Cryotherapy
A Renew Classic Treatment
Cryotherapy is recognised as a no-pain treatment with no preparation and no follow up care required. CryoPen is the effective and controlled destruction of unwanted tissue by the precise application of extreme cold. A session of cryotherapy usually takes 5-15 minutes. If cryotherapy hasn’t been successful within three months, further treatments aren’t likely to be effective.
How does the CryoPen work?
Liquid nitrogen is applied to the area for a few seconds to freeze and destroy the affected skin cells. After treatment, a sore blister will form, followed by a scab, which will fall off 7-10 days later.
