CryoPen is an advanced cryotherapy innovation that is a fast, effective, safe and new solution for removal of skin imperfections. Procedures typically last from 5 to 25 seconds, so you can be in and out of the clinic quickly.
The CryoPenTM emits a fine jet of nitrous oxide under high pressure, which allows the clinician to work with millimetre precision. This destroys the tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals which rupture the membrane, thereby destroying the cell. That means there will be no collateral damage to healthy tissue. It’s so incredibly accurate and practical. Cosmetic procedures such as skin tags, milia and cherry angiomas are no longer being treated by many doctors on the NHS.
The treatment can be performed on a maximum of 5 lesions per session or 3 larger lesions, repeat treatments upon the same lesion can be performed after 6 weeks providing the lesion has fully healed.
First Cycle Freeze
The applicator is held as close as possible to the skin imperfection and moved quickly towards and away from it. This could be from 1-30 seconds, depending on the size and depth.
Thaw
30 Seconds
Second Cycle Freeze
The tissue will freeze faster than the first cycle
CryoPen™Therapy is relatively low-risk and side effects and complications are usually minimal. Some side-effects may occur as a result of the treatments and can include:
Skin Tags
These will turn black at the base and fall off over a period of 1 – 6 weeks, larger skin tags 3mm+ may require a second treatment session, this can be completed after 6 weeks.
Millia
As these are superficial, keratin filled epidermal cysts, they will usually flatten and disappear, you may experience blisters and you should follow the advice. You may require multiple sessions if you have several lesions as there are a maximum number that can be treated during 1 session, this can be reviewed and tailored to your requirements.
Warts (not Veruccae)
You may require more than one session, which can be completed after 4 weeks, no aftercare unless you develop blisters if so you should follow the advice
Pigmentation & Cherry Angioma
The treatment area may raise and look like a bee sting, this is normal and will disappear within a few hours.
