About CryoShape
Since 2003, CryoShape has been used by dermatologists, plastic surgeons and dermato-surgeons from around the world to treat patients with a wide range of Keloid and hypertrophic scars. With thousands of satisfied patients from around the world, and numerous studies that have been peer-reviewed and published, CryoShape is proven to be an evidence-based, powerful and effective solution. It is FDA cleared, and as of 2022 has dedicated CPT codes (17110 & 17111) as well.
Keloids are hard to treat
Hypertrophic scars and keloids result from an abnormal wound healing process and can be both physically and psychologically debilitating for the patient. These scars are frequently conspicuous, and patients can present with symptoms including pain and itchiness. Management of these scars can be difficult given the high recurrence rates and potential for additional scar growth.
Various treatment modalities are not effective enough
While there are multiple treatment methods to treat keloids, no solution to-date has proven to be effective, long lasting, and without side effects. Various laser treatments require a large number of sessions per scar, and often cannot resolve the keloid completely. Steroid injections and silicone bandages return limited results. Contact and spray cryotherapy have been used as well, however, by virtue of their superficial approach, these techniques are associated with high recurrence rates, hypopigmentation of the epidermis, and no significant impact to the deeper dermal layers.
How does CryoShape work?
CryoShape is a sharp, high quality, cryo probe that is able to pierce the dense scar tissue. Liquid nitrogen is passed through the probe, which freezes the core of the scar and destroys the surrounding tissue. The nitrogen is released as gas via a safety vent. Liquid nitrogen does not come in contact with the patient at any stage. Freezing from the inside out results in direct damage to the keloid cells and injury to the surrounding vascular structures, while leaving the epidermis relatively unharmed.
CryoShape was invented by Clinical Prof. Yaron Har-Shai MD, Director of the Department of Plastic Surgery at Carmel and Linn Medical Centers, past Presdient of the Israel society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, and is the current President of the International Society of Cryosurgery.
CryoShape is manufactured in Israel by Chaban Medical, an experienced medical device manufacturer.
