Common skin lesions can be treated in seconds using 3 steps, first freeze, thaw for 30 seconds, second freeze. Each freeze is from 5 to 30 seconds depending on the size and depth of the lesion.
Treatment time can be as little as 40 seconds. The procedure destroys unwanted tissue by the precise application of extreme cold through tissue necrosis.
The CryoPen device freezes skin lesions to -89 degrees using high pressured nitrous oxide. This freezing action cuts off the blood supply during this process, ensuring patient safety and comfort. Because it precisely treats the lesion and not the surrounding healthy tissue, it can therefore safely treat lesions on the face and around the eyes.
The CryoPen is CE and FDA registered.
