The benefits of using the CryoPen
It is precise: The CryoPen can be used to treat lesions of all sizes, even those on the face or near the eyes. This is because the device has a small tip that allows for precise application of the cold air blast.
It is effective: The CryoPen has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of skin lesions, including warts, skin tags, age spots, and cherry angiomas. In most cases, the lesion will fall off within a few weeks of treatment.
It is safe: The CryoPen is a safe device, and there are few risks associated with its use. The most common side effect is skin irritation (details below), which usually goes away on its own within a few days.
It is convenient: The CryoPen treatment is a relatively quick and easy procedure. There is no downtime required, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
What happens during the treatment?
The CryoPen procedure involved a process called cryo-necrosis, which uses the process of freezing to destroy unwanted tissue.
Rapid freezing of the part of the skin to 27 °C and more will produce cryonecrosis in human tissues and ice crystals will form. The ice crystals break the cell membrane and destroy the cell’s organelles and protein matrixes. Water then rushes into the surrounding area causing blistering and disruption of the local blood supply.
Does it hurt?
Firstly, the treatment causes no pain but can cause slight temporary discomfort.
Secondly, no anaesthesia is needed as the extreme cold causes anaesthesia which allows the treatment to be tolerable.
What are the risks associated with using the CryoPen?
In the hands of professionals, the CryoPen is a safe device.
It can lead to some skin irritation due to the cold air blast from the CryoPen. This irritation is usually mild and goes away on its own within a few days.
