Cryotherapy
Fast, effective treatment for unwanted skin lesions
Cryotherapy uses a controlled freezing technique to remove a variety of benign skin lesions.
Treatment is quick, minimally invasive and allows the body to naturally shed the treated tissue over the following days and weeks.
Remove Skin Lesions with Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy or cryosurgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used to freeze and destroy benign skin lesions.
It uses liquefied nitrous oxide to destroy the tissue by freezing the cell fluid which in turn forms ice shards that rupture the cell membrane, in turn destroying the cell and the lesion.
Cryotherapy is beneficial as it is quicker than other treatments and requires no anaesthesia and has minimal scarring. Patients can return to normal activities after their treatment.

CryoPen Therapy is relatively low risk and side effects and complications are usually minimal. However, some side effects may occur as a result of the treatment. These may include:
Headaches: Not uncommon when freezing on the forehead, scalp and temples. Can last for 2 hours.
Pigment Changes: Both hypo (lightening of the skin and hyper (darkening of the skin) pigmentation. Can last a few months or longer.
Nerve Damage: Although rare, damage to nerves is possible especially where the nerves are close to the skin surface (fingers, wrist, behind the ear). Reports suggest that symptoms disappear after several months.
Blisters: These may appear on the treated area but usually disappear after a few hours.
Shards of Ice: The CryoPen delivers a high pressure jet of nitrous oxide. This jet can cause shards of ice to be thrown into the air to a distance of up to 30cm. They will thaw quickly and will not damage healthy skin.
Damage to hair follicles: Hair follicles are easily damaged by cryosurgery and permanent alopecia to the treated area is not uncommon.
