CryoPen Treatment: Fast, Precise & Effective Removal of Skin Lesions

Skin imperfections such as warts, skin tags, sun spots and harmless cosmetic lesions can be frustrating, especially when they affect your confidence or comfort. At our pharmacy, we offer CryoPen™ treatment — a quick, targeted and highly effective way to remove unwanted skin lesions using advanced cryotherapy technology.

Whether you want to improve your skin’s appearance or treat a bothersome lesion, CryoPen provides a modern, medical-grade solution without the need for surgery.

What Is CryoPen?

CryoPen is a handheld device that delivers a precise jet of nitrous oxide to freeze and destroy unwanted skin tissue. Unlike traditional cryotherapy methods, CryoPen allows controlled, pinpoint accuracy, meaning only the lesion is treated while surrounding healthy skin remains untouched.

It is commonly used for:

• Skin tags

• Warts and verrucae

• Pigmentation marks and sun spots

• Cherry angiomas

• Milia

• Other benign cosmetic lesions

CryoPen is a safe, non-invasive treatment frequently used in both medical and aesthetic settings.

How Does CryoPen Work?

The CryoPen device emits a fine, pressurised spray of nitrous oxide at extremely low temperatures. When applied to the targeted area:

• The cold freezes the lesion almost instantly

• The abnormal cells crystallise and break down

• Over the following days, the lesion naturally sheds

• Fresh, healthy skin forms in its place

The treatment is fast — often as little as 5–30 seconds per lesion — making it convenient even for busy schedules.

Benefits of CryoPen Treatment

Choosing CryoPen offers several advantages:

Highly Precise

The device targets only the lesion, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding skin.

Quick Appointment Times

Most treatments take only a few minutes with no need for anaesthesia.

Minimal Discomfort

Patients typically describe the sensation as a brief sting or cold sensation.

No Downtime

You can return to normal activities immediately after your appointment.

Safe for Many Skin Types

CryoPen is widely used for benign skin lesions across all skin types.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

During your CryoPen consultation, our trained clinician will:

• Assess the lesion to confirm it is safe and suitable for treatment

• Explain the procedure and answer any questions

• Apply the CryoPen device directly to the lesion

• Provide aftercare advice to support healing

Most lesions require just one treatment, though some may need a follow-up session.

Aftercare & Recovery

After treatment you may experience:

• Mild redness

• Slight swelling

• A small blister or scab

These are normal responses and typically settle within a few days. It is important to:

• Keep the area clean and dry

• Avoid picking scabs

• Use sun protection on exposed skin as it heals

Our pharmacist will provide personalised aftercare instructions based on the lesion treated.

Is CryoPen Right for You?

CryoPen is ideal for individuals seeking:

• A fast, discreet, and non-surgical solution

• Treatment for benign lesions causing cosmetic concern or irritation

• An alternative to GP referrals or long waiting times

However, CryoPen is not suitable for all lesions, particularly those that appear suspicious or potentially cancerous. If needed, our clinician will refer you for appropriate medical assessment.
