What is CryoPen Skin Lesion Removal?
CryoPen skin lesion removal is a non-invasive procedure used to treat and remove various skin lesions, including warts, moles, and benign growths. At Renew Beauty Med Spa in Dallas and Frisco, CryoPen technology is utilized to precisely target and eliminate unwanted skin lesions through a process known as cryotherapy. This method is designed to be safe, effective, and minimally disruptive to the surrounding skin, offering a reliable solution for individuals seeking to improve the appearance and health of their skin.
What types of skin lesions does CryoPen treat??
The CryoPen is effective for treating a variety of skin lesions, including:
- Warts: Common warts & plantar warts
- Moles: Benign moles or growths that may be bothersome or unsightly
- Skin Tags: Small, benign growths that often appear in skin folds
- Age Spots: Also known as liver spots, these are pigmented areas that commonly appear with aging.
- Cherry Angiomas: Small, red growths caused by dilated blood vessels.
- Seborrheic Keratosis: Non-cancerous, scaly patches or growths on the skin.
- Actinic Keratosis: Rough, scaly patches often caused by sun damage.
How does it work?
CryoPen skin lesion removal works by applying a high-pressure stream of cryogenic gas (usually nitrous oxide) to the targeted skin lesion. The CryoPen system delivers this gas at extremely low temperatures, causing rapid freezing of the lesion. The freezing process destroys the abnormal cells and tissues within the lesion.
As the treated area thaws, the body begins to naturally eliminate the damaged tissue through its healing processes. The CryoPen’s precision allows for targeted treatment of specific lesions without affecting the surrounding healthy skin. The procedure is quick and typically involves minimal discomfort, making it a convenient option for removing a variety of skin lesions.
How fast will I see results??
Results from CryoPen skin lesion removal are usually noticeable within a few weeks after the treatment. Initially, the treated lesion may appear red and swollen, and it might form a blister as the skin heals. Over time, the lesion will begin to fade and fall off as the body sheds the damaged tissue. Most patients see significant improvement within 2 to 4 weeks, although the full healing process may take a few weeks longer depending on the size and type of lesion treated. For optimal results, follow-up treatments may be required for complete removal or to address additional lesions.
