Sun Damage, Hyperpigmentation, Keratosis

​

CRYOTHERAPY - Cryopen

The Cryopen™ has millimetre precision. This allows for control of how deep the nitrous oxide penetrates and the circumference or border of the area treated.  Excellent for the treatment of sun spots/pigmentation, verrucae & warts among others.

​

ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Initially the Pigmentation will be assessed, if I am happy that is it sun/enviromental damage and nothing more sinister we can proceed with treatment.  Using Cryopen with a fine tip allowing for precision Liquid Nitrous is applied to the Pigmented area,

​

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER TREATMENT
The treated area becomes a darker pink/plum colour.  Sometimes tiny blisters appear on the treated area.  Over the 24 hours a dark scab/crust will form on the treated area - expect this crust/scab to be in place for 10 days or more if you're healing is slower.  You MUST NOT pick or remove scab/crust it is allowing healing to take place.  Premature removal of crust can lead to scarring.  The treatment is uncomfortable but as it is in short bursts it is bearable.

​

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Large areas need to be treated in more than one session - a quarter or a third at a time depending on size. 

You will need to keep out of the sun whilst healing takes place and use a high SPF to prevent further skin damage.

​

AVOID TREATMENT IF YOU HAVE A SOCIAL EVENT OR SUN HOLIDAY BOOKED WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF TREATMENT 

 

In most cases the area treated will be healed in 2 weeks to the naked eye - full healing under magnification 6 weeks.  Allowance must be made for individual healing capacity.

​

CAN YOU WEAR MAKE UP AFTER TREATMENT

Avoid make up around the treated area for 24 hours.  When you do apply and remove make up be cautious not to knock scab off.

​

THE TREATMENT IS HIGHLY SUCCESFUL

I have achieved amazing results for my clients some images can be seen above.
