New Technique Uses Cold To Temporarily Remove Forehead Wrinkles

HealthDay (4/1, Goodwin) reported that, according to a study presented at a laser medicine conference, cryoneuromodulation, “a new technology that temporarily zaps away forehead wrinkles by freezing the nerves, shows promise in early clinical trials.” HealthDay added, “The technique, if eventually approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, could provide an alternative to Botox [onabotulinumtoxin A] and Dysport [abobotulinumtoxin A]. Both are injectable forms of Botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that, when injected in small quantities, temporarily paralyzes facial muscles, thereby reducing wrinkles,” HealthDay noted.
