CryoPen Treatment

What is CryoPen Treatment?

CryoPen is an advanced cryotherapy treatment that utilises extreme cold to precisely target and remove unwanted skin lesions. This innovative procedure offers a quick, effective, and safe solution for a variety of skin imperfections without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.

 

CryoPen treatment is favored for its precision, minimal discomfort, and quick recovery time, making it an effective option for removing unwanted skin lesions with minimal risk of scarring or complications.

How Does CryoPen Work?

CryoPen works by emitting a fine jet of nitrous oxide under high pressure, which allows for a highly controlled and accurate freezing of the targeted area. The temperature of the treatment area is rapidly lowered, causing the unwanted skin cells to crystallise and die. Over the following days and weeks, the treated cells are naturally shed by the body, revealing healthier skin underneath.

What Conditions Can CryoPen Therapy Treat?

CryoPen treatment is suitable for a wide range of individuals who need the removal of benign skin lesions. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking a non-invasive, quick, and effective method to address various skin concerns.

CryoPen is suitable for treating a wide range of skin conditions, including:

  • Skin Tags: Small, benign growths that often appear in areas where the skin folds or rubs together
  • Lentigines: Also known as age spots or liver spots, these are pigmented spots caused by sun exposure
  • Cherry Angiomas: Small, red, benign tumors of blood vessels.
  • Actinic Keratosis: Rough, scaly patches on the skin caused by years of sun exposure
  • Seborrheic Keratosis: Non-cancerous, wart-like growths that can appear in various areas of the body
  • Sebaceous Hyperplasia: Enlarged oil glands that appear as yellowish, soft bumps on the skin

Benefits of CryoPen Treatments

  • Precision: The fine jet of nitrous oxide allows for accurate targeting of only the affected areas, leaving surrounding healthy tissue unharmed
  • Minimal Discomfort: The treatment is quick and causes minimal discomfort, with most patients experiencing only a slight stinging sensation during the procedure
  • No Downtime: CryoPen treatments typically require no downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately
  • Effective Results: Patients often see visible improvements after just one session, with continued improvement as the treated area heals

What to Expect During And After Treatment?

During the CryoPen treatment, the CryoPen device will be used to apply the nitrous oxide to the targeted area. The procedure usually takes just a few minutes, depending on the size and number of lesions being treated.

 

After the treatment, the area may appear red and swollen, similar to a mild sunburn, and a blister may form. This is a normal part of the healing process, and the treated area will gradually heal over the next few weeks, revealing smoother, clearer skin.

 

CryoPen therapy offers a modern and efficient solution for removing a variety of skin imperfections, helping you achieve healthier, more radiant skin with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Dos and Don'ts During Aftercare

  • Keep the area clean and dry; avoid soaking it in water until it has fully healed
  • Gently wash with mild soap and water if needed, and pat dry carefully
  • Do not pick or scratch at any scabs or blisters that form, as this can lead to scarring or infection
  • Avoid sun exposure of the treated area and to use a high-SPF sunscreen if sun exposure is unavoidable, as the skin may be more sensitive to UV rays 

 

Following these steps can help ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome from your session.
