SKIN LESION REMOVAL IN MILTON KEYNES

​What is Cryotherapy?​

Cryotherapy is the use of extreme cold produced by liquid nitrous oxide for the fast, effective and safe solution for the controlled destruction of unwanted skin imperfections. The CryoPen™ is a FDA and CE registered advanced cryotherapy innovation. It is a pen-like instrument which delivers a fine pinpoint spray of liquid nitrous oxide at a constant temperature of minus-127 degrees under high pressure which allows the therapist to work with millimetre precision. This means the nitrous oxide is delivered directly to the treated area and not to the healthy surrounding tissue.

​

The CryoPen removes the lesions in one procedure with no risk of infection and no post care required. Larger ones will reduce in size but may dry out and take on a scab. When healed the scab will disappear or reduce in size and may need a further treatment.

​

The Cryopen attacks the cells using a fast freeze (-40 degrees on the lesion in 12 secs), destroying the nucleus therefore removing the lesion as it has not time to protect itself. It is also believed that this process helps the immune system to recognise the virus so that the patient may be less likely to get a verruca again. Pre-treatment: Soak for 5 mins every day for one week prior to your appointment Exfoliate or gently file every day, after soaking, for one week prior to your appointment A second treatment may be required if the wart/verruca is very large or has been present for a few years to make sure no viral cells remain.
