Silicon Valley-based myoscience will soon be introducing its pen-like cooling device in the US having just been cleared by the FDA for targeted pain reduction. The company’s Focused Cold Therapy technology is meant to induce a kind-of hibernation of nerves, blocking their signaling ability and therefore reducing nearby pain.
Pain reduction, though, is only half the story as the same device was approved in Europe and Canada for temporary wrinkle reduction, not an indication the FDA has approved yet. The idea of temporarily reducing wrinkles on the way to a date without worrying too much about side effects puts a new twist on modern dating and may even evolve the definition of what a cosmetic is.
