What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy or Cryosurgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used to remove benign skin lesions.
It uses liquid nitrous oxide to produce extremely cold temperatures, which is ideal for the safe and controlled removal of unwanted skin lesions and imperfections.
At Nicola Haywood Aesthetics I use the CryoPen O+ device which is made by the leading CryoPen brand, the device is fully CE certified and FDA approved. It is only for use only by trained medical professionals. With its pinpoint precision and minimal discomfort, CryoPen has become the preferred choice for patients who have various types of skin blemishes and want them removed with little fuss.
Cryotherapy is beneficial as it is quicker than other treatments and patients can have minimal disruption to their day. It requires no anaesthesia and has minimal scarring. There is minimal downtime and patients can return to normal activities after treatment.

For most lesions, cryotherapy is a permanent removal. Some lesions are harder to remove than others.
Side effects are usually minimal and temporary. Some common side effects include redness and swelling at the treatment site, mild discomfort during the treatment, blistering or crusting in the treated area or changes in skin colour (either lighter or darker). Serious complications are rare but will be discussed during your consultation.
Occasionally, a blister might form and persist for up to 5 days. Typically, healing will occur from 2-6 weeks, depending on the size and location of the blemish.
Most lesions will respond to a single treatment. However, some deeper lesions may take several treatments to get results.
