“…Eventually, Arnott used his cryosurgical device on acne and neuralgia. 3 However, the device did not get cold enough for complete tissue destruction. It was not until after the industrial revolution when temperatures of −190°C could be reached to produce and harness liquid air, marking the beginning of the dermatologic cryosurgery era.…”
