What to Expect During & After Treatment
Your skilled therapist will apply the CryoPen to the targeted area, delivering a short burst of nitrous oxide to freeze the lesion. A slight tingling or stinging sensation may be felt, but the procedure is generally well tolerated.
Post-treatment, the area may darken or blister before gradually flaking away, revealing fresh, healthy skin. Healing times will vary depending on the size and location of the lesion, but full results are typically visible within a few weeks.

CryoPen FAQs
Is CryoPen a type of cryotherapy?
«Yes, the CryoPen is a specific type of cryotherapy device. It uses extreme cold in the form of high-pressure nitrous oxide precisely applied to unwanted tissue such as skin tags, warts and age-spots. It is an advanced and very precise form of cryotherapy which uses a fine-jet of frozen gas to destroy cells by forming ice crystals.
What is cryotherapy
«Cryotherapy is sometimes referred to as cold therapy. It involves the controlled use of low temperatures for therapeutic purposes. It can be applied either to the whole body for general health and wellness benefits or locally to treat specific skin and tissue concerns.
When performed with the CryoPen device, cryotherapy offers a highly precise method for removing a range of benign skin lesions, such as warts, skin tags, age spots and sun damage. The treatment works by delivering a fine jet of nitrous oxide to freeze the targeted area, safely destroying unwanted tissue without affecting the surrounding skin.
Is CryoPen treatment painful?
«Most people find CryoPen treatment very comfortable and experience little to no pain. You may feel a brief sensation of cold, tingling, or mild stinging as the area is frozen, but this typically lasts only a few seconds.
As the CryoPen treatment is very precise, it targets only the unwanted tissue, leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected. Any mild discomfort usually subsides quickly after treatment. There's no need for any local anaesthetic or down-time for recovery after treatment.
How does CryoPen work?
«CryoPen works by delivering a precise jet of highly pressurised liquid nitrous oxide directly onto the targeted skin lesion. The extreme cold rapidly freezes the unwanted tissue, causing the cells to break down in a process known as cryogenic cell destruction.
This controlled freezing effectively destroys the skin lesion while leaving the surrounding healthy skin untouched. The treatment is quick and generally well tolerated. Most patients describe only a brief tingling or stinging sensation that lasts a few seconds.
Is CryoPen Safe?
«Yes, CryoPen is a completely safe treatment when carried out by fully trained professionals. All the aesthetics practitioners at Sparx are fully qualified and experienced in using the CryoPen system. Before your procedure, your practitioner will assess your skin and explain what to expect, ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable throughout.
The device is designed to deliver a controlled, precise application of cold directly to the targeted area, ensuring surrounding skin remains unharmed. It's a trusted, clinically proven method for removing common skin lesions safely, effectively and with minimal discomfort.
Are there any side effects to CryoPen?
«CryoPen is a very safe and well-tolerated treatment. Most people only experience minor, temporary effects such as redness, slight swelling, or the formation of a small scab as the skin naturally heals.
Some patients may notice temporary changes in skin colour, which usually settle over time. More serious side effects, such as scarring, nerve irritation, or hair follicle changes, are extremely rare.
Your practitioner will discuss everything with you during your consultation, answer any questions, and ensure the treatment is suitable for your skin type. With expert care, CryoPen provides an effective and low-risk way to remove unwanted skin lesions.
Is there any downtime needed after a CryoPen treatment?
«One of the advantages of CryoPen treatment is that it requires little to no downtime. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
The treated area may appear slightly red or swollen for a short period, and a small scab may form as the skin heals. This is completely normal and usually resolves within 1–2 weeks. Your Sparx practitioner will provide simple aftercare advice to support healing and ensure the best results.
How many CryoPen treatments will I need?
«The number of CryoPen sessions required depends on the type, size, and location of the lesion being treated. Many minor skin lesions, such as small warts or skin tags, can be removed in a single session. Larger or more stubborn areas may need a few treatments spaced a few weeks apart to achieve the best results.
Your Sparx practitioner will assess your skin during your initial consultation and provide a personalised treatment plan, so you know exactly what to expect.
Most patients see significant improvement quickly, with new, healthy skin appearing as the treated area heals.
