CryoPen
Professional removal of benign skin lesions with precision and care
What is CryoPen?
CryoPen is a quick and effective treatment for removing benign (non-cancerous) skin lesions using extreme cold (cryotherapy). The CryoPen device delivers a controlled stream of nitrous oxide to the targeted lesion, causing the tissue to freeze and naturally fall away in the days following treatment.
This minimally invasive procedure requires no cuts, stitches, or downtime, making it a convenient option for removing unwanted skin growths safely and hygienically.
Who is it for?
– Skin tags
– Seborrhoeic keratoses
– Cherry angiomas (red spots)
– Warts (excluding genital warts)
– Verrucas
– Milia (white bumps)
– Pigmentation marks (sun spots, liver spots, solar lentigines)
– Actinic Keratosis (pre-cancerous skin lesions)
– Benign Moles
– Dermatofibroma
– Hemangioma
Important: All moles must be reviewed by a GP or dermatologist before they can be treated. If you are unsure whether your lesion is safe to treat, please book a mole screening consultation first.
How does it work?
Cryotherapy or Cryosurgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used to freeze and destroy begin skin lesions. It uses liquefied nitrous oxide gas to destroy the tissue by freezing the cell fluid which in turn forms ice shards that rupture the cell membrane in turn destroying the cell and the lesion.
Cryotherapy is beneficial as it is quicker than other treatments and patients can be out in seconds. It requires no anaesthesia and has minimal scarring. There are no limitations on activities (except protecting the area from damage or abrasion) and patients can return to normal activities after treatment(s).
It is common to need a repeat treatment after 2 weeks. This is included in your initial treatment price.
