What is The CryoPen?

The CryoPen uses cryotherapy to eliminate imperfections on the surface of the skin. It uses a super-cooled nitrous oxide jet to freeze skin imperfections with precision, causing them to crystalise, shatter, and disappear. The CryoPen simultaneously targets the reproductive DNA associated with the skin area, inhibiting the skin disorder from growing again.

The accuracy of the CyroPen means tissue surrounding the treatment area is left unaffected, resulting in no downtime. CryoPen therapy takes only a few minutes and allows patients to return to normal daily activities straight after treatment.

What Can Be Treated With The CryoPen?

The CryoPen can treat a variety of skin conditions, clearing skin of blemishes and growth.

Warts vary in shape, size, and colour, appearing alone or in clusters. The CryoPen effectively targets and removes all types of warts quickly.

More advanced than standard cryotag removers, the CryoPen uses nitrous oxide for precise, targeted treatment.

Cherry hemangiomas, or red moles, are common skin growths in people over 30, caused by broken blood vessels. Their exact cause is unknown but may be genetic.

With the CryoPen, small cherry angiomas can be removed in a single session with no aftercare needed. Larger ones may shrink and form a scab, potentially requiring a second session.

A skin tag is a small flap of tissue connected to the skin by a stalk, commonly occurring in women and linked to weight gain and aging. They often appear on the neck, armpits, groin, under the breasts, or on the eyelids.

The CryoPen targets and freezes the skin tag, destroying the tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid. The tag will scab and fall off within one to two weeks.

Sun spots, or skin spots, are darkened areas caused by UV radiation stimulating melanocyte production.

The CryoPen allows for same-day treatment. In one session, nitrous oxide is sprayed for five seconds to freeze the top layer of skin. After treatment, scabs will form and eventually fall off. Minimal aftercare, like a mild analgesic ointment, may be needed.

Milia are small white or yellow domes, often on the nose or cheeks, caused by trapped keratin and skin damage. The CryoPen treats milia quickly and painlessly with a cold air jet applied for up to one minute.

A Dermatofibroma is a firm, rubbery bump caused by fibrous tissue overgrowth, often developing after minor trauma.

With the CryoPen, a mild frost forms over the lesion, followed by a second application after a 30-second thaw. The tissue will turn red and inflamed due to bleeding. Typically, the lesion will be removed within two weeks.

How long do CryoPen results take to appear?

The CryoPen uses a form of cryotherapy to freeze targeted cells, causing them to shrink and die over a period of time.

Results will generally take a few weeks to appear, although this can vary based on the size and type of the lesion being treated.

For instance, skin tags usually turn black at the base and fall off after about four weeks. Speak to one of our experts to discuss details relevant to your individual condition.

Is there any downtime associated with CryoPen?

It’s possible to return to normal daily activities as soon as treatment is finished and as the results of treatment become visible. During this period, there can be some minor side effects while the skin heals.

It is normal for the treatment area to be sensitive after treatment with the possibility of slight blistering which can last from a few hours to a few days post-treatment.

The CryoPen provides the best level of protection against blistering when compared to other cryotherapy devices.

CryoPen FAQs

Discomfort with CryoPen Therapy is generally minimal and brief. You might feel a mild, stinging sensation similar to that of nettles during the treatment, caused by the nitrous oxide hitting the target. This sensation typically lasts just a few seconds, though some residual stinging may continue for a minute or two afterward, which is completely normal.
A single CryoPen treatment is usually sufficient. However, in certain cases, a follow-up procedure might be necessary. For example, if a wart or verruca has not cleared up after a month, additional treatment may be required.
CryoPen cryotherapy procedures are fast, effective, and generally safe. However, they may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions, such as collagen disorders, autoimmune diseases, or rheumatoid arthritis. The treatment is also not recommended for pregnant women or for areas previously treated with dermal fillers. Our experts will be able to provide advice and guidance as to whether this treatment is suitable for you.
It is normal for a blister to form on the cryolesion within the first 24 hours and lasts for 2 to 5 days. Healing occurs after the lesion forms a scab, with recovery time varying based on the depth of the wound and its location. Generally, the full recovery process takes between two and six weeks.
Clinical evidence shows that the results CryoPen treatments are usually long-lasting. However, if you are prone to these symptoms, you might experience new skin lesions in different areas.
The healing process can take up to 6 weeks, though it might be longer for some treated areas. CryoPen therapy is a safe and effective procedure that usually results in clear skin. However, after the area has healed, you may notice a faint mark or a flat white scar.

Cryotherapy, translating to “cold-therapy” is a therapeutic treatment that uses extremely cold temperatures in target areas in order to trigger a response from the body. The term cryotherapy is a broad as the use of ice packs and ice baths, to the use of freezing nitrogen-based treatments.

Cryotherapy treatment from the CryoPen uses freezing temperatures to kill the target cells resulting in a scab forming after treatment. This scab will then fall off along with the dead cells a few days later.
