How does the CryoPen™ work?

Unlike other methods that might use more invasive lasers, CryoPen™  works by emitting a fine jet of nitrous oxide under high pressure, which allows us to work with pinpoint accuracy.

This freezes and destroys the tissue by freezing the intercellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals that rupture the cell membrane, thereby destroying it.

This brings many benefits, including:

• Cells can’t reproduce and come back as any reproductive DNA is removed
• Precise application means it’s extremely safe, and the surrounding healthy tissue is not affected
• A short treatment time
• Minimal side effects that should fade within around 48 hours

Which skin imperfections can be treated with CryoPen™?

Skin tags – Skin tags are a common and harmless imperfection that causes no pain or discomfort, but can often affect a person’s self-esteem and confidence levels. As such, skin tag removal using CryoPen™ treatment has become an increasingly popular option at our clinic.

Milia – Although they can appear anywhere on the body, millia are usually grouped together on the nose, cheeks, and chin. They are small white bumps which develop when skin flakes get trapped or keratin builds up under the surface of the skin, and they usually resolve on their own over time.

If not, millia can be particularly stubborn and specialised treatments, such as CryoPen™, are required to get rid of them once and for all.

Cherry angiomas – Essentially, a cherry angioma is a red mole, and they can develop on most areas of the body. Unless a cherry angioma bleeds or changes in shape, size, or colour, they are not usually a cause for concern, but people often like to have them removed for a more perfect appearance.

Warts and verrucas  – While most people will experience a wart or verruca at some point in their lives, and although they don’t cause any harm, some people find them itchy, painful and embarrassing.

This is why, rather than waiting months (or even years) for them to go away on their own, many people now turn to Cryotherapy for warts and verrucas and seek the professional help of our clinic.

Pigmentation / Age Spots – Presenting as flat brown or black marks that appear on the surface of the skin and typically found on the face, hands, shoulders, upper back, and forearms, sun and age spots are caused by excess production of melanin or skin pigment. This most likely comes from normal skin ageing and frequent exposure to the sun.
