What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is the controlled destruction of unwanted tissue by the precise application of extreme cold. The process is called cryonecrosis – tissue destruction by freezing.
What lesions does it treat?
All kinds of benign lesions like:
- Warts
- Haemangiomas
- Fibromas
- Skin tags
- Solar lentigo
- Pigmentation
- Molluscum
- Age spots

What does the treatment entail?
At The Cosmetic GP clinic we use the CryoPen. The CryoPen is the first cryotherapy device with micro technology which delivers high precision. Only the lesion is frozen avoiding healthy tissues. It delivers ultra cold jets of high pressured nitrous oxide to destroy the skin lesions. The treatment is quick and relatively painless.
