Cryopen has been in development for 13 years. And is the most cutting-edge and advanced tool. On the market today.
Cryopen is a quick, effective, and safe way to destroy undesirable skin flaws. The Cryopen is an FDA and CE registered cryotherapy treatment breakthrough that uses enhanced cryo treatment. Pen-like, the tool sprays liquid nitrous oxide (N2O) at minus-127 degrees Celsius under high pressure, giving the therapist millimetre accuracy.
As a result, N2O can be delivered directly to the treated area without damaging healthy tissue.
The pen employs linear compression cooling technology that does not necessitate handling hazardous cryogenic gases and liquids.
It has been designed to eliminate the following skin abnormalities:
The type and size of the lesion will determine how long the treatment will last and how many treatments you will need before seeing results.
However, the treatment procedure only takes 2 to 30 seconds for a typical, superficial, benign lesion.
You will likely see results in 1 to 6 weeks after starting treatment. Many lesions can be treated in one session and will not need further care.
In some cases due to the size and type of lesion you may be advised to another treatment to eradicate any leftover signs of the lesion.
Upon reaching the root of the lesion, the nitrous oxide will provide a slight sensation on the skin.
There may be some residual stinging for a few minutes following the process, and the area may be mildly irritating for around 10 minutes.
The intense cold has an anaesthetic effect on most patients.
Is there a difference in the area following cryopen treatment?
The area freezes and becomes white during treatment. Flushing occurs after the white area thaws, and the area turns red and a weal forms.
The weal may turn into a blister within 2-24 hours of being frozen; however, this is quite rare.
A crust develops typically over lesions after 10 to 14 days.
The skin will subsequently mend itself as a result.
After a few weeks, the skin may seem lighter or pink. Leg lesions often take a little longer to heal than other areas of the body.
Larger lesions may develop a second crust, extending the healing time.
You should avoid picking at the crust, as this might cause scarring.
You should dress any areas prone to rubbing or discomfort with a plaster.
Rarely. Hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation are known to come and go in the aftermath of the Cryopen.
It typically takes a few months to see the effects pass.
Individuals with darker skin tones are more likely to develop pigmentary change.
What areas can be treated?
Many types of benign skin growths, including viral warts, seborrhoeic keratosis, and other benign lesions, can be treated using cryotherapy.
However, a correct diagnosis is required before treatment since we will not treat any malignant lesions.
Your GP will tell you if a lesion looks suspected of skin cancer, and you should seek their guidance.
Cryosurgery is a permanent solution for most skin defects.
A shorter freeze time and a repeat procedure may be necessary for more delicate areas, such as the eye area, to get a result with the least amount of damage to the surrounding skin.
Several treatments are required to achieve the desired results when treating a deep lesion.
Is Cryopen treatment safe?
The Cryopen is CE and FDA approved, and the established safety of the treatment is renowned.
The CryoPen has a lower risk of complications than many other treatments and methods.
N2O is given directly to the affected area and does not affect the healthy tissue surrounding it.
What are the side effects?
Inflammation of the skin’s tiny nerve endings can cause numbness or hypersensitivity when exposed to freezing temperatures.
In most cases, these symptoms will subside with time.
The Cryopen treatment is non-invasive and relatively low-risk.
As the skin heals, the region may become darker (hyper-pigmentation) or lighter (hypo-pigmentation).
Darker pigmented skin can take longer to regain its colour.
Our CryoPen procedures are quick, efficient, and relatively risk-free.
However, it may not be appropriate for people with other conditions such as collagen and autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis, individuals previously treated with dermal fillers in the treatment area, and pregnant women.
We will assess any contraindications during your telephone consultation.
Is the treatment suitable for darker complexions?
People with very dark skin may want to avoid cryosurgery as this procedure destroys skin pigment-producing cells, resulting in lighter skin.
Can I have cryopen treatment throughout the summer?
We can perform Cryopen throughout the year; however, an SPF50 must be applied at least 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapplied every 4 hours during the summer months.
CryoPen therapy is a cutting-edge medical procedure that utilizes advanced cryotherapy innovation to remove skin imperfections such as benign lesions, warts, and fine lines. This precise and safe solution offers remarkable benefits for individuals seeking minimal discomfort and effective results. Here’s a closer look at how this treatment works and why it’s become a trusted cosmetic procedure in recent months.
How Does CryoPen Work?
CryoPen therapy leverages the precise application of extreme cold, using a fine jet of nitrous oxide to target unwanted cells on the surface of the skin. The system operates with millimetre precision, ensuring that only the targeted area is treated while the surrounding healthy skin remains unharmed.
The process begins with the application of extreme cold temperatures to the cell membrane of unwanted cells. This causes cell fluid to freeze, forming ice crystals and ice shards within the tissue. These sharp formations disrupt the cell membrane, leading to the controlled destruction of unwanted tissue.
Effective for a variety of skin types, this advanced cryotherapy technique minimizes trauma to underlying tissue, making it an ideal choice for treating imperfections like verrucas and benign skin lesions.
Benefits of CryoPen
CryoPen is known for its precision and safety. The treatment involves minimal discomfort, comparable to the sensation of a stinging nettle, making it a tolerable experience for most patients. Any redness or blistering in the treated area is part of the body’s natural healing process and generally resolves quickly.
Because there’s no need for sutures or invasive surgery, CryoPen therapy results in minimal downtime. Patients can return to their normal routines almost immediately after the procedure.
This makes it a convenient option for wart removal, the reduction of fine lines, or the removal of other skin imperfections.
What to Expect During and After Cryopen
During CryoPen therapy, the targeted area is treated with precision. For some cases, a second treatment may be required to completely remove the imperfection, depending on its size or depth. Over time, the frozen tissue forms a scab, revealing new skin as the healing process concludes.
Why Choose CryoPen?
CryoPen therapy is a versatile and safe solution for addressing a wide range of skin imperfections across various skin colours and types. Whether you’re seeking cosmetic improvements or medical treatment for conditions like verrucas, CryoPen offers an effective and reliable option.
