What is non-surgical Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used to freeze, destroy, and remove benign skin lesions, skin tags, age spots, warts, and more.
Cryotherapy uses liquefied nitrous oxide to destroy unwanted tissue by freezing to -27 Celsius, the cell fluid which in turn forms ice shards that rupture the cell membrane, in turn, causing effective necrosis to the unwanted and/or damaged tissue. Cyrotherapy is recognised worldwide to treat various delicate skin lesions, skin tags, milia, pigment marks, and warts including treatment for children with warts and verrucae. CryoPen™️ is one of the preferred Cryotherapy devices used, that works with millimeter precision to remove a large variety of benign skin lesions with no collateral damage to healthy tissue.
What is a CryoPen™️ Treatment?
The CryoPen™️ is a unique device that allows for more targeted treatments, meaning no healthy tissue will be affected during the treatment. It works by the precise application of an ultra-cold jet of high-pressure N₂O directly onto the skin lesion. CryoPen™️ gives pinpoint accuracy, it is a safe, portable, easy-to-use device that uses disposable N₂O cartridges to deliver quick, effective treatments. The N₂O destroys the tissue of the skin by freezing the intercellular fluid, it does not destroy healthy tissue as targets the area to be treated only.
