About CryoPen

Freeze it away — safely and precisely

CryoPen delivers a precise, controlled jet of nitrous oxide directly onto the skin lesion — freezing the tissue to destroy the unwanted cells at the root. The treatment takes seconds per lesion and is performed without needles, cutting or anaesthesia. Most clients describe a brief stinging sensation during the freeze, which passes immediately afterwards.

Because the nitrous oxide is delivered so precisely, the treatment affects only the target area — surrounding healthy skin remains completely undamaged. This makes CryoPen particularly effective for lesions on delicate areas such as the face, neck and around the eyes, where surgical approaches carry more risk.

After treatment, the area may be slightly red and a small blister may form over the next 24–48 hours — this is a normal part of the healing process. The treated lesion gradually darkens, dries and falls away over 1–6 weeks depending on the size and type of lesion. A single treatment is often sufficient, though some lesions may require more than one session.

Conditions treated

What CryoPen can remove

CryoPen is effective for a wide range of common benign skin lesions. If you're unsure whether your condition is suitable, please get in touch and we'll advise.

🏷️
Skin Tags
Soft, benign growths that hang from the skin — common on the neck, underarms, eyelids and groin. Often treated in a single session.
🟫
Age Spots & Sun Spots
Flat, pigmented patches caused by sun exposure — commonly found on the face, hands and shoulders.
🔵
Warts
Viral skin growths caused by HPV — including common warts on hands and fingers. May require more than one session for stubborn warts.
⬇️
Verrucas
Plantar warts on the sole of the foot — often painful. CryoPen reaches the root without the need for painful surgical removal.
Milia
Small white keratin-filled cysts that sit just under the skin — common around the eyes and cheeks. Quickly and cleanly resolved.
🟤
Seborrhoeic Keratoses
Benign, rough-textured growths that appear with age — often waxy or wart-like in appearance. Effectively removed with CryoPen.
🔴
Cherry Angiomas
Small, benign red blood vessel growths on the skin surface — easily treated and commonly resolved in a single session.
Dermatofibromas
Firm, small benign nodules commonly found on the legs — often harmless but cosmetically unwanted.

Step by step

What happens at your appointment

01
Consultation
The lesion is assessed to confirm it is benign and suitable for CryoPen treatment. If there is any uncertainty, we will advise you to see your GP first.
02
Treatment
The CryoPen applicator is held over the lesion and a precise jet of nitrous oxide freezes the tissue in seconds. Most lesions take 5–30 seconds to treat.
03
Aftercare advice
Full aftercare instructions provided. The area may redden or blister slightly over 24–48 hours — this is normal and expected as the tissue heals.
04
Natural healing
The treated lesion darkens, dries and falls away naturally over 1–6 weeks. No picking — the area heals cleanly without intervention.
Common questions

Everything you need to know

Most clients describe a brief stinging or burning sensation during the freeze — similar to a cold spray — which passes within seconds of the treatment ending. The sensation is well-tolerated by most people. Smaller lesions are treated very quickly, so discomfort is minimal.
Many lesions — particularly skin tags, milia and cherry angiomas — are resolved in a single session. Larger or more stubborn lesions such as warts, verrucas or seborrhoeic keratoses may require two or more treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. We'll advise at your consultation how many sessions are likely to be needed for your specific lesion.
CryoPen is designed to minimise scarring. Because the treatment is so precise, it targets only the lesion without damaging surrounding tissue. The area heals cleanly in most cases — particularly for smaller lesions. Larger lesions may leave a temporary mark that fades over time. We'll always discuss expected outcomes at your consultation.
Yes — multiple lesions can often be treated in a single appointment, depending on their size and number. Please mention the number of lesions when booking so we can allow sufficient time. Larger or more complex lesions will require their own appointment slot.
CryoPen is only suitable for benign (non-cancerous) skin lesions. If there is any uncertainty about whether a lesion is benign, we will ask you to obtain GP clearance before proceeding. CryoPen is not suitable for lesions that have changed shape or colour rapidly, bled unexpectedly, or that have any suspicious characteristics. Your safety always comes first.
Keep the treated area clean and dry. Do not pick at the treated area or any blistering that forms — this can interrupt healing and increase the risk of scarring. Apply SPF 30+ to any treated areas on the face once healed. Full aftercare instructions are provided at your appointment.
