Cryotherapy

The Skin Perfector - Flawless skin in a matter of seconds!

The CryoPen™ has taken 13 years to develop and is the most innovative, technologically advanced instrument in cryosurgery on the market today for the permanent removal of:

Freckles or Dark, Hyper Pigmented Lesions Age / Liver Spots Sebhorroeic Warts Milia Warts – Hands & Feet Cherry Angioma (red blisters) Verrucas Skin Tags

Cryotherapy or Cryosurgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used to freeze and destroy benign skin lesions. It uses liquefied nitrous oxid to destroy the tissue by freezing the cell fluid which in turn forms ice shards that rupture the cell membrane inturn destroying the cell and the lesion.

Cryotherapy is beneficial as t is quicker than other treatments and pa1ients canbein and out in seconds. It requires no anesthesia and has minimal scarring. There are no limitations on activities (except protecting the area from damage or abrasion) and patients can return to normal ac1ivities after treatment(s).

First Freeze Cycle

The clinician will hold the applicator as close as possible to the lesion, and move it quickly towards and away from it. Depending on the lesion size and depth, the treatment could be 1 to 30 seconds.

Thaw

After the first freezing cycle, the tissue will be allowed to thaw for about 30 seconds.

Second Freeze Cycle

The second freeze cycle will start. The tissue will freeze faster than during the first freezing cycle. CryoPen Cryotherapy can treat all common benign skin lesions inclLding age spots, warts, skintags, verrucas, cherry angiomas and many more.

Before & After

Cryotherapy FAQ's

What is cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is a procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy tissue. The process is called cryo-necrosis, tissue destruction by freezing.

How is cryosurgery better than other methods of removing skin lesions?

Cryotherapy requires no anaesthesia and has less scarring than other techniques of skin removal with minimal post-op care. Treatment goes fast and can be integrated into daily practice.

How does the CryoPen treatment work?

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. After the first freeze cycle,the tissue can thaw for about 30 seconds. Now the second freeze cycle will begin. The tissue will freeze faster than during the first freezing cycle.

Can anyone have cryotherapy?

Yes, but cautions about skin type and location be considered prior to deciding on freeze times. People with high levels of cryoglobulins should be treated with caution. If with dark skin, one may not want to have cryotherapy,it will killthe melanocytes around the treated area, making the skin in that area lighter.

How long will results last?

For most lesions, cryotherapy is a permanent removal. Some lesions are harder to remove than others. In addition, it is necessary to obtain a result with the least damage to the surrounding skin. In other instances, a deep lesion may take several aggressive treatments to get results. It is important to have an instrument that can adapt to variable dosing of power.

Will there be any scarring after CryoPen treatments?

This does not normally occur. Darkening or lightening of the skin may occur temporarily. Both generally last for a few months. The pigment change is more common in darker skin types.

How many treatments will I require?

Most small common warts will respond to a single treatment. However,certain types and very deep ones can be very difflcuIt to remove and may require morethan one treatment.

Will activities be limited after CryoPen treatments?

There are no limitations on activity except to protect the area from damage or abrasion. Swimming and showering is not a problem.

What type of skinconditions can betreated using the CryoPen?

Skin, skin tags, age spots, warts, actinic keratosis, verruca's, Milia, cherry angiomas and other benign skin imperfections.
