Cryotherapy is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment that uses extreme cold to remove unwanted skin lesions. At our clinic, we utilise the Ivanmed CryoPen M, a state-of-the-art device that delivers precision freezing, targeting only the affected tissue while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.


What Can Cryotherapy Treat?


Cryotherapy is an excellent treatment option for a wide range of benign skin lesions, including:


  • Skin tags

  • Warts (common and plantar warts)

  • Solar lentigines (age spots)

  • Seborrheic keratosis

  • Cherry angiomas

  • Viral verrucae

  • Milia

  • Actinic keratosis


How Many Sessions Are Required?


The number of sessions needed depends on the type and size of the lesion. Typically:


  • Small lesions may only require one session

  • Larger or more stubborn lesions, such as warts, may need two to three sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart to ensure complete removal


How Long Does the Procedure Take?


Cryotherapy with the CryoPen M is quick and convenient:


  • The procedure typically lasts between 5 to 30 seconds per lesion

  • Multiple lesions can be treated in a single session

  • There is minimal discomfort, and most patients can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment


Post-Treatment Care with Dermalux LED Light Therapy


Following cryotherapy, we enhance the healing process using the Dermalux LED Light Therapy system. This advanced technology helps to:


  • Reduce inflammation and redness

  • Speed up skin recovery

  • Minimise discomfort

  • Prevent infection


Dermalux LED light therapy works by stimulating the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, ensuring optimal results with minimal downtime.
