WHAT IS CRYOPEN?

CryoPen is a state-of-the-art, handheld device that harnesses the power of extreme cold to treat a wide array of skin conditions. With its pinpoint precision and minimal discomfort, CryoPen has become the preferred choice for patients who have various types of skin blemishes and want them removed with little fuss.

HOW DOES LEEDS CRYOTHERAPY WORK?

CryoPen uses cryotherapy, a specialist but tried and tested technique that employs extreme cold to destroy abnormal or damaged tissue. The device emits a fine, controlled jet of liquid nitrogen to freeze the targeted area, causing the unwanted cells to break down and eventually be removed by the body's natural healing process.

THE CRYOPEN PROCEDURE

Initial Consultation

Before undergoing a CryoPen treatment, you'll have a consultation with a qualified practitioner who will assess your skin condition and determine whether CryoPen is the right treatment for you. The majority of lesions we see are.

Treatment

The actual treatment process with CryoPen is quick and relatively painless. Here's what to expect:


The practitioner will cleanse the treatment area and a protective gel may be applied to the surrounding skin. The CryoPen device will be applied to the targeted lesion, emitting a controlled jet of liquid nitrogen in the exact place where it's needed.

The treatment may last from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the size and type of the lesion. Following the application the frozen lesion will gradually thaw, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the dead cells.


Post-Treatment

After the CryoPen treatment, follow your practitioner's post-treatment care instructions, which may include:


  • Keeping the treated area clean and dry
  • Avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen
  • Refraining from picking or scratching the treatment area

WHAT TO EXPECT...

The outcome of CryoPen treatments can vary depending on the type and size of the lesion being treated. In most cases, the treated area will form a scab or crust, which will fall off within a week or two, revealing healthy, clear skin underneath. Some conditions may require multiple treatments for optimal results.

SAFETY AND SIDE EFFECTS OF CRYOPEN TREATMENTS

CryoPen is a safe and effective treatment option for various skin imperfections. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential side effects, which are generally mild and temporary:
  • Redness and swelling at the treatment site
  • Pain or discomfort during the treatment
  • Blistering or crusting in the treated area
  • Changes in skin colour (either lighter or darker)
It is essential to follow your practitioner's post-treatment care instructions to minimise potential side effects and ensure optimal results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • WHO SHOULD USE CRYOTHERAPY?

    Leeds Cryotherapy is ideal for individuals seeking a safe, non-invasive treatment to remove benign skin blemishes such as warts, skin tags, and age spots. It benefits those who prefer a quick procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime. However, individuals with certain skin conditions, poor circulation, or cold sensitivity should consult a practitioner before treatment.

  • IS CRYOPEN TREATMENT PAINFUL?

    Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment, often describing it as a mild stinging or cold sensation. The procedure is quick, and any discomfort subsides almost immediately.

  • WHEN IS CRYOTHERAPY RECOMMENDED?

    Cryotherapy is recommended when patients have benign skin imperfections that they wish to remove for cosmetic or comfort reasons. It is often suggested when other treatments, such as topical creams, have been ineffective. It is also an excellent option for those seeking a fast, targeted procedure without surgery or extended recovery time.

  • WHAT ARE THREE INDICATIONS FOR CRYOTHERAPY?

    Cryotherapy is commonly used for:


    • Skin lesion removal – Effective for treating warts, skin tags, and age spots.
    • Cosmetic enhancement – Helps improve skin appearance by removing unwanted blemishes.
    • Minimising discomfort—This product can be used to eliminate raised or irritated skin growths that cause discomfort or snag on clothing.

  • CAN CRYOPEN BE USED ON SENSITIVE AREAS?

    Yes, CryoPen can safely be used on most body areas, including the face, hands, and even delicate areas around the eyes. The device's precision ensures that only the targeted lesion is treated, minimising any impact on the surrounding skin.

  • HOW MANY CRYOPEN SESSIONS ARE NEEDED FOR RESULTS?

    Often, a single CryoPen session is enough to remove a skin lesion. However, some conditions, such as more prominent warts or deeply rooted blemishes, may require additional treatments for complete removal. Your practitioner will assess your condition and recommend the best course of action.

  • CAN CRYOPEN BE USED FOR ANTI-AGEING PURPOSES?

    While CryoPen is primarily used for skin lesion removal, it can also benefit cosmetic treatments by eliminating age spots and improving overall skin clarity. It does not, however, directly target wrinkles or fine lines.

  • IS CRYOPEN SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?

    CryoPen is generally safe for all skin types, but individuals with darker skin tones should be aware of the possibility of pigmentation changes in the treated area. A consultation is recommended to discuss potential risks based on your skin type.

  • WHAT SHOULD I AVOID AFTER CRYOPEN TREATMENT?

    To ensure proper healing, avoid picking at the treated area, excessive sun exposure, and applying harsh skincare products until the skin has fully healed. Your practitioner will provide tailored aftercare advice to help you achieve the best results.
