The CryoPen: Cryotherapy, Refined

Not every skin concern needs surgery — and that’s where cryotherapy comes in.

This minimally invasive treatment uses extreme cold to remove unwanted or abnormal skin growths — no cutting, no stitches, and no downtime. With the precision of the CryoPen, cryotherapy becomes a clean and targeted solution for treating common skin concerns quickly and effectively.

How CryoPen Works

CryoPen delivers a focused stream of nitrous oxide gas through a narrow applicator tip. The intense cold freezes the lesion at its core, causing the cells to break down.Over the following days to weeks, the treated tissue naturally flakes off as the skin regenerates underneath. Because of its precision, this treatment is especially useful in areas like the face, neck, chest, and eyelids — where cosmetic outcome and healing time matter most.

What Types Of Lesions Can Be Treated?

Cryotherapy is most effective for surface-level, benign (noncancerous) lesions such as:

  • Skin tags (on the neck, underarms, or eyelids)

  • Age spots or sun spots

  • Seborrheic keratoses

  • Cherry angiomas

Some lesions may require more than one session depending on their size or depth.

What To Expect During Treatment

Most treatments take under a minute per lesion. You may feel a brief cold, tingling, or stinging sensation — similar to holding an ice cube to the skin — but the discomfort is minimal and numbing is rarely necessary. Following treatment, the area may appear red or white and may develop a small blister or scab within 1–2 days. This is a normal part of the healing process.

Healing Timeline

  • 24–48 hours: blister or crust forms

  • 1–2 weeks: treated lesion flakes off

Temporary changes: some redness or pigment shifts may occur, especially in deeper skin tones. It’s best to keep the area clean and avoid sun exposure while healing. Let the skin shed naturally to reduce the risk of scarring.

Benefits of Cryotherapy

  • No cutting or sutures

  • Quick in-office treatment

  • Minimal downtime

  • Low risk of scarring or pigment change

  • Safe and precise for cosmetic areas

Whether it’s one spot or several, cryotherapy with CryoPen offers a straightforward, effective option — especially for areas where accuracy and appearance are important. Take the first step toward clear, healthy skin! We’ll guide you through every step and tailor the treatment to your needs.
