Skin Tag Cryo Pen Removal

Cryopen Blemish Removal.

Is a beauty treatment that utilizes cryotherapy, a technique involving the application of extreme cold to targeted areas of the skin to remove various types of skin imperfections. The Cryopen device emits a controlled stream of nitrous oxide, freezing the targeted blemish, such as warts, skin tags, or benign moles, causing it to die off and eventually fall away.

This non-invasive and precise procedure is known for its quick and effective results, often requiring minimal downtime. Cryopen Blemish Removal is popular for its ability to address specific skin concerns with precision, making it a sought-after option for those seeking cosmetic enhancements or dermatological treatments.

Cryotherapy is the controlled exposure of living tissues to cold temperatures, usually above freezing point, to induce physiological changes but with no intention to destroy the tissue. To create the severe cold temperatures, a substance like liquid nitrogen or argon gas is used. The heat transfer between the cryogen and tissue causes tissue damage, vascular stasis and inflammatory response. The tissue is destroyed by freezing the inter-cellular fluid, forming ice crystals which break the cell membrane, thereby destroying the targeted tissue; allowing healthy tissue to remain untouched. The achieved tissue temperature is the key factor in triggering tissue damage.

The cryopen is a pen-like instrument that delivers a fine pinpoint spray of liquid nitrous oxide at a constant temperature of -127°C on average. The treatment removes skin conditions like warts, skin tags and dark spots with little pain and a quick recovery. The results are permanent however depending on the lesion it may take more than one application to remove.

Liquid nitrogen cryospray pens: Liquid nitrogen comes into contact with the skin, or rapid nitrogen evaporation occurs due to heat transfer. Cryospray and cryoprobe of liquid nitrogen allow achieving a rapid cooling rate of tissues (>100°C/min) because they allow for achieving high-temperature rates and because it is an active cooling technique.

Closed devices: A cryoprobe/cryopen containing nitrous oxide operated based on the Joule – Thomson principle; namely, the rapid expansion of the nitrous oxide occurs in closed space, which is an adiabatic process, and subsequently, a quick drop of temperature of gas occurs. The a fore mentioned technique allows achieving only moderate cooling rates.

Cryopen Blemish Removal is favoured for its precision, minimal discomfort, and quick recovery compared to traditional surgical methods. It is commonly used for removing various skin irregularities such as warts, skin tags, age spots, and benign moles. However, it’s essential to note that the effectiveness of the treatment can vary depending on the type and size of the blemish being treated. Additionally, multiple sessions may be required for certain conditions.

Cryopen Blemish Removal offers several benefits, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a non-invasive and effective solution for various skin imperfections. Some of the key benefits include:

Precision: Cryopen allows for precise targeting of specific blemishes without affecting the surrounding healthy skin. This precision is particularly valuable when treating small or delicate areas.

Non-Invasive: Unlike traditional surgical methods, Cryopen is a non-invasive procedure that doesn’t require incisions or sutures. This can result in minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time.

Quick Treatment: The procedure is typically quick, with sessions lasting only a few minutes. This makes Cryopen Blemish Removal a convenient option for individuals with busy schedules.

Minimal Discomfort: While there may be a brief sensation of cold or mild discomfort during the procedure, Cryopen generally causes less pain compared to traditional surgical methods. Local anaesthesia is usually not required.

Versatility: Cryopen can be used to remove a variety of skin imperfections, including warts, skin tags, age spots, and benign moles. Its versatility makes it suitable for addressing different types of blemishes.

Little to No Downtime: Patients can typically resume their regular activities immediately after the treatment. There is usually little to no downtime, and the recovery process is generally well-tolerated.

Safe and Controlled Application: The Cryopen device allows practitioners to have precise control over the application of cryotherapy, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Minimal Scarring: As the treated area heals, Cryopen Blemish Removal tends to result in minimal scarring, contributing to a more aesthetically pleasing outcome compared to some surgical methods.

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of Cryopen Blemish Removal may vary depending on the type and size of the blemish, and multiple sessions may be required for certain conditions.

Many different superficial skin lesions can be treated with the Cryopen including viral warts, skin tags, age/sunspot, milia, cherry angioma, verruca’s, dark spots, seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, and other benign lesions.

It is not recommended to treat port wine stains, strawberry birthmarks, melasma or chloasma, leukoderma/vitiligo, solar lentignes, freckles, xanthelasma and moles. It is possible to treat several areas in a single session. It is essential that a correct diagnosis is made before treatment as we are only able to treat benign lesions. 

Ultimately, the suitability of a client for Cryopen Blemish Removal is best determined through a personalized consultation. This ensures that the treatment is tailored to the individual’s skin condition, health status, and aesthetic goals, maximizing the chances of a safe and effective outcome.
