Abstract

An intralesional method for treating a hypertrophic scar or keloid using a cryoprobe. The method comprises: (a) inserting the cryoprobe into the hypertrophic scar or keloid so that the cryoprobe is positioned within the hypertrophic scar or keloid; and (b) introducing a cryogen into the cryoprobe thereby freezing the hypertrophic scar or keloid. The cryoprobe has a sealed distal end comprising a cutting tip. Also disclosed is a cryoprobe comprising an elongated, uninsulated housing having a sealed distal end and a proximal end. The housing comprises therein a cryogen inlet tube. The cryoprobe further comprises a cutting tip at the distal end of the housing and a cryogen vent adjacent to the proximal end and in fluid communication with the interior of the housing.
