CryoMini
Skin cooling for laser and dermatological procedures, and for pain relief.
Applications
Skin cooling during laser hair removal.- Skin cooling during skin renewal procedures.
- Skin cooling during tattoo removal.
- Skin cooling during treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions.
- Pain relief.
- Skin cooling during injections, an application the manufacturer names for CryoMini.
- Skin cooling during laser procedures, an energy-based application the manufacturer names for CryoMini.
- Skin cooling during RF microneedling, an energy-based application the manufacturer names for CryoMini.
How it works
CryoMini works by filtering ambient air and cooling it down to -18°C; Zimmer states that this cooling technology protects the skin from freezing and cold burns. The manufacturer's stated reason for using cold air, rather than other cooling methods, during energy-based treatments is that the cold air does not interfere with the laser beam or intense pulsed light. The cooled air travels to the treatment site through a treatment tube: clips and adapters attach it to the handpieces of common medical laser devices, and an optional support arm holds the tube so both of the operator's hands stay free.

Why this system
Same clinical role as the rest of Zimmer's Cryo range
CryoMini cools the skin during laser and dermatological procedures, and treats pain.
A fit for any clinic already running a laser
CryoMini's cooling role serves exactly that work.
A footprint built for smaller treatment rooms
At 60 x 33 cm, CryoMini fits into medical practice rooms too small for Zimmer's larger Cryo units.
Largely maintenance-free
The unit has a defrosting function with automatic monitoring of the defrost water, and the air filter can simply be vacuumed.
What to know
Practice value
CryoMini fits alongside any laser or dermatological procedure already on the schedule. The same fit applies across the range, Cryo 7, Cryo 6 and CryoMini.
What is CryoMini used for?
Skin cooling during laser hair removal, skin renewal, tattoo removal and treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions, as well as pain relief.
Is CryoMini a smaller version of Cryo 7?
It is the compact unit of the range, and Zimmer's own line for it is "the compact system for brief and less painful applications". CryoMini measures 60 x 33 cm and weighs 35.5 kg, against 106 x 50 x 56 cm and 60 kg for Cryo 7, and it cools filtered ambient air to -18°C where Cryo 7 and Cryo 6 both work at -30°C.
Does a clinic need CryoMini if it already runs a laser?
Any clinic already running a laser is a fit for the cooling role CryoMini performs.
How much maintenance does CryoMini need?
It is largely maintenance-free: a defrosting function automatically monitors the amount of defrost water, and the air filter can simply be vacuumed.
Can CryoMini be used with any laser device?
With clips and adapters, it is compatible with the handpieces of common medical laser devices.
How much power does CryoMini draw?
100 W/h on standby, up to 1.5 kW during therapy.
DNA Nexus support
DNA Nexus will handle installation and set up CryoMini on site.
