CRYOPEN
CryoPen is a state of the art freezing technique that uses extreme cold to remove unwanted benign lesions on the skins surface. CryoPen treatment is quick with no anaesthetic required. Using pinpoint accuracy to remove skin lesions effectively, it is delivered to the treatment area and not to the healthy surrounding tissue.
Cryopen is CE and FDA registered.

Preparation and Aftercare Guide
Verruca and Warts Preparation
- A few days before the appointment soak the lesion in a bowl of warm soapy water then with a pumice stone gently scrub the lesion until the skin becomes rough. Do not scrub so hard that you make the area sore and discontinue these steps if bleeding occurs.
- As Verrucas and Warts are highly contagious please cover them / wear socks to the appointment.
- Avoid make up and deodorant on treated areas for as long as you can on the day of treatment.
- Over the next 24 hours the area may go darker and develop a crust on the surface. Do not pick this off. It will naturally fall away and you will see new skin which is a shiny pink colour. It will re-pigment over several weeks but could take several months.
- The histamine in the area which was treated will create an itchy sensation usually up to sixty minutes, do not worry this is perfectly normal.
- Do not pick the treated area
- If a scab is knocked off accidentally it will take longer to heal.
- Use sunblock factor 50 on any pigmentation removal until it has re-pigmented. This may take several months.
- If the scab has not fallen off after four weeks please wait until it has done so before the next treatment.
- Permanent alopecia can occur in a treated area which is usually covered with hair.
- Treatments that do not heal after six weeks should be reviewed by your doctor or dermatologist. Please contact Claire by text to let her know.
- Blisters can happen with any cryopen treatment. If a blister appears don’t pop it. It will go down on its own. If it pops, weeping may occur, use Savlon or Germolene cream twice a day. A plaster can be used to cover the area.
- Skin Tags may change colour and drop off over a period of one to six weeks. If the treatment area becomes tender you can use Savlon or Germolene twice a day. A plaster can be used to cover the area to stop the treated area being irritated by clothing rubbing on it.
- Pigmentation and Cherry Angiomas: The treatment area may raise and look like a sting. This is perfectly normal and will subside.
