidly communicating step includes fluidly communicating the barrel of the cryogenic applicator with the source of the biocompatible non-toxic cryogenic fluid through the hollow interior of the barrel, out through a plurality of openings in a distal portion of the barrel, the openings extending radially through said distal portion and spaced axially along said distal portion, and onto the head of the cryogenic applicator.
