Skin imperfections such as moles, warts, sun spots and skin tags are very common. Many people start searching for solutions when these lesions become more visible, uncomfortable or simply affect how the skin looks.

One of the most effective non invasive options available today is CryoPen® treatment, a modern cryotherapy technique designed to remove benign skin lesions quickly and precisely.

At Raquel Campos Regenerative Clinic in Belgravia, CryoPen® is used to safely treat a range of skin imperfections on both the face and body, offering a fast procedure with minimal downtime.

What Is CryoPen® Treatment

CryoPen® is an advanced cryotherapy device used to remove benign skin lesions through controlled freezing.

The technology delivers a highly targeted jet of liquid nitrogen to the lesion. This extreme cold destroys the unwanted cells while preserving the surrounding healthy skin.

Because the treatment is precise and localised, it allows practitioners to treat small skin imperfections without affecting the surrounding tissue.

CryoPen® is commonly used for the removal of:

• Skin tags
• Warts and verrucae
• Sun spots and pigmentation spots
• Certain benign moles
• Age spots
• Some forms of superficial hyperpigmentation

This makes it a versatile treatment for improving overall skin clarity and appearance.

How CryoPen® Works

CryoPen® works through a process called controlled cryotherapy.

A precise burst of liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the lesion. The extreme cold freezes the cells within the targeted tissue, causing them to break down.

Over the following days, the treated area naturally forms a small blister or scab. As the skin heals, the unwanted lesion gradually falls away, revealing healthier skin underneath.

The precision of the device allows the practitioner to treat the lesion accurately while minimising impact on surrounding tissue.

What Areas Can Be Treated

CryoPen® can be used on many areas of the body, including:

• Face
• Neck
• Hands
• Chest
• Back
• Arms
• Legs

It is frequently used for visible lesions on the face and hands, where patients often want a quick and effective solution.

How Many Sessions Are Needed

In many cases, one session is enough to remove the lesion.

However, some lesions may require additional treatments depending on their size, depth or type. Your practitioner will assess the lesion during consultation and recommend the appropriate approach.

What Does the Treatment Feel Like

CryoPen® treatment is generally well tolerated.

Most patients describe the sensation as a brief stinging or intense cold feeling during the freezing phase. This sensation usually lasts only a few seconds.

Because the procedure is quick and discomfort is minimal, anaesthetic is typically not required.

Procedure Time

The treatment itself is very fast. Most CryoPen® procedures take between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the number and size of the lesions being treated.

This makes it a convenient option for patients who want an efficient treatment with minimal interruption to their day.

Recovery and Healing

Recovery after CryoPen® treatment is usually straightforward.

The treated area may develop:

• mild redness
• a small blister
• a scab

These are normal parts of the healing process.

In most cases, the area heals within one to two weeks as the lesion naturally falls away and new skin forms underneath.

Patients can usually return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it is important to avoid picking or disturbing the treated area while it heals.

How Long Do Results Last

Once the lesion has been removed, the result is generally permanent for that specific lesion.

However, new lesions may develop over time due to factors such as sun exposure, skin ageing or individual skin tendencies.
