At Neo Medical Health, located in South Wales, we offer Cryopen, an advanced treatment for removing common skin lesions such as warts, skin tags, age spots, and sun damage. This non-invasive procedure uses cryotherapy—extreme cold applied precisely to the lesion, freezing and destroying it without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue.

Key Benefits of Cryopen

1. Quick and Effective: Treatments last only a few minutes, making Cryopen an excellent option for busy individuals. Results are visible within days as the targeted lesion naturally falls off.

2. Minimal Discomfort: Cryopen uses a highly precise jet of nitrous oxide to freeze the lesion. While patients may experience a slight tingling or stinging sensation during the procedure, there is little to no pain, and no anaesthesia is required.

3. Safe for All Skin Types: Whether you have light or dark skin, Cryopen is a versatile option that can treat various types of lesions. This treatment is safe for most areas of the body, including sensitive areas like the face.

4. Minimal Downtime: One of the most significant advantages of Cryopen is that there is virtually no recovery time. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, with only mild redness or swelling that usually subsides within a few hours.

What Conditions Can Cryopen Treat?

Cryopen is highly effective for treating a wide range of benign skin lesions, including:

• Warts: Both common and plantar warts can be treated using Cryopen, which freezes the virus-infected tissue to remove the wart.

• Skin Tags: These small, benign growths can easily be frozen off in a quick session.

• Age Spots and Sun Damage: Cryopen effectively removes areas of hyperpigmentation caused by ageing or UV exposure, revealing fresher, even-toned skin underneath.

• Milia: These tiny, white bumps that appear on the skin, often around the eyes, can be effectively treated with Cryopen.

What to Expect During Treatment

The Cryopen procedure is straightforward. After assessing the lesion, the practitioner will apply the Cryopen device to the area. Nitrous oxide is released, freezing the tissue instantly. This extreme cold causes the cells in the lesion to crystallise, which leads to the breakdown and eventual removal of the unwanted tissue. Depending on the size and depth of the lesion, a session can last anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.

In some cases, a follow-up session may be necessary to achieve the best results, particularly for larger or more persistent lesions.

Post-Treatment Care

After Cryopen treatment, most patients experience minimal side effects. The treated area may appear red or slightly swollen, but this typically resolves within a few hours to days. In the days following treatment, the lesion will gradually darken and form a scab, which will naturally fall off, revealing clear, healthy skin underneath.

It’s essential to keep the treated area clean and avoid picking at any scabs to prevent infection or scarring. For best results, patients should also avoid direct sunlight and apply sunscreen to the treated area to protect the new skin.
