Frequently asked questions:

Does it hurt?

A mildly cold sensation is experienced with Cryopen treatment of larger lesions. Smaller lesions may be treated in as little as 3 seconds for fast, comfortable and pain-free results. The treated area will feel itchy and appear red immediately after application. A mild blister may present for up to 2 weeks post-procedure as part of the removal and healing process.

Are there any side effects?

The fine mist of nitrous oxide is precisely delivered to the unwanted lesion. This means treatment may even be performed near the eyes and on sensitive areas and the fast penetration rate provides reliable and exact application. Some minor scabbing, blistering or darkening of the lesion may appear immediately after treatment. This will clear in 1-2 weeks.

Suspicious moles or sunspots will require doctor’s approval prior to treatment to ensure patient safety.

How many treatments do I need & when will I see improvement?

To remove the risk of over-treatment, some lesions may require a second mist, 3-4 weeks after the initial session. Most lesions however only require one cryo session to deliver long lasting treatment and removal. Results may be seen one to two weeks after treatment.

How much does it cost?

Can range between $45 – $99 depending on the size and quantity of skin lesions requiring treatment. Please call our clinic for a free consultation with our skin therapists to assess the area and provide you with an accurate price.
