CRYOSURGERY EXPLAINED: WHAT IS CRYOSURGERY AND WHAT CAN CRYOPEN BE USED FOR?

Cryosurgery is rapidly gaining recognition as an effective, minimally invasive procedure for treating various skin conditions.

In this blog, I will explore cryosurgery, the benefits it offers, and why the innovative CryoPen is becoming the tool of choice for practitioners and patients alike.

What is cryosurgery?

Cryosurgery is a medical procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. The term "cryo" refers to "cold," while "surgery" involves the precision required to target and treat specific areas. This procedure is widely used for cosmetic and dermatological treatments to remove benign skin imperfections such as warts, skin tags, sun spots, and other lesions.

The beauty of cryosurgery lies in its minimally invasive nature. The procedure involves applying liquid nitrogen or another cryogenic agent directly to the affected area, freezing and eliminating unwanted tissue with pinpoint accuracy. Patients benefit from minimal discomfort, swift treatment times, and typically fast recovery periods.

What is CryoPen and how does it work?

The CryoPen is an advanced device designed for precise cryosurgery treatments. It utilises a controlled flow of nitrous oxide to create targeted freezing temperatures, ensuring effective treatment without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. At Moreton Aesthetics, I use the CryoPen because of its safety, accuracy, and consistent results.

What is CryoPen used for?

The CryoPen can treat a variety of benign skin imperfections, including:

- Skin tags

- Warts and verrucae

- Age spots and sun damage

- Cherry angiomas (small red skin growths)

- Milia (small white bumps)

- Pigmented lesions

The CryoPen’s non-invasive and quick application makes it a top choice for patients seeking efficient treatments with minimal downtime. 

If you have a suspicious lesion, these can be imaged with a dermatoscope and sent to a consultant dermatologist for a written report, prior to removal.

The benefits of cryosurgery and CryoPen treatments

1. Quick and Painless Procedures: Treatments with the CryoPen are typically completed in minutes, making them ideal for those with busy schedules. The process is generally painless, with most patients reporting only a mild stinging or tingling sensation.

2. Minimally Invasive: Unlike more invasive surgical methods, cryosurgery with the CryoPen involves no cuts, stitches, or major discomfort. This makes it an appealing option for individuals concerned about scarring or post-procedure complications.

3. Highly Targeted Treatment: The CryoPen allows for precise application, ensuring that only the affected tissue is treated. This accuracy minimises the risk of damage to healthy surrounding skin.

4. Little to No Recovery Time: One of the key benefits of cryosurgery is the lack of significant downtime. After treatment, most patients can immediately return to their daily activities with only minor aftercare required.

Cryosurgery with the CryoPen fits perfectly into my ethos of providing non-invasive, effective, and cutting-edge treatments.

Preparing for Your CryoPen treatment

Before undergoing a cryosurgery session at Moreton Aesthetics, it’s important to schedule a consultation. This step allows me to assess your skin condition, discuss your expectations, and create a tailored treatment plan. During the consultation, we’ll address any questions you may have, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable.

After your treatment, some post-care tips include:

- Avoiding sun exposure to the treated area until it has fully healed.

- Applying a soothing balm as directed by your clinician to aid recovery.

- Refraining from picking or scratching the treated skin to prevent scarring.
