The applicator is held as close as possible to the skin imperfection and moved quickly towards and away from it. This could be from 1 to 30 seconds, depending on the size and depth.

Thaw
After the first freeze cycle, the tissue is allowed to thaw for about 30 seconds.

Second cycle - freeze
Now the second freeze cycle will begin. The tissue will freeze faster than during the first freezing cycle.
