Frequently Asked Questions
What is CryoPen?
CryoPen treatment is a targeted cryotherapy procedure that uses a precise stream of nitrous oxide to freeze and destroy unwanted skin lesions. It is commonly used to treat suitable benign lesions such as skin tags, seborrhoeic keratoses, and some pigmented lesions after appropriate assessment. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, I approach every skin lesion treatment medically, ensuring the area is assessed before treatment because not every mark or growth is suitable for cryotherapy.
How does CryoPen work?
CryoPen works by applying controlled freezing energy directly to the targeted skin lesion. The extreme cold damages the unwanted tissue, which then gradually heals as the body naturally removes the treated area. The response varies depending on the type, size, depth, and location of the lesion. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, I explain that CryoPen treatment is not an instant removal process. The skin needs time to heal, and results develop gradually over the following weeks.
How many CryoPen treatments will I need?
The number of CryoPen treatments required depends on the type of lesion, its size, depth, and how your skin responds to freezing. Some small superficial lesions may improve after one treatment, while others may require two or more sessions, often reviewed after the skin has fully healed, usually around 4 to 6 weeks later. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, I assess each lesion individually and provide realistic expectations rather than promising complete removal after one session.
What should I expect after CryoPen treatment?
After CryoPen treatment, the treated area may become red, swollen, tender, or develop a small blister or scab as part of the normal healing process. The skin then gradually repairs itself, with healing often taking 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the area treated and the depth of freezing required. It is important not to pick or disturb the area while it heals. At Juvenology in Maidstone, Kent, I provide aftercare guidance to support safe healing and reduce the risk of complications.
Can I have CryoPen if I'm not sure what the mark is?
No, not without me looking at it first. I won't freeze anything I haven't properly assessed, because treating an undiagnosed lesion isn't a risk I'm willing to take with your skin.
