Cryotherapy or Cryo Surgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used not freeze and destroy benign skin lesions.
It uses liquified nitrous oxide to destroy the tissue by freezing the cell fluid which in turn forms ice shard 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 anesthesia 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).
The CryoPen® is a unique pen like device allowing for more targeted treatments, meaning no healthy tissue will be affected during treatments.
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.
After the first freezing cycle. the tissue will be allowed to thaw for about 30 seconds.
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.
