Cryotherapy FAQ's

Q. What is cryotherapy?

A. Cryotherapy is a process that rapidly freezes skin tissue to destroy it. CryoPen utilises controlled high-pressure Nitrous Oxide (N2O) directly to the lesion to freeze the interstitial fluid leading to Cryo-necrosis.
The use of Nitrous Oxide (N2O) and the precision of CryoPen allow us to remove unwanted lesions without damage to the surrounding healthy tissue.
