Abstract
The present is directed to improved systems and methods for skin cooling treatments. A skin cooling treatment system can include a mechanical arm that can have a proximal end and an distal end. The system can include a processor that can control the mechanical arm, and a cryospray applicator. The cryospray applicator can be coupled to the distal end of the mechanical arm and can be moveable by the mechanical arm to deliver a spray of cryogen to a portion of an area of skin tissue for treatment. The cryospray applicator can include an array of orifices through which the cryogen can be sprayed.
