Patent ID: 7799018

Claim:
A cryogenic applicator for rejuvenating skin, comprising: an elongated barrel having a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein the distal portion is formed with a hollow interior surrounded by a wall, with a plurality of openings radiating from the hollow interior through the wall of the distal portion, and wherein the wall is formed with a circumferential groove located between the proximal portion and the distal portion; a head including a cylindrical shaped drum having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the drum is made of a mesh-like material and wherein the proximal end is formed with a ring engaged with the groove of the barrel for rotation of the drum over the distal portion of the barrel, a web affixed to the drum for rotation therewith, wherein the web is a soft porous material, and further wherein the head is substantially juxtaposed with the distal portion of the barrel; and a cryogenic interface; wherein said cryogenic interface supplies a biocompatible non-toxic cryogenic fluid to said head that in turn sparges the biocompatible non-toxic cryogenic fluid onto the skin when said head is rolled on the skin.
