We offer CryoPen treatments in Plymouth. Cryotherapy, or CryroPen, is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used to freeze and destroy benign skin lesions.
It uses liquefied nitrous oxide to freeze and destroy unwanted skin lesions. The freezing process breaks down the affected cells, allowing your body to naturally clear away the tissue. It’s a quick, precise, and minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. This makes it perfect for safely removing skin imperfections.
Cryotherapy is an incredibly efficient treatment, often quick enough to fit into your lunch break. It requires no anaesthesia and leaves minimal scarring. Therefore, you can return to your regular activities after your session- with just a little care to protect the treated area. This makes cryotherapy a convenient, low-hassle option for safely removing any skin imperfections.
First Freeze Cycle
The clinician will hold the applicator as close as possible to the lesion, and move it quickly towards and away from it, depending on the lesion size and depth, this treatment can be 1 to 30 seconds.
Thaw
After the first freezing cycle, the tissue will be allowed to thaw for about 30 seconds.
Second Freeze Cycle
The second freeze cycle will start. The tissue will freeze faster than during the first cycle.
Although removing skin imperfections is not necessary, if you choose to do so, CryroPen is an excellent solution. Cryrotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of skin concerns:
Yes. However, skin types and location should be considered carefully prior treatment.
Generally, little or no discomfort is experienced during the first few seconds when you manage
to avoid treatment of healthy tissue.
At a penetration rate of 1 mm per 5 seconds, the ice will reach the caudal extent of the lesion
after a given amount of time related to the depth of the lesion. From that moment the patient
will experience a pain sensation. This may be the moment to stop treatment. There might be a
little residual stinging for a few minutes after treatment.
Typically, it leaves the least amount of scarring of any form of lesion removal because it causes
the least damage to the connective tissues. Hypopigmented lesions will be noticeable until
they darken.
Occasionally, a blister might form and persist for up to 5 days. After, it scabs over the lesions,
healing depends on how deep the wounds is. Typically, healing will occur from 2-6 weeks,
depending on the length of freeze and location.
