Cryotherapy

The term 'cryotherapy' literally means 'treatment using low temperature' and refers to the removal of surface skin lesions by freezing them.

Treating skin lesions with Freezpen ensures safe, quick and painless freezing treatment for the effective removal of a large range of medical and cosmetic skin lesions. The process is very safe and accurate and has the benefits of no anaesthesia, injections or scarring.

This method of skin lesion removal can be used for any superficial skin lesion that involves mainly the epidermis. This includes benign lesions such as Syringomas, skin tags, benign moles, age spots and benign lesions such as seborrheic keratoses.

This medical non-surgical treatment involves the removal of skin lesions by using nitrous oxide, the skin temperature is lowered for 5-15 seconds, depending on the thickness of the lesion, this can be repeated depending on the skin type and nature of the lesion.

Following treatment the skin may become slightly itchy, red and swollen, this is normal. The treated area may become darker in the few days that follow and will begin to crust. This will eventually flake away, taking anything between 5-14 days. The healing process differs from client to client and is largely dependent on the skin type and the lesion that has been treated.
