Cryotherapy

How Does Cryotherapy Work?

Dermapen™ Cryotherapy delivers a fine, targeted, ultra-cold mist (temperature -89 degrees Celsius) of nitrous oxide gas at a high pressure to effortlessly and painlessly treat a variety of unwanted skin lesions.

The pinpoint accuracy of a cryo pen provides greater precision and comfort (compared with liquid nitrogen therapy), creating increased treatment versatility and results. Treatments are fast, comfortable and effective for imperfections found on facial and body skin, making it the perfect treatment for freezing warts and skin tags.

The longer the mist is sprayed onto a lesion with the cryo pen, the deeper the absorption and active penetration. Multi-treatment tips enable versatile precision to treat a variety of lesion sizes and depths. Unlike traditional Cryotherapy, the tip does not directly touch the lesion. This enables far greater comfort, accelerated healing and a more precise delivery system. The nitrous oxide treats damaged tissue by freezing inter cellular fluid, helping to speed up the removal of skin tags, solar lentigo and other skin concerns.

Pre Treatment

• Avoid applying active skincare (e.g. retinol, AHAs/BHAs) 24 hours prior
• Refrain from waxing, laser, or exfoliating treatments on the area for 48 hours before
• Arrive with clean, product-free skin
• Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment If treating the face, avoid heavy makeup on the day of your appointment

Post Treatment

To get the most out of your treatment, make sure to abide by the following post care guidelines:

• Immediately after your tattoo has been removed, you should rest and alleviate the treated area.
• Use cool packs and/or soothing gel for comfort and to reduce swelling.
• Wash area gently every day (do not scrub). After 24 hours, apply a paraffin type product to keep crusty areas moist.
• Do not pick or scratch any crusting that may be present, as this will dramatically increase the risk of infection and/or scarring.
• Until the redness and crusting has healed, avoid the use of scented lotions, soaps or creams containing AHAs
• Avoid excessive scrubbing and shaving
• Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or spas
