CryoPen®

Cryopen® may be used to address benign skin concerns such as:

• Skin tags
• Age spots
• Sun spots
• Certain benign keratoses
• Selected superficial lesions (following assessment)

Suitability will always be confirmed during consultation with a CULTSKIN clinician.

Our CryoPen® treatment is clinically proven to permanently remove skin imperfections and abnormalities, including skin tags, freckles, cherry angiomas, warts, benign moles, age spots, verrucae, milia and is even effective in ridding small areas of built-up pigment. Depending on which of these are your lesion of focus at the time of treatment, will determine what to expect and for how long post-treatment, which will be discussed in depth and made clear within your treatment plan with your CULTSKIN® Doctor or Skin Specialist.

For the first 48 hours, the patient should expect redness, erythema, a sensation, an itchiness, swelling, etc. This is all normal, as remember, a medical treatment has been performed freezing the cells to remove the lesion. For this initial period, we strongly advise not touching the treated area, avoiding swimming, sunbathing, steaming, or applying topical active skincare or make-up on the lesion.

Thereafter, the patient may notice the lesion darkening in colour, still a little swollen and for some, scabbing or flaking. Again, all normal and temporary signs of healing. As the body processes the damages cells, the lesion or scab will eventually fall off naturally.

Due to the nature of the treatment, especially the sensitivity surrounding lesions, growths or moles that haven’t been medically certified as benign, a medical consultation is required before going ahead with treatment.

Within any consultation with us at CULTSKIN®, you’ll be provided with a treatment plan, detailing full pricing, ideal distance between each treatment, contraindications and further advice, which will be emailed to the patient too, for ease of reflection before commiting.

Our CryoPen® treatment is clinically proven as a safe and reliable medical treatment, however, once the area has healed for the initial 2-6 weeks, a change of pigment can be common within the skin left post-lesion. Generally, the pigment will return to its natural colour over time, but due to the nature of the treatment, this isn’t always the case, and so has to be considered by the patient before going ahead with the treatment.

During treatment, the tissue is destroyed by freezing the inter-cellular fluid, with formation of ice crystals, which leads to rupture of the cell membrane, destroying the cell. There will be no collateral damage to healthy surrounding tissue.

Also, if taken place on areas where hair grows, the treatment can result in hair follicle damage too.
