Cryopen Imperfection Removal
Cryotherapy is the use of extreme cold produced by liquid nitrous oxide for the fast, effective and safe solution for the controlled destruction of unwanted skin imperfections.
Cryotherapy is a FDA and E registered advanced cryotherapy innovation. It is a pen-like instrument which delivers a fine pinpoint spray of liquid nitrous oxide at a constant temperature of minus-127 degrees under high pressure which allows the therapist to work with millimetre
precision. This means the nitrous oxide is delivered directly to the treated area and not to the healthy surrounding tissue. Cryopen is the ideal treatment for;
Age spots
Freckles and sun damage
Milia
Sebhorroeic warts
Cherry angioma
Skin tags & lots more!!
How are lesions destroyed during cryotherapy?
The applicator is held as close as possible to the skin imperfection and moved quickly towards and away from it. This could be from
1-30 seconds, depending on the size and depth of the lesion. The Cryopen freezes at a rate of approximately 1mm per 5 seconds.
The nitrous oxide destroys the tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid in a matter of seconds, forming ice shards and crystals which rupture the membrane, thereby destroying the cell. That means there will be no collateral damage to healthy tissue. It’s so incredibly accurate and practical.
DOES IT HURT?
There will be a mild sensation similar to a stinging nettle on the skin when the nitrous oxide reaches the bottom of the area. There might be a little residual stinging for a few minutes after treatment and the area can be slightly itchy for about 10 minutes after the procedure. Most patients get an anaesthetic effect from the extreme freezing temperatures.
The treatment is very quick, usually taking a few minutes
Sterile procedure – No incision, no bleeding, no risk of infection
There is virtually no down time
