Expert CryoPen Treatment in London
Say goodbye to unwanted skin imperfections with CryoPen—a fast, non-invasive solution for removing skin tags, warts, age spots, and more. Using precision cryotherapy, this advanced treatment freezes targeted lesions in seconds, with minimal discomfort and no need for surgery or stitches. Performed in a medically-led clinic by expert practitioners, CryoPen offers safe, scar-minimising results and rapid recovery for clearer, smoother skin.
What Is CryoPen Treatment?
CryoPen is an advanced form of cryotherapy that facilitates the controlled destruction of benign skin lesions through the direct application of extreme cold. The device delivers highly pressurised liquid nitrous oxide with pinpoint accuracy, allowing for rapid freezing of targeted tissue with minimal impact on the surrounding skin.
The mechanism of action involves the formation of intracellular and extracellular ice crystals, which result in cell membrane rupture and irreversible cellular damage. This leads to the selective destruction of the lesion while preserving adjacent healthy tissue. CryoPen’s precision makes it suitable for use on cosmetically sensitive areas, including the face and periorbital region, with a significantly reduced risk of scarring or pigmentary changes.
This method offers a non-invasive, low-downtime alternative to surgical excision, ideal for patients seeking effective treatment for common skin imperfections in a clinical setting.
What Can CryoPen Treat?
CryoPen is effective for treating a variety of benign skin concerns, including:
Skin tags
Warts
Verrucas
Age spots
Cherry angiomas
Milia
Seborrheic keratoses
Sun spots
Pigmented lesions
Small moles (if confirmed benign)
Cryopen Procedure
Consultation
A medical practitioner will assess the lesion(s) to confirm suitability for CryoPen. Only benign, non-cancerous lesions can be treated.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
We recommend avoiding retinoids, exfoliating acids (including AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs), and physical exfoliants for at least 48 hours prior to your treatment. Please refrain from using fake tans or gradual tanning products for two weeks, and avoid laser or IPL treatments during the same time frame before your appointment.
Application
The treatment area is cleansed and prepped. Anaesthesia is typically not required, though topical numbing can be used for sensitive areas. The CryoPen is applied directly to the lesion, delivering a targeted stream of nitrous oxide to freeze the cells. Treatment typically lasts between 5–30 seconds, depending on lesion size.
Aftercare
The treated area may blister or scab before healing naturally. For 48 to 72 hours after your treatment, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure, heat-based therapies such as sunbeds, saunas, and steam rooms, as well as swimming and hot showers or baths. You’ll receive full aftercare instructions, including advice on protecting the area and avoiding sun exposure during healing.
