CryoPen Fleet

What is CyroPen treatment?

CryoPen treatment offers a safe, fast and minimally invasive method for the removal of benign, unwanted skin blemishes. In most cases now, GP’s will not treat cosmetic skin blemishes, but they can be effectively treated by a qualified beauty therapist.

I offer treatments for the following list of benign skin lesions

Hyper-Pigmentation marks (sometimes called age-spots)
Warts
Cherry angioma (blood spots)
Milia
Skin tags

Please note that I do not treat moles or actinic keratosis (thickened pigmented lesions). These may be treated by a doctor, privately.

Important information to note before making a booking.

Before I can offer you a treatment, check with your doctor (this can often be done via an e-consult form with an accompanying photograph) that your lesion is suitable for cryotherapy (CryoPen) treatment.

As a non-medic, I will not diagnose your skin lesion; this must be done by a medical professional (doctor or dermatologist).

Please check the list of contraindications for CryoPen before making your booking.

What’s involved?

Before your consultation, you will receive an online consultation form. Please fill this in at the time of booking.

At your appointment, I will assess your skin and lesion/s to be treated and explain the procedure and aftercare for your type of lesion and the possible side effects and risks. As with most procedures, there are risks, although these are uncommon with CryoPen treatments. If you are happy to proceed, I will ask you to fill out a treatment consent form and treat you on the day.

The treatment itself is complete within 5-30 seconds.

Rapid Freeze

After sanitising the lesion and area to be treated, I will use the CryoPen device to precisely target the skin tissue to be treated. CryoPen emits a fine jet of Nitrous oxide under pressure. Utilising extreme cold to destroy unwanted tissue, while the surrounding healthy tissue is safe and unaffected. Immediately following your treatment, histamine floods the area, which is a natural immune response. Redness and swelling, with tingling, is normal, this usually subsides after 10 minutes but may last a little longer.

Does it hurt?

The freezing time produces a sharp stinging sensation; however, the treatment is over very quickly, as such, most clients do not find the treatment too uncomfortable. After the treatment, there is often some residual stinging and warmth for a short time.

How much does it cost?

The cost depends upon the location and type of lesion being treated.

Book your Consultation and I will provide an accurate price. Prices start from £60, which would cover 3-4 small skin tags on the body.

The consultation fee is £25, when proceeding with a treatment, £15 will be credited towards the treatment cost.

Geraldine

"I’ve been seeing Jo regularly for the last few years. She takes a holistic view of skincare and I can truly say that my skin under her care is the best it’s ever been. I used to suffer from hormonal skin and serious pigmentation issues but under Jo’s care it’s the healthiest and clearest skin I’ve had. Most recently Jo has been using microcurrent treatment on my face to rejuvenate and tighten the skin and the results have been fantastic - a refining of my jaw and cheeks and overall luminosity.

Beyond this, Jo takes huge care in her advice and delivery. I always feel so relaxed during and post treatments and I would not go anywhere else. If you care about the long term health of your skin, Jo is your woman."

I would 100% recommend microneedling with Jo. I am in my early thirties and chose the treatment to boost collagen to help reduce the future signs of ageing. It’s never too early or too late to start looking after your skin! I have had 3 treatments and am looking forward to seeing the results over the next few months as the effects start to show. I can already see some reduction in faint lines and overall people have been complimenting saying my face is glowing more. Jo put me completely at ease, explaining the process in detail before and during the treatment. I felt very safe in her hands and the great aftercare products really helped to reduce the redness and get my skin looking it’s best. Will definitely be back for more treatments with Jo.

Maria

"I initially booked an appointment with Jo for a facial because I really didn’t know what my skin needed anymore, as I’ve hit perimenopause and my skin has become sensitive to all my usual products. Jo recommended the Dermaviduals assessment, and I was willing to give it a go. Afterwards my skin felt amazing and looked really healthy already. I’m just 3 days in, and already my face feels more comfortable and looks glowy. I found Jo to be very professional and knowledgeable, explaining all aspects of skincare in detail. In an ever-increasingly complicated world being bombarded with information and products you “must have”. It is such a relief to be told you just need 3 products. Fantastic experience, highly recommended."

CryoPen FAQ’s

How safe is CryoPen?

Provided that you do not have any contraindications, treatments are safe and effective. I am experienced at carrying out treatments using the CryoPen device, which is CE and FDA approved.

How many treatments will I need?

This depends upon the type of lesion and the tissue density. For most small lesions, one treatment is all that is required. For multiple pieces of hyperpigmentation, several appointments may be necessary.

With Skin tags, the peduncle (attachment) can be several mm thick; in this instance, more than one treatment is likely.

Safe treatment protocols vary for pigment-rich skin types (Fitzpatrick 4-6), which means treating pigmentation marks twice to ensure the best aesthetic outcome. This would be discussed in your consultation if necessary.

What happens following my CryoPen Treatment?

This varies depending on the type of lesion. Skin tags – size dependent, take around a week to fall off. Larger Skin tags, will crust and may feel a little sore for 1-2 weeks. Subesquent treatments may be required.

Cherry Angiomas – swell slightly immediately following treatment, and then reduce in size, before forming a crust. The crust sheds in 1-2 weeks and may leave a darker area before returning to normal skin colour (healing time 4-6 weeks.) Milia have no immediate change and are absorbed back into the skin over 4 weeks. Warts can take up to a month to disappear – you may require a follow-up treatment.

Hyperpigmentation – this will darken and take one to 4 weeks to fall off. On the face it is usually around a week. The new skin will gradually re-pigment in around 6 weeks, wearing a high sun protection factor is essential to protect the skin from hyperpigmentation.
