Cryotherapy

Service Description

£70 per lesion ( package for multiple skin lesions can be discussed at consultation) What is cryotherapy? Cryotherapy is a procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy tissue. The process is called cryo-necrosis, tissue destruction by freezing. What type of skin conditions can be treated using the CryoPen®? Skin, skin tags, age spots, warts, actinic keratosis, verruca’s, Milia, cherry angiomas and other benign skin imperfections. How is cryosurgery better than other methods of removing skin lesions? Cryotherapy requires no anaesthesia and has less scarring than other techniques of skin removal with minimal post-op care. Treatment goes fast and can be integrated into daily practice. Will there be any scarring after CryoPen® treatments? This does not normally occur. Darkening or lightening of the skin may occur temporarily. Both generally last for a few months. The pigment change is more common in darker skin types.
