CryoPen Treatment
CryoPen Treatment
CryoPen is an advanced cryotherapy treatment designed to safely and precisely remove a variety of benign skin lesions using extreme cold.
By delivering a controlled jet of nitrous oxide, CryoPen freezes targeted tissue, causing the lesion to break down and naturally fall away, while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.
This quick, non-invasive treatment is ideal for improving skin clarity and restoring a smoother, more even complexion.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your treatment begins with a thorough skin assessment to confirm suitability. CryoPen is then applied directly to the lesion, delivering a precise, high-pressure jet of cryogenic gas.
The procedure is quick, typically lasting only a few seconds per lesion. You may feel a brief cold, stinging sensation during application, but discomfort is minimal and no anaesthetic is usually required.
Aftercare & Downtime
Immediately after treatment, the area may appear red and slightly raised. A small blister or darkening of the lesion can develop over the following days—this is a normal part of the healing process.
The treated lesion will gradually dry out, form a crust, and naturally fall away within 1–3 weeks, revealing clearer skin beneath.
It is important to:
- Avoid picking or scratching the area
- Keep the area clean and dry
- Protect the skin with SPF to prevent pigmentation
Downtime is minimal, and most clients can return to normal activities straight away.
Results & Treatment Plan
Results are often visible once the lesion has naturally shed, with continued improvement as the skin heals.
Some lesions may require more than one session for complete removal, depending on their size and depth. Treatments are typically spaced a few weeks apart if needed.
CryoPen offers a safe, effective solution for restoring smoother, clearer-looking skin with minimal disruption to your routine.
