WHAT IS CRYOTHERAPY AND WHAT DOES IT TREAT? HOW IT WORKS
Frequently asked questions
-
The area treated is frozen by cryotherapy. This kills the localised cells in the area which cause them to shrivel and die. The treated area may go darker over a few weeks, but will return to normal pigmented skin in about 6 weeks.
-
The duration of the treatment time will depend on the surface area and the thickness of the tissue being treated. Upon the clinical evaluation of the depth of the area, the clinician will choose an application time from 1 to 30 seconds.
-
The cost of treatment will depend on the size of the area. Make an appointment with Feel The Heal to discuss costs and to assess your area.
-
Cryotherapy is a relatively low-risk procedure. CryopenTM delivers N20 directly to the area, and not the healthy surrounding tissue. CryoPenTM is both CE and FDA registered.
-
There will be a pain sensation similar to a stinging nettle on the skin when the nitrous oxide reaches the bottom of the area. There might be a little residual stinging for a few minutes after treatment.
Cherry Angioma
Cherry angiomas are small, pinhead-like lesions on your skin that appear most commonly on your torso, arms and legs of your body. Cherry angiomas are: Round. About 2 millimeters (mm) to 4 mm in size. Light to dark red. The term “cherry” references their color and appearance on the skin, as angiomas typically form in groups.
Seborrheic Keratoses
AKA “age spots” and “barnacles of the skin,” seborrheic keratoses are benign skin growths. They are most commonly seen on the face, chest, shoulders, and back.
Milia
Milia is a small, white bump that typically appears on the nose and cheeks. These cysts are often found in groups. Multiple cysts are called milia. Milia occur when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin. Keratin is a strong protein that’s typically found in skin tissues, hair, and nail cells.
Wart
Noncancerous growths that tend to be the same color as your skin. They often look like a cluster of skin tissue extending out from a tiny stem. They’re sometimes darker and may resemble a raised mole. Most skin tags are between 1-5 mm, but some can grow as large as a few centimeters.
Melasma Spots
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that causes patches or spots on the skin to appear darker than your natural skin tone. It can show up anywhere on the body but is most commonly seen on the face. There are three main types — melasma, which is typically triggered by hormonal changes and is common during pregnancy; sunspots, also known as liver spots, which develop from years of excess sun exposure and usually appear on the face and hands; and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which occurs after skin injury or inflammation and is most commonly caused by acne. All three are treatable and manageable with the right protocol.
