Freckles Frozen Off With Dry Ice
FREEZING off freckles by means of pen-
x cils of compressed carbon dioxide snow,
often called "dry ice," is a new method of
getting rid of these skin blemishes devised
by an Italian physician, Dr. M. Matarasso.
The dry ice, which will freeze all human
tissues solid after contact of more than a
few moments, is compressed into a small
stick or pencil, sharp-pointed like a lead
pencil. The point of this pencil of concen-
trated cold then is pressed against each
freckle in turn for three seconds. After the
colored skin of the freckle drops off in
about a week, the new skin thus disclosed
is white and unmarked.
