Targeted cryotherapy for benign lesions
What CryoPen treats
CryoPen is commonly used for small, benign skin lesions you may want removed for comfort, confidence, or simply to leave your skin looking clearer and more even.
Commonly treated concerns

- Milia (selected cases)
- Warts and verrucas (selected cases)

Important note
We only treat lesions that are appropriate for CryoPen. If anything looks suspicious or outside CryoPen’s scope, we will explain why and advise you on the next best step.
Precision freezing, minimal disruption
How CryoPen works
CryoPen uses a fine jet of nitrous oxide to rapidly freeze the targeted area with high precision. Because the treatment is applied directly to the lesion, it helps protect the surrounding skin while treating only what needs attention.
What you might feel
Most clients describe a short, intense cold sensation, sometimes followed by mild stinging or tingling. Any discomfort is usually brief and typically settles quickly.
What happens afterwards
It is normal for the area to look a little red or slightly raised at first. Over the following days, the treated lesion may darken and form a small scab as the skin begins its natural healing process.
Downtime and healing
Downtime is usually minimal, but healing varies depending on the type and size of the lesion and where it is on the body. We will explain what to expect for your specific concern and provide clear aftercare to support the best possible result.

What happens at your appointment?
Your appointment, step by step
Your CryoPen appointment is straightforward and consultation-led. We take time to assess the area properly, explain the process clearly, and make sure the treatment is appropriate before we begin.
1) Consultation & suitability check
We will look closely at the lesion, ask a few questions about how long it has been there and whether it has changed, and confirm whether CryoPen is suitable. If it is not, we will talk you through the next best step.
2) Treatment
Once you are happy to proceed, we apply CryoPen directly to the area. Treatment is quick and targeted. The total time depends on the number, size and type of lesions being treated.
3) Aftercare & follow-up
Before you leave, you will receive simple aftercare guidance and a realistic timeline for results. Some lesions respond in one session, while others may benefit from a follow-up appointment to complete the result safely.
Results and healing timeline
Results & what to expect
CryoPen results are not instant, and that is completely normal. The treated area needs time to go through its natural healing process, and the final result depends on the type, size and location of the lesion.
What you may notice
Straight after treatment, the area can look slightly red or raised. Over the next few days, it may darken and form a small scab.
This is a typical response and part of how the body clears the treated tissue.
Typical timeline
- Immediately after: Redness, mild swelling or sensitivity can occur
- Days 1 to 7: The area may darken and a small scab can form
- 1 to 4 weeks: The lesion may reduce and shed as the skin recovers
How many sessions will I need?
Some concerns respond well after one treatment, while others may require a follow-up session to ensure the lesion is completely cleared.
