Cryotherapy
CryoPen™ is a state of the art medical treatment that uses extreme cold, or cryotherapy, to painlessly and safely destroy unwanted, benign and superficial lesions on the surface of the skin, such as warts, skin tags, old scars, verrucae, milia, cherry angiomas, seborrheic and actinic keratosis, and hyperpigmentation. It has four main benefits over other treatments;
- CryoPen therapy is quick, precise and safe
- No anaesthesia is required and it is virtually painless and therefore no downtime
- It is one of the least invasive lesion treatments on the market
- It is used in the treatment of virtually any benign skin lesions
Benefits of the CryoPen
- Extreme Precision – Microfine jet for precise control making it safe to use on delicate skin or around the eye area.
- Extreme Power – Liquid nitrogen at high pressure (55 bars) and low temperatures (-89’c) for effective cell destruction. CO2 at -79’c is utilised for the CryoPen Accurett.
- Improved Treatments – Comfortable treatment, no stress, and minimal damage – if any – to health tissue.
- Improved Results – Impressive results for complete removal of benign skin lesions.
- Cost Effective – Efficient, practical and extremely cost-effective for a quick return on investment.
