You decide: Nitrogen in liquid form is below -320 degrees Fahrenheit.Application to the skin freezes it immediately causing the water within to expand (like ice does) and when the skin warms the change from ice back to water causes the tissue to die. Application kills any skin within the range of this freezing. If you want to create little scar holes in the area of the zits, this is how you do it.
