Another recent, state of the art type of inventions include CryoPen cryotherapy that uses extreme cold, to safely destroy unwanted, benign and superficial lesions on the surface of your skin such as verrucae, angiomas, scars, warts, scars, skin tags and resistant Hyperpigmentation without causing any pain or problems.
Procedure of the Treatment
As we understand that it’s a medical term and a purely medical procedure that’s about applying nitrous oxide gas being ejected onto the skin under high pressure. When the cold comes in contact with the lesions, it freezes the area and helps in destroying them. It reaches to such cold temperature as -89°C, during the application and it’s the tip of applicator that gets this cold and the reason behind doing this is to create a thermal shock in the area by creating rapid drop in temperatures, where the gas is pointed. What happens is that by the drop in temperature, it causes the effect of crystallization that makes the fluid contents of the targeted cells of lesions and turn them into ice shard that can be easily be destroyed in the skin without damaging the cells around because it only targets the wounded ones because the membrane around them is ruptured and destroyed.
As the penetration of cold nitrous oxide gas is approximately 1mm per 5 seconds during the treatment, so if the lesion size is 2mm, then it’ll take 10 seconds to destroy it completely. It’s obvious that the treatment is about cold gas penetration hence during the treatment, it’s quite possible that you’ll see a frost or ice-field on the top of lesion. But it goes away in a few seconds as well. There’s also a technique called freeze-thaw-freeze can also be used to freeze, then defrost it that’s possibly frozen before, then defrost that frozen lesion and then freeze it again. Lesion is kept frozen for 30 seconds and then second treatment is applied with which the tissue will freeze faster than before and the destruction of lesion will be more likely.
After the treatment, the wounded area that has been treated is advisable to be left uncovered because it helps in speeding up the healing process. But the practitioner can apply a simple dressing or plaster if necessary because in some cases, there’s a chance that lesion may get rubbed or aggravated on some manner.
CryoPen is a procedure that can’t be done with some medical professional because it takes practice and patience in order to make this procedure a success.
Why Do We Use It?
It is mainly used to treat skin lesions on the surface of our skin, which may not be verily treated by other cosmetic procedures. There’s a whole process before reaching the point where we know that we must opt for this treatment in order to get our lesions treated in a painless and efficient way. Therefore, it’s necessary to first consult a suitably qualified medical practitioner, so that he may guide you to the path that you must opt according to your condition. This treatment can treat many lesions and some of them are listed below:
- Age/liver spots

This is the kind of treatment that can be used for all age groups (from young to adults) although there are some minor details that must be taken into account.
