CryoPen Treatment
ith a fine jet of Nitrous Oxide, the CryoPen removes:
- Skin tags
- Warts
- Age Spots
- Pigmentation
- Verrucas
- Cherry Angiomas
CryoPen is an advanced cryotherapy innovation that is fast, effective, safe and new solution for removal of skin imperfections. Procedures typically last from 5 to 30 seconds, so you can be in and out of the salon quickly.
The CryoPen emits a fine jet of Nitrous Oxide under high pressure, which allows the clinician to work with millimetre precision. This desroys the tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals which rupture the membrance, thereby destroying the cell. That means there will be no collateral damage to healthy tissue. It’s so incredibly accurate and practical.
Cosmetic procedures such as skin tags, Milia, and Cherry Angiomas are no longer being treated by many doctors on the NHS. With the CryoPen, you can now have these treatments in our beauty salon.
How it works
- First Cycle – Freeze
The applicator is held as close as possible to the skin imperfection and moved quickly towards and away from it. This could be from 1-30 seconds depending on the size and depth.
- Thaw
After the first freeze cycle, the tissue is alowed to thaw for about 30 seconds.
- Second Cycle – Freeze
Now the second freeze cycle will begin. The tissue will freeze faster than during the first freezing cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any side effects ?
Cryotherapy is relatively low risk. There are a few side effects that may occur as a result of treatment including:
Pigmentary changes (hypo-pigmentation and hyper-pigmentation) if this happens skin colour normally returns after a few months.
Nerve damage (particularly in the areas where nerves lie close to the surface of the skin, on fingers, wrist, area behind the ear) Reports show that normal sensitivity returns after a few months.
Shards of frozen ice (minor shards of frozen ice may blow out, that will thaw on contact with healthy skin).
Hair follicle damage and permanent alopecia (especially when treating the area on sites with coarse terminal hair). Discuss are concerns you have with your clinician.
Once the results of your HIFU treatment begin to appear they should last for over a year. We recommend scheduling in a yearly touch-up treatment after your initial appointment in order to maintain any positive effects.
How long are the CryoPen Treatments?
The duration of the treatment time will depend on the surface area and the thickness of the tissue being treated. Upon the clinical evaluation of the depth of the area, the clinician will choose an application time from 1 to 30 seconds.
How how much will the treatment cost?
The cost of treatment will depend on the size of the area. Make an appointment with us now to discuss costs and to assess your area.
How safe is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a relatively low-risk procedure. CryoPen delivers N2O directly to the area, and not the healthy surrounding tissue. CryoPen is both CE and FDA registered.
Is the treatment painful?
There will be a pain sensation similar to a stinging nettle on the skin when the Nitrous Oxide reaches the bottom area. There might be a little residual stinging doe a few minutes after treatment. The area will be slightly itchy for about 10 minutes. Occasionally a blister might form and persist for a few hours.
What if I have darker skin?
All skin types may be treated with freeze times adjusted to suit each individual client.
