CRYOPEN TREATMENT

What is 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 patients can be in and out in seconds. It requires no
anaesthesia and has minimal scarring. There are no limitations
on activities (except protecting the area from damage or
abrasion) and patients can return to normal activities after
treatment(s).

Treatment Method

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, the treatment could
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 freezing cycle.

CryoPen® Cryotherapy can treat all common benign skin
lesions including age spots, warts, skin tags, verrucas, cherry
angiomas and many more.
