쿨링

A device or process used in heat-based procedures to lower the skin surface temperature, protecting the epidermis and reducing pain.

What the term refers to

The methods vary, including cryogen spray, contact with a cooling tip and air cooling. The purpose is to control things so that heat is delivered to the target depth while the surface does not become excessively hot.

Good to know

Whether cooling is working properly is directly linked to safety. It is best to say so immediately if you feel pain that is hard to bear or excessive heat during a procedure.
