The skincare market in the UK grew to an impressive £3.1 billion in the year ending 2021, as Brits became increasingly inclined to spend on facial care products, makeup and even non-surgical cosmetic treatments.

One such treatment is ‘Cryotherapy’, which is administered using a device called “CryoPen” and provides a painless and convenient solution for removing a number of different skin lesions and perceived imperfections.

Here at K Govind Medical Aesthetics, we offer this non-intrusive treatment as one of several non-cosmetic skincare solutions. But what exactly is a CryoPen used for, and what are the advantages of this product?

What is a CryoPen and Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy utilises liquid nitrous oxide (N₂O) to produce extremely cold temperatures, which are ideal for the safe and controlled removal of unwanted skin lesions and imperfections.

This quick and efficient treatment is administered using a CryoPen, which delivers focused jets of high-pressure N₂O directly onto target skin lesions. As a result, treatments can be applied flexibly and with pinpoint accuracy, without the need for local injections.

This is central to the convenient nature of the treatment, which can be administered in seconds and with minimal invasion or disruption to your day.

What is Cryotherapy Use For?

At K Govind Medical Aesthetics, we use Cryotherapy to reverse a number of skin imperfections, whether these are naturally occurring or exist in the form of lesions. For example, you can use Cryotherapy to tackle the following:

• Skin Tags
• Moles
• Milia
• Cherry Angiomas
• Age Spots
• Warts
• Verrucas

What are the Benefits of Using a CryoPen?

One of the primary benefits of using a Cryopen lies with its core functionality, which allows for skin lesions to be treated locally in a quick and painless fashion. As a result, Cryotherapy treatments can be administered in seconds and without the need for extended recovery times.

By also negating the need for invasive local injections, the Cryopen minimises the risk of potential side-effects, including swelling around the injection site, minor pain and short-term irritation.

The device’s renowned accuracy also allows for lesions to be treated efficiently but without impacting the surrounding, healthy tissue, which is key when undergoing any kind of cosmetic treatment.

From a practitioner’s perspective, the CryoPen also provides a cost-effective and versatile solution to a number of skin lesions. To learn more about this product and its treatments, why not contact K Govind Medical Aesthetics today on 01423 224696.
