Skin Tag Removal with Cryopen

If you're dealing with bothersome skin tags, you're not alone. Skin tags are a common skin condition that can be unsightly and cause discomfort. Fortunately, there are effective methods for skin tag removal Leeds, and one popular option is Cryopen treatment. In this blog, we'll explore what skin tags are, how Cryopen works, and why our doctor-led Leeds skin clinic is the ideal place for safe and efficient skin tag removal.

Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that appear on the skin's surface. They are usually flesh-colored or slightly darker and often hang off the skin by a narrow stalk. While skin tags are harmless, they can develop in areas where friction occurs, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, and groin, leading to irritation and discomfort.

Cryopen is an advanced and non-invasive cryotherapy technique used for removing skin tags, warts, and other skin lesions. The procedure involves using a specialised device that emits a precise stream of nitrous oxide at freezing temperatures. When the Cryopen is applied to the targeted area, it freezes the cells, causing them to die off.

1. Assessment: Before the treatment, our skilled skin specialist will examine the skin tags to ensure they are suitable for Cryopen removal.
2. Preparation: The area around the skin tag is cleansed thoroughly to avoid infections.
3. Cryopen Application: The Cryopen is carefully applied to the base of the skin tag using a pen-like applicator, delivering the freezing agent directly to the tissue.
4. Freezing Process: The freezing temperature destroys the cells in the skin tag, causing it to fall off.
5. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, the treated area will be sensitive. Our doctor will provide you with proper aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimise any discomfort.
