CryoPen Cryotherapy

  Cryotherapy is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used to freeze and destroy benign skin lesions. At Harriet Aesthetics we use the CryoPen device, this uses disposable cartridges to deliver quick, effective treatments. It is an advanced innovation that delivers an ultra-cold jet of high-pressure N₂O directly onto skin lesions. This destroys the skins tissue by freezing the intercellular fluid and does not affect any healthy tissue in the surrounding area due to its pinpoint accuracy. The Cryopen uses nitrous oxide working at -89°C vs other models using liquid nitrogen that is at (-196°C). Cell destruction in all benign tissues is achieved at -62°C, therefore nitrous oxide is sufficient to destroy any lesion without risking damage to the surrounding tissue. The excessive power of liquid nitrogen is not required and may well be an obstacle when treating verrucae and molluscum contagiosum in children, and when the treatment of aesthetic imperfections is needed.

  The Cryopen can be used for Skin Tags, Age Spots, Warts, Solar Keratoses, Verruca, Milia, Cherry Angiomas and other benign skin imperfections.
