Interact with your patients.
Inform patients that there will be a pain sensation similar to
a ballpoint being pushed onto the skin. Generally, little or no
discomfort is experienced during the first few seconds when
you manage to avoid treatment of healthy tissue. The ice will
reach the caudal extent of the lesion after a given amount of
time related to the depth of the lesion. From that moment
the patient will experience a pain sensation. This may be the
moment to stop treatment. You may eventually add a few
seconds more depending on the patient's comfort level and
upon the clinical evaluation of the operation. There might be
a little residual stinging for a few minutes after treatment.
Occasionally, a blister might form and persist for a few hours.
