Cryotherapy
ABOUT
Cryotherapy safely and effectively reduces the appearance of freckles, age spots, lesions, sun damage and pigmentation by rapidly freezing the skin tissue to destroy the affected cells. The CryoPen is highly controlled amounts of Nitrous Oxide which is applied directly to the lesion to freeze the interstitial fluid leading to Cryo-necrosis (Cell Death)
The use of the Nitrous Oxide and the recession of the CryoPen allows us to remove unwanted lesions without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.

FAQ
Am I suitable for treatment?
The majority of people are suitable for skin pigmentation treatments with the exception of clients who have quite a dark skin tone. Clients who have been exposed to the sun and have developed a tan are also not suitable for treatment. Your trained clinical therapist will be able to consult you on your suitability in your free consultation.
What does the treatment feel like?
The treatment is virtually painless and most clients experience little discomfort. A warm sensation is felt for up to 2 hours post-treatment but this usually settles fairly quickly. Most people describe the sensation as an elastic band lightly flicking the skin.
What will I look like after treatment?
The skin may be slightly red and skin pigmentation may darken and may appear more obvious immediately following treatment. On the other hand, some spots may lighten without going darker first. Crusts may form over the spots in the weeks following treatment which is a normal reaction, and they will generally fall off by themselves. Our clinical therapists will advise you not to touch the scabs that form and to allow them to naturally purge on their own.
