CryoPen Cryoptherapy is a sophisticated skincare treatment that uses liquid nitrous oxide to treat superficial and minor skin issues. By targeting a fine spray through the CryoPen’s tip, the liquid nitrogen, which can reach -127 degrees, targets the area to be treated very precisely and quickly, and because it is so precise, it doesn’t affect any of the surrounding area.
In fact, it’s so accurate that it can be used to target skin issues on the face, including around the eyes.
CryoPen Cryptherapy is a popular, minimally invasive treatment for skin tags, age spots, sun damage, warts, skin lesions and pigmentation, milia, cherry angioma, and viral verrucae, with the distinct bonus that each treatment is really quick. In fact, a typical freeze may last for somewhere between 2 to 30 seconds.
It may take a few treatments to get the final required results if the area to be treated is large but all that happens in the meantime is that the area might darken or develop a small scab that soon drops off revealing the treated skin below.
Unless you’re being treated for a wart or a verruca, there’s absolutely no preparation necessary which makes Cryopen Cryptherapy convenient and easy to fit into a busy day.
During and after treatment there may be some slight, localised discomfort and the point at which the client begins to feel it, is probably the point at which to stop. There may be a little stinging sensation, or the area may feel tender and look a little sore, but aloe vera gel is an ideal soother for a day or two.
Occasionally, a small blister might form which could last for a few days, but then it scabs over. When the scab falls off the newly treated skin is revealed and importantly, while it’s healing, your activities aren’t limited in any way – although it is recommended that you protect the area against actual rubbing or damage.
CryoPen Cryotherapy is easy, targeted, accurate, safe, minimally uncomfortable and effective. If you decide to try it, always choose a professional clinic with fully trained, skilled laser therapists. Make sure that they provide a professional consultation prior to treatment to discuss your needs, lifestyle and expectations so that a personalised programme of treatments can be tailored to you.
