CryoPen® Treatment Inverness
What is Cryotherapy?
From £65. For skin tag removal in Tornagrain, Inverness, and for other lesions, Cryotherapy uses extreme cold from liquid nitrous oxide to remove unwanted skin imperfections quickly, effectively and safely.
The CryoPen™ is an FDA and CE registered advanced cryotherapy innovation. It is a pen-like instrument which delivers a fine pinpoint spray of liquid nitrous oxide at a constant temperature of minus-127 degrees under high pressure which allows the therapist to work with millimetre precision.
This means the nitrous oxide is delivered directly to the treated area and not to the healthy surrounding tissue. This service is for over 18s only.

● Age or Liver Spots

LESIONS THAT CAN BE TREATED
CryoPen™ offers the ideal treatment for:
Skin tags
A Skin Tag is a small flap of tissue that hangs off the skin by a connecting stalk. Skin tags are not dangerous and can be removed safely.
They appear most often in women, especially with weight gain and in elderly people. Irritation can occur if the skin tag frequency rubs against clothing or jewellery.
Age or sun spots and pigmented areas
For the removal of any pigmented areas, only one treatment is typically required using the CryoPen™.
Age/sun spots are caused by an excess production of melanin due to skin aging and sun exposure or other forms of ultraviolet light exposure, such as tanning beds. They are most likely to develop on the areas of your skin that receive the most sun exposure, including the face, back of hands, chest, shoulders and forearms.
Milia
Small, raised, pearly-white or yellowish bumps on the skin. They are most often seen on the skin around the cheeks, nose, eyes and eyelids, forehead and chest but they can occur anywhere on the body.
Seborrhoeic Keratosis
A common skin disorder that is characterized by benign, painless, often wart-like skin lesions that appears to be “stuck” on the skin. The rough, raised spots are usually yellow or brown.
Cherry Angioma- Blood Spots – Campbell de Morgan
These are common skin growths which can grow on most areas of your body and are usually found on people aged 30 and older. The broken blood vessels inside a cherry angioma give them a reddish appearance.
They are no cause for concern, unless they bleed or change shape or colour. Cause is unknown, possibly a genetic factor, linked to pregnancy, chemicals or climate change and age.
The CryoPen removes the lesions in one procedure with no risk of infection and no post care required.
Larger ones will reduce in size but may dry out and take on a scab. When healed the scab will disappear or reduce in size and may need a further treatment.
Warts and Verrucas (Plantar Warts)
Warts are highly contagious and occur when a virus comes in contact with the skin and causes infection. Verrucas take on the appearance of warts but are flatter because they tend to be found on the feet, where the dermis is thicker.
Shop bought topical preparations such as Wartner and Bazuka for the removal of warts and verrucae use a “slow freeze” principle to destroy the cells. A slow freeze gives the cells time to self-protect themselves, therefore taking a long time to destroy the lesion, if at all.
