A numbing drug may be applied to the skin to help prevent pain or discomfort. If it is an internal area to be treated, a special probe with a flexible tube is used to apply the freezing agent. An ultrasound can be used to guide such treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A colorless, odorless gas with a liquid state temperature of around -196\u00b0, liquid nitrogen makes up the whole jet that is delivered.
