They have the same type of method kind of. But when you freeze them, they put this gel on them, and then they take this little bottle thing with a quetip at the end and just touch it. It acctually pinches, it just depends how wimpy you are. I'm wayyyyyy wimpy, so i couldn't let them stay on as long as they should've. Of course that was in fifth grade....
Then the medicine kind of burned and itched, so i hated that.
the lasering left scars and were wounds for a couple of weeks, but its better now, and i'm wart free. ahhahaa [ alex_ABC_123's advice column | Ask alex_ABC_123 A Question ]
