What is CryoShape for Keloids?

What is CryoShape for Keloids?


If you have keloid scars, it’s likely you’ve been looking for the best possible treatment. Cryotherapy is a promising option for you.

Until not too long ago, the options for removing keloid scars were slim. Getting surgery often meant that keloid scars would grow back even bigger, while getting cortisone injections made the keloids redder than they had been before. This is why the best option for keloid scar removal is Cryotherapy, with its main tool being the CryoShape (otherwise called the CryoNeedle). 


The CryoShape is a hand-held cryosurgical device, a probe connected to a tank of cryogenic liquid (liquid nitrogen). In order to remove the keloid scar, medical professionals inject the probe into the keloid, administering liquid nitrogen at freezing temperatures (-196°C, or -320.8°F) through it. This freezes the keloid so that it becomes white and frozen. Depending on how big the keloid is, treatment sessions can last between 10 and 60 minutes. Over the next few weeks, the frozen keloid shrivels and falls off. 


The good news is that most people only need one treatment session to get the desired results. While most patients can go home immediately after treatment, it’s best to wait about a day before resuming everyday activities. There is a lower risk of infection after treatment as well. 


You might be wondering if the CryoNeedle specifically is special in Cryotherapy, or if you could use other tools and have the same effect. The CryoNeedle is, in fact, a unique tool. What makes the CryoNeedle unique is twofold. The first factor is its intralesional application, meaning that it directly injects the liquid nitrogen into the keloid scar. The other factor is its shape, which is especially long to ensure extremely precise application capabilities. This provides both control and comfort to the medical professional and the patient. Injecting the liquid nitrogen exactly into the keloid can be challenging, since the scar tissue is often rubbery, dense, and hard. To make sure that the liquid nitrogen penetrates the keloid, the CryoNeedle has a sharp, sealed, distal tip. The CryoNeedle is unique in comparison to its counterparts because it has an increased freezing area of deep scar material. Commercially available surface or contact probes are not nearly as capable of reaching deep scar material.


You can probably tell by now that it’s important that the CryoShape be developed to the highest of standards because it’s such a crucial tool. This is why our CryoNeedle is FDA approved and is made according to the latest innovations.
