What is a CryoPen treatment?

CryoPen treatment is a medical procedure that destroys skin imperfections by freezing and killing the skin cells. It uses a specialized device called the CryoPen to infuse nitrous oxide into the blemish. As a result, its underlying tissue shatters and destroys.

This procedure provides a lasting benefit by destroying the cells’ reproductive DNA, preventing the eliminated imperfections from returning.

The CryoPen treatment must be done accurately to ensure no healthy part of your skin is affected. This is why our skincare therapists apply an accurate level of precision to prevent healthy skin areas from becoming affected.

Our CryoPen treatment combats skin abnormalities, including age spots, skin tag removal, cherry angioma removal, wart removal, it is also considered as best verruca treatment, and milia removal and other skin imperfections. If you have any of these skin concerns, contact us at the Continental Skin Clinic for effective CryoPen treatment.

This treatment can be combined with the following procedures:

– Advanced Facials

– IPL

– Chemical Peels

– Laser Toning

– Infini RF Microneedling

– Anti Wrinkle Injections

– Dermal Fillers

The combination of treatments can be discussed at your consultation following with the bespoke treatment plan.

Before

There are various pre-treatment safety precautions to take before CryoPen therapy. These practices may vary based on your needs, skin type, and target area. So, our therapists will provide tailored instructions during your consultation session.

However, generally, we recommend refraining from retinoids, physical exfoliants, or exfoliating acids two days before treatment. Also, refrain from applying fake or gradual tan about two weeks before treatment.

Lastly, do not have any laser procedures, including hair removal or skin rejuvenation treatments a week before your CryoPen session. Following these practices will keep you adequately prepared for CryoPen.

After

Straight after the procedure the treated area will feel itchy, and there will be some erythema on and around the area. Due to this, we recommended not touching the treated area, avoiding swimming, sunbathing, the use of sauna, or steaming at least 48 hours after your session, and avoiding applying makeup or skincare products to treatment areas.

The treatment spot may appear darker. You may also experience redness and swelling. However, these symptoms are temporary and disappear after some time. We suggest following your specialists’ instructions for the best results after treatment.

How does CryoPen work?

During your CryoPen treatment, our professionals keep the CryoPen close to target area/s, at this point the area will feel extremely cold, the sensation may last for 1-30 seconds based on the type and size of the imperfection to be treated.

The CryoPen freezes quickly, although multiple passes may be needed. The nitrous oxide eliminates the tissue by freezing the intracellular fluid. This destroys the membrane of the cell and consequently the damaged cell is passed through the lymphatic system as waste. The CryoPen procedure destroys unwanted cells with extreme cold temperatures, permanently eliminating skin imperfections.

Precise freezing to the millimetre gives the ability to control how deep the nitrous oxide penetrates and ensures healthy skin cells are avoided.

What can CryoPen treat?

Our CryoPen is an excellent treatment for removing many skin conditions from the surface of the skin, including age spots, skin tag removal, cherry angioma removal, wart removal, it is also considered as best verruca treatment, and milia removal , and other skin blemishes.

The CryoPen enables accurate precision, ensuring that only target areas are treated. As a result, it’s safe and effective. Its precision makes it easy to target different areas of your body and imperfections of various sizes, from 1mm to 10mm.

If mole removal is something you are interested in, we would suggest speaking to your GP about procedures to remove these.

How long does it take for CryoPen to work?

It takes about one to six weeks, based on the treatment area and size. The affected area will have a darker colour than your original skin tone and will become extremely dry and crusty. After about ten days, the skin regenerates, and affected parts fall off, eliminating the imperfections.

How many CryoPen treatments can I do?

The number of treatments you undergo is based on the size and severity of the imperfection.

Typically, CryoPen cryotherapy procedure is only needed once. We will monitor your progress four and six weeks post-procedure. And our specialists will examine if the imperfections have entirely disappeared and make appropriate recommendations after.

How long does CryoPen take to heal?

The healing process of your CryoPen procedure differs depending on the size of your treatment area and the type of imperfection treated. However, the treatment takes about one to six weeks to heal. The imperfection will scab and begin to fall off after the treatment.

Does CryoPen hurt?

You may feel some slight discomfort during your CryoPen procedure.

You will experience some stinging from the nitrous oxide as it blasts the cold onto the area treated. Redness, blistering, and swelling are general symptoms after a CryoPen procedure.

However, these discomforts are temporary and only last while being treated. After the treatment, you can expect the area to feel itchy and irritated, which will subside after 1-2 days.
