ICE ... really? Ice!

Here’s an interesting topic of late. I was told that some electrology discussions are focusing on the notion that “icing the skin after the treatment prevents the skin from healing.”

Do I have an opinion … now, what do you think?

But, this time I will (finally) shut the hell up and just toss it out there for discussion. (Does this really need discussion … ooops, there I go again!)

How consequent is the icing performed in that case?

BTW: cooling the skin counteracts the swelling. This is sometimes more important than the (theoretical?) counteraction of cooling to the healing process.
