Initial Consultation
Before undergoing a CryoPen treatment, you'll have a consultation with a qualified practitioner who will assess your skin condition and determine whether CryoPen is the right treatment for you. The majority of lesions we see are.
Treatment
The actual treatment process with CryoPen is quick and relatively painless. Here's what to expect:
The practitioner will cleanse the treatment area and a protective gel may be applied to the surrounding skin. The CryoPen device will be applied to the targeted lesion, emitting a controlled jet of liquid nitrogen in the exact place where it's needed.
The treatment may last from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the size and type of the lesion. Following the application the frozen lesion will gradually thaw, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the dead cells.
Post-Treatment
After the CryoPen treatment, follow your practitioner's post-treatment care instructions, which may include:
Feature | Details |

Precision | CryoPen's fine jet allows for pinpoint accuracy, reducing the risk of damaging surrounding healthy tissue. |
Comfort | The CryoPen treatment is virtually painless, with most patients reporting only a mild sensation of cold. |

Leeds Cryotherapy is ideal for individuals seeking a safe, non-invasive treatment to remove benign skin blemishes such as warts, skin tags, and age spots. It benefits those who prefer a quick procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime. However, individuals with certain skin conditions, poor circulation, or cold sensitivity should consult a practitioner before treatment.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment, often describing it as a mild stinging or cold sensation. The procedure is quick, and any discomfort subsides almost immediately.
Cryotherapy is recommended when patients have benign skin imperfections that they wish to remove for cosmetic or comfort reasons. It is often suggested when other treatments, such as topical creams, have been ineffective. It is also an excellent option for those seeking a fast, targeted procedure without surgery or extended recovery time.
Cryotherapy is commonly used for:
Yes, CryoPen can safely be used on most body areas, including the face, hands, and even delicate areas around the eyes. The device's precision ensures that only the targeted lesion is treated, minimising any impact on the surrounding skin.
Often, a single CryoPen session is enough to remove a skin lesion. However, some conditions, such as more prominent warts or deeply rooted blemishes, may require additional treatments for complete removal. Your practitioner will assess your condition and recommend the best course of action.
While CryoPen is primarily used for skin lesion removal, it can also benefit cosmetic treatments by eliminating age spots and improving overall skin clarity. It does not, however, directly target wrinkles or fine lines.
CryoPen is generally safe for all skin types, but individuals with darker skin tones should be aware of the possibility of pigmentation changes in the treated area. A consultation is recommended to discuss potential risks based on your skin type.
To ensure proper healing, avoid picking at the treated area, excessive sun exposure, and applying harsh skincare products until the skin has fully healed. Your practitioner will provide tailored aftercare advice to help you achieve the best results.
