Cryotherapy Pen Treatments

 

Cryopen is a medical device used for cryotherapy, a treatment method that involves applying extreme cold to target small areas and removing abnormal tissues, such as warts, skin tags, verrucas, cherry angiomas and other lesions .

 

The device works by delivering a controlled amount of nitrous oxide to the affected area, causing the targeted tissue to freeze and subsequently die off

 

The main benefits of using Cryopen include:

1. Precision: It allows for targeted treatment of specific areas without affecting surrounding healthy tissue


2. Minimal Discomfort: Many patients find the procedure to be painless compared to traditional methods


3. Quick Recovery: Cryotherapy sessions are typically short, and recovery time is minimal, allowing patients to return to their normal activities soon after treatment.
