Cryosurgery, sometimes referred to as cryotherapy, is a procedure using nitrous oxide to freeze and destroy benign skin lesions such as skin tags, sun spots, freckles, pre-checked moles and other skin growths and imperfections. The lesions inter- cellular fluid is frozen, forming ice crystals, which subsequently destroy the cell.

How safe is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a relatively low-risk procedure. CryoPen delivers N2O directly to the lesion, and not the healthy surrounding tissue. CryoPen is both CE and FDA registered.
Is the treatment painful?
There will be a pain sensation similar to a ballpoint pen being pushed onto the skin when the nitrous oxide reaches the bottom of the lesion. There might be a little residual stinging for a few minutes after treatment. Occasionally, a blister might form and persist for a few hours.
Are there any side effects?
CryoPen Therapy is relatively low risk. There are a few side effects that may occur as a result of treatment, including:
-
Pigmentary changes (hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation)
-
Nerve damage (particularly in areas where nerves lie close to the surface of
the skin, on fingers, wrist, area behind the ear)
-
Minor shards of frozen ice may blow out which will thaw on contact with healthy skin.
-
Hair follicle damage and permanent alopecia (especially when treating lesions on sites with coarse terminal hair).
