Benefits of Cryotherapy Treatment with CryoPen
Cryotherapy, utilising the innovative CryoPen, is a transformative treatment that harnesses the power of extreme cold to effectively eliminate abnormal tissue growth and skin blemishes.
This cutting-edge approach is versatile, making it an ideal choice for addressing various skin conditions, including warts, skin tags, skin damage, age spots, cherry spots, verrucae, and unwanted blemishes.
The CryoPen’s precision lies in its ability to freeze inter-cellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals that rupture the membrane and destroy the targeted cells. What sets it apart is its pinpoint accuracy, ensuring zero harm to surrounding healthy tissue.

After Treatment Side Effects
Cryotherapy is a relatively low-risk treatment and side effects and complications are usually minimal. Some side effects may occur as a result of the treatment. These include:
- Headaches are not uncommon when freezing on the forehead, scalp and temples and can last for 2 hours.
- Pigment changes. Both hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin) and hyperpigmentation (darkening of the
skin). Both generally last a few months, but can be longer lasting. - Nerve damage. Though rare, damage to nerves is possible, particularly in areas where they lie closer to
the surface of the skin, such as the fingers, the wrist, and the area behind the ears. This will normally disappear within several months. - A blister may appear in the treated area and can last anything from a few hours to a few days, dependent on the area to be treated.
- Shards of frozen ice. The innovation of Cryotherapy is the direct application of carbon dioxide under high pressure (55 bar). This high pressure jet may cause minor shards of frozen ice in the air blown away in a circle of approximately 30cm. They will thaw the moment they would eventually touch healthy skin.
- Treatments on sites with coarse terminal hair. Hair follicles are easily damaged by Cryosurgery and permanent alopecia is not uncommon.
Aftercare
General Health Expections
- Most healing is straightforward and occurs without problem, and will take place in 4 to 6 weeks, however it may sometimes take longer than this, as all skin varies, and can take longer to regenerate
- Any treatments that take longer than 6 weeks to heal may need to be reviewed.
- If your immune system is compromised, you may still have treatment, BUT healing may take longer, and you may require further treatment
- If the area treated is tanned, the treatment will remove the tanning and the skin will
need to repigment to the tanned colour. The small dry crusting that forms should come away after 4 weeks, if not please wait until it has done so before contacting us. - During the healing time you may shower/wash as normal and use your usual
cosmetics, including makeup, deodorants and moisturising creams.
Milia
- These are generally small superficial cysts filled with keratin. They usually flatten and vanish with a single treatment and require no aftercare
- Follow the advice for blisters should one form
Skin Tags
- These will turn darker from the base and will dry up and fall off over 1 to 6 weeks as the skin heals beneath them
- Larger tags may need a second treatment
- If the tag becomes sore or rubs against clothing it may be covered with a dressing or plaster
Pigmentation
The area will often become red and raised and will go down after a few hours. The
pigment will then become darker and a dry crust will form
- When the crust falls away, the new skin beneath is pink and shiny, this is NOT scarring. It is important at this stage that you use sun block minimum factor 50 to prevent the pigmentation returning
Cherry Angioma
- The area will often become red and raised and will go down after a few hours
- The lesion will shrink away and slowly vanish over 2 to 6 weeks
Warts and Verrucae
- As these are viral infections they may need more than one treatment to destroy the infected cells
- The second treatment can be completed 4 weeks after the first
- If you see black spots in the wart or verruca then it is dying away and should disappear over the next few weeks
- There is no specific aftercare
- Follow the advice for blisters should one form
