Cryotherapy

What is Cryotherapy?

Cryopen therapy is a safe and effective method for removing a variety of benign skin blemishes. Using a specialised device called the CryoPen, the treatment delivers nitrous oxide to the targeted area, destroying the underlying tissue. This prevents the cells from regenerating, reducing the likelihood of blemishes returning. Small skin tags or minor growths often require just one session, while larger or deeper lesions may need multiple treatments.

The procedure is relatively quick and generally well-tolerated, though mild discomfort or temporary skin irritation can occur during or shortly after treatment. While cryotherapy is commonly used for benign growths, it may not be suitable for all types of lesions. As with any removal method, there is a small risk of scarring, pigmentation changes, or recurrence. Consulting a dermatologist or qualified healthcare professional is essential to ensure the treatment is appropriate, safe, and tailored to your specific needs.

How does the crypopen therapy procedure work?

Preparation: Before the procedure, the area around the skin tag is cleaned thoroughly.
Application of cold: A cryotherapy device, often containing liquid nitrogen or another freezing agent, is applied to the skin tag. The extreme cold temperature freezes the tissues, causing cellular damage.
Cellular destruction: The freezing temperature destroys the cells within the skin tag.
Formation of a scab: After the treatment, a scab forms over the treated area as the damaged tissue heals.
Healing and removal: Over the following days or weeks, the scab falls off naturally, and the skin tag is gradually eliminated.

Cryotherapy treatment areas

Cryopen therapy is performed on specific areas of the face or body where skin imperfection improvement is required. Areas typically treated are for benign skin lesions such as skin tags, pigmentation, sunspots, liver spots, seborrheic keratosis, warts, and verrucas

Patients with open wounds, certain skin conditions, skin cancer, malignant skin lesions, as well as those diagnosed with cardiac disease and impaired circulation, should avoid the treatment.
