Cryotherapy is the controlled elimination of unwanted tissue by the precise
application of extreme cold.
Today, cryotherapy is the gold standard for removal of skin lesions in dermatology
and aesthetic practices. A cryogenic gas called Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is used
to target and freeze the lesion, while avoiding damage the surrounding healthy tissue.
After the treatment, the lesion will gradually fall off, new skin forms and the area returns to its original colour.

FreezPen treats all types of common non-malignant skin lesions: warts, dark spots, liver/age spots, skin tags, moles, keratosis, angiomas, fibromas, milia, molluscum contagiosum and more. Please note that any types of malignant or suspicious growths need to be treated by a certified dermatologist.
New skin growths (especially moles) are potentially malignant and need to be evaluated by a dermatologist first. Only stable lesions that are not evolving over time are suitable for cryotherapy treatments. Consult with a certified physician to make sure your new mole is a non-malignant growth before removing it with FreezPen.

FreezPen treatment usually takes no more than a few minutes. The duration of the treatment depends on the number of treated lesions, the number of freeze-thaw cycles and the duration of freezing.
Your lesion is expected to fall off 2-4 weeks
after the treatment. Some lesions are more
persistent and may take longer to disappear.
The treatment is comfortable, and doesn’t
hurt. It feels like a light pinch. There is no
need for local anesthesia.

involve zero downtime.

No. Freezpen is a non-invasive treatment.
Temporary blistering may occur, but there will
be no permanent scars or marks left on
your skin.
Generally, there is no post-treatment care regime and you may resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment. We do advise patients to apply healing ointments (such as Aquaphor) on the area of the treatment to speed up the healing process.
Although FreezPen cryotherapy is the safest treatment today for the removal of skin lesions, a few rare side effects may still occur. These side effects include:
