CryoPen

CryoPen uses advanced freezing innovation that is fast, effective and safe for removal of benign skin lesions on face and body

About CryoPen

CryoPen is an innovative, high-performance cryosurgery tool to safely remove unsightly skin tags, warts, age spots and other benign skin lesions.

The CryoPen allows professionals to work with millimetre precision for removing all benign skin lesions with no more collateral damage to healthy tissue. 

How it Works

A typical freeze on viral infections may last from 5 to 10 seconds for a small flat wart, and up to 45 seconds for a full thickness plantar wart. For general purposes, most lesions take about 2 to 30 seconds.

 
No anaesthesia is needed as the extreme cold causes anaesthesia which allows the treatment to be tolerable.

The treated area usually forms a scab and heals within 2–6 weeks, depending on the depth of the lesion.

Temporary side effects include redness, itching, swelling, and blistering. Permanent hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin) can occur, especially in darker skin tones.

Yes. However, skin types and location should be considered carefully prior treatment.

Melanocytes are the most sensitive to cold injury. Therefore, they are the most easily damaged with
cryosurgery. Dark skinned patients should consider the risk of permanent loss of pigment.

Occasionally, a blister might form and persist for op to 5 days. After the lesion scabs over, healing depends on how deep the wound is. Typically, healing takes between 2 – 6 weeks, depending on the length of freeze and location.
