CryoPen Treatment
CryoPen treatment offers a quick, precise and non-invasive way to treat a variety of common benign skin lesions, helping restore smoother, clearer-looking skin with minimal downtime. Using advanced cryotherapy technology, CryoPen freezes unwanted imperfections with pinpoint accuracy while leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected.
Popular for skin tag removal in Plymouth, CryoPen can be used to treat a range of benign lesions including skin tags, warts, verrucas, cherry angiomas, age spots, milia and certain pigmented lesions. Following a consultation, your therapist will assess the area and advise whether CryoPen treatment is suitable.
What to Expect
Your appointment begins with a consultation to assess the lesion and confirm suitability for treatment. The CryoPen device then delivers a controlled jet of nitrous oxide to the area, freezing the tissue with precision.
Treatment itself is quick, with each lesion taking only seconds to treat. Mild redness or sensitivity afterwards is normal, and the area will gradually heal over the following days or weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CryoPen?
CryoPen is an advanced cryotherapy device that uses extremely cold nitrous oxide to freeze and destroy unwanted benign skin lesions. It provides a precise, effective alternative to more invasive removal methods.
What can CryoPen treat?
CryoPen can be used to treat a variety of benign skin imperfections including skin tags, warts, verrucas, cherry angiomas, age spots, milia and some seborrhoeic keratoses. Suitability is always determined during your consultation.
Is CryoPen treatment painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as a brief stinging or cold feeling similar to a quick snap against the skin. Any discomfort is usually mild and short-lived.
How long does treatment take?
Appointments typically take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of lesions being treated. Individual applications usually take only a few seconds.
How long does healing take?
Healing times vary depending on the lesion and the area treated. Smaller lesions may heal within one to two weeks, while larger areas can take several weeks to fully resolve.
Will I need more than one treatment?
Many lesions respond after a single session, although some may require two or three treatments to achieve the desired result. This will be discussed during your consultation.
What happens after treatment?
The area may appear red immediately after treatment and can sometimes blister or form a small scab. This is a normal part of the healing process. The lesion will gradually dry up and naturally separate from the skin.
Can I shower after treatment?
Yes. Normal washing and showering can continue, although you should avoid picking at the area and follow any aftercare advice provided to support healing.
Is there any downtime?
There is very little downtime following CryoPen treatment. Most clients can return to normal activities immediately, although the treated area should be protected while it heals.
Can all moles be removed with CryoPen?
No. Only suitable benign lesions can be treated. Any lesion that appears suspicious or requires medical assessment will not be treated and should be referred to your GP or dermatologist for further investigation.
Is CryoPen safe?
Yes. CryoPen is a well-established cryotherapy treatment and is considered a safe and effective method for treating many benign skin lesions when performed by a trained professional.
How do I know if my lesion is suitable for treatment?
A consultation will always be carried out before treatment. This allows us to assess the lesion carefully and ensure CryoPen is both safe and appropriate for your individual needs.
