The CryoPen uses a state-of-the-art, linear compression cooling technology that does not require handling of dangerous cryogenic gases and liquids, such as with existing, cryosurgical technologies of the 1970s. In addition to not being exposed to potentially dangerous gases or liquids, the pen-point precision and consistent freeze temperature of the CryoPen reduces the risks of serious burns.
CryoPen® is a cryotherapy treatment that uses nitrous oxide gas under high pressure to freeze and destroy benign skin lesions. The CryoPen® is a pen-like device that allows for precise application of the gas at minus-127 degrees Celsius. CryoPen® treatment is fast, effective, and painless.
Cryosurgery is the controlled destruction of unwanted tissue by the precise application of extreme
cold. The process is called cryo-necrosis, tissue destruction by freezing. Rapid freezing to 27 °C and
more will produce cryonecrosis in all benign human tissues and ice crystals will form. The ice crystals
break the cell membrane, destroy the cells organelles and protein matrixes. Water then rushes into
the surrounding area causing blistering and disruption of the local blood supply
Cryosurgery is quicker than other treatments and patients can be in and out in seconds. It requires no anaesthesia and has minimal scaring. There are no limitations on activity except to protect the area from damage or abrasion, they can work, bath, swim, immediately after the treatment. There’s no cut, no bleeding, no sutures and no risk of infection.
Most unwanted benign skin lesions can be removed such as verrucae, skin tags, solar lentigo, pigmented spots, actinic keratoses, seborrheic keratoses, hemangioma, molluscum contagiosum, condyloma, plantar warts, and more.
Care should be taken when treating areas with very thin skin and areas where the colour is cosmetically important such as face, ears, scrotum and lateral surface of fingers.
