Cryotherapy is quick, far more cost effective than surgical methods and with much less down time.

It is possible to schedule a cryotherapy session alone or you can add Cryotherapy to a facial treatment or Dermapen microneedling treatment.

Simple. Safe. Effective.
Key things to know about your treatment
What is it?
Cryotherapy uses extreme cold (cryotherapy) to painlessly and safely destroy unwanted superficial lesions on the surface of the skin. The treatment removes skin tags, freckles, moles, milia, cherry angiomas (hemangiomas), and hyperpigmentation lesions.
Who is it for?
CryoPen is suitable for anyone who wants quick removal of unwanted lesions.
Contraindications
None
How it works
A high pressure jet of nitrous oxide – N2O (the source of the cold energy) is directed at the specific lesion being treated and acts with pinpoint accuracy. The lesion is frozen, allowed to rest, and re-frozen a number of times. Sounds a little weird, doesn't it, but it's safe, effective and surgery free.
How it feels
The treatment is virtually pain free. You'll experience a cold sensation. Afterward you will experience pinkness, some swelling and potentially some temporary blistering that will reduce quickly.
Precare
No precare is required.
Aftercare
We will guide you through what to use on your skin after your treatment. Take it easy on your skin for five days, or until any reactions have subsided. Use a gentle cleanser morning and night, along with a moisturiser. As always, you should avoid direct sunlight, and wear a high SPF sunscreen and hat whenever outdoors.
Downtime
For most lesions there will be signs of recovery: crusting, pinkness and tenderness for 5-7 days. The skin will continue to heal and repair over the following 4 weeks where you won't notice inflammation or swelling but a little pinkness may still be visible. Some people may develop a temporary change in skin colour (pigmentation). No make up is recommended for 12 hours after your treatment. Thereafter you can apply makeup for coverage.
Frequency
Your area of concern may be successfully treated in a single session. Depending on the lesion it may need two or more treatments. You can book a second session if needed once all pinkness has subsided, usually after six weeks.
Cost
from $200 — Cryotherapy session alone
from $150 — When added onto a Dermapen or facial treatment
