Cryotherapy (sometimes referred to as Cryosurgery) is a safe and highly effective method of freezing and removing benign skin lesions such as skin tags, pigmentation, solar lentigines (sunspots, liver spots etc.), seborrheic keratosis, warts and verrucas.

Cryosurgery is the minimally invasive controlled destruction of unwanted tissue by using the application of extreme cold. Cryosurgery is used to treat different types of lesions on the skin such as skin tags, warts and many more. Rapid freezing to -27°C or more will produce tissue destruction by freezing (cryo-necrosis) in all benign human tissues.

Cryosurgery is the controlled destruction of unwanted tissue by the precise application of extreme cold. The process is called cryo-necrosis, tissue destruction by freezing. Rapid freezing to 27°C and more will produce cryo-necrosis in all benign human tissues and ice crystals will form. The ice crystals break the cell membrane, destroy the cells organelles and protein matrixes. Water then rushes into the surrounding area causing blistering and disruption of the local blood supply .
Cryosurgery is quicker than other treatments and patients can be in and out in seconds. It requires no anaesthesia and has minimal scaring.
There are no limitations on activity except to protect the area from damage or abrasion, you can work, bath, swim, immediately after the treatment.
There’s no cut, no bleeding, no sutures and no risk of infection.
You may experience a momentary slight tingly sensation in the area whilst the treatment is taking place.
At a penetration rate of 1 mm per 5 seconds, the ice used our CryoPen will reach the the lesion (caudal extent) of after a given amount of time - usually a few seconds. It is At this point many clients advice feeling a tingly sensation in the area.
There might also be a little residual stinging for a few moments after treatment which disappears after a few minutes and leaves the area feeling normal again.
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.
*Occasionally, a blister might form and persist for up to 5 days.
Typically, our CryoPen Cryotherapy treatments leave virtually no or very minimal amounts of scarring of any form of lesion removal. This is because our Cryosurgery treatments cause the least damage to the connective tissues.
*Hypopigmented (Lighter) lesions will have a lighter look until they darken over time as the areas tan and get darker over time based on your exposure to the sun.
Most unwanted benign skin lesions can be removed such as Age Spots, Verrucae, Skin tags solar lentigo, pigmented spots and more.
Melanocytes are the most sensitive to cold injury. Therefore, they are the most easily damaged with cryosurgery. Cryosurgery can cause temporary (up to 6 months) changes in skin pigmentation, including darkening or lightening of the skin, this may be more pronounced in dark-skinned patients, but depends on the area and the size of the lesion being removed.
Yes. However care should be taken when treating areas with very thin skin and areas where the colour is cosmetically important such as face, ears, and lateral surface of fingers.
Most lesions will respond to a single treatment. However, some deeper lesions may take several aggressive treatments to get results.
For most lesions, cryosurgery is a permanent removal. Some lesions are harder to remove than others.
There are no limitations on activity - however we do ask that protect the area from damage or abrasion. Swimming and showering are not a problem.
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.
