CryoPen
Treatment: Per Skin Lesion From £50
CryoPen™ is an advanced cryotherapy innovation that is a fast, effective, safe, and new solution for removal of skin imperfections. Procedures typically last from 5 to 30 seconds. The CryoPen emits a fine jet of nitrous oxide under high pressure, which allows the clinician to work with millimetre precision. This destroys the tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals which rupture the membrane, thereby destroying the cell. That means there will be no collateral damage to healthy tissue. It’s so incredibly accurate and practical.
CryoPen™ offers the ideal treatment for:
- Skin tags
- Warts
- Verrucae
- Pigmentation
- Milia
- Cherry Angioma
- Age Spots
- Seborrhoeic Keratosis
Skin tags
A Skin Tag is a small flap of tissue that hangs off the skin by a connecting stalk. Skin tags are not dangerous and can be removed safely. They appear most often in women, especially with weight gain and in elderly people. Irritation can occur if the skin tag frequency rubs against clothing or jewellery.
Age or sunspots and pigmented areas
For the removal of any pigmented areas, only one treatment is typically required using the CryoPen™. Age/sunspots are caused by an excess production of melanin due to skin aging and sun exposure or other forms of ultraviolet light exposure, such as tanning beds. They are most likely to develop on the areas of your skin that receive the most sun exposure, including the face, back of hands, chest, shoulders, and forearms.
Milia
Small, raised, pearly-white or yellowish bumps on the skin. They are most often seen on the skin around the cheeks, nose, eyes and eyelids, forehead, and chest but they can occur anywhere on the body.
Seborrhoeic Keratosis
A common skin disorder that is characterized by benign, painless, often wart-like skin lesions that appears to be “stuck” on the skin. The rough, raised spots are usually yellow or brown.
Warts and Verruca’s
Warts are highly contagious and occur when a virus comes in contact with the skin and causes infection. Verruca’s take on the appearance of warts but are flatter because they tend to be found on the feet, where the dermis is thicker.
The number of cryosurgery treatments required can vary based on the depth and severity of the lesion. For most superficial lesions, a single treatment is usually sufficient to achieve the desired results. However, more persistent, or deeper lesions may necessitate multiple, and potentially more aggressive, treatments to see significant improvement.
Here’s a general guideline:
Superficial Lesions: Typically, one treatment is enough.
Moderate Lesions: Might require 2-3 treatments.
Deeper Lesions: Could need several aggressive treatments over time.
