Cryopen uses a fine probe to deliver a precise burst of nitrous oxide, freezing unwanted skin lesions at extremely low temperatures. The healthy skin around them is left alone. It's a quick, low-fuss way to deal with skin tags, warts, verrucae, age spots, milia and similar concerns without surgery, cutting or stitches.
Book Your Cryopen Treatment
The probe applies freezing only to the lesion itself. The surrounding skin isn't affected, which matters particularly for anything on the face or in a prominent location.
Each lesion takes a matter of seconds to treat. No anaesthetic, no cutting, no complicated preparation. The appointment is usually over in 30 minutes.
Skin tags, warts, verrucae, age spots, milia, superficial moles and other benign lesions. One treatment approach, a lot of different applications.
It falls off naturally as the treated tissue dies and the skin heals. There's no picking required and no wound to manage in the way there would be with a surgical removal.
Your appointment starts with a consultation where we examine the lesion, confirm it's suitable for cryotherapy, and explain what to expect. During treatment, the probe is held close to or gently against the lesion for a few seconds. You'll feel an intense cold sensation, possibly with some stinging. It's brief but noticeable. Most sessions run around 30 minutes depending on how many lesions are being treated. Straight after, the treated area goes white, then red, and may develop a small blister. Over the following days it darkens, scabs and eventually falls off. Full healing takes 1 to 4 weeks depending on the type and location of the lesion. Some lesions need a second or third treatment spaced a few weeks apart.
Cryopen typically heals cleanly with little or no scarring, particularly when aftercare instructions are followed. The precision of the probe helps keep the treatment zone small.
Most lesions that would previously have required a GP or dermatologist visit for removal can be treated here without a surgical referral or an incision.
There's no recovery period to factor in. Most people go straight back to their day after treatment. The healing happens in the background over the following weeks.
Private surgical removal of skin tags or lesions tends to be considerably more expensive. Cryopen delivers comparable outcomes at a lower price point.

After 20 years, we've made thousands of friends. Here's what a few of them have to say about their time with us.
"I actually booked this appointment for my mum as an early mother's day present. She had the Japanese head spa experience and she absolutely loved it. Said how lovely and soft her hair felt and how relaxing it was and cant wait to get herself booked in again. And Helena was really lovely and made her feel really welcome and comfortable. I have now got myself booked in for the same treatment as it sounds amazing. "

"Thank you to Laura, this is the first time I have had skin boosters, Laura was very professional and went through any questions that I had, she made me feel at ease and constantly checked it to see I was feeling ok. Laura went through the whole process so I new exactly what was happening and let me know I can contact her with any questions. Thank you Laura Its only been 24 hours, I have had some lumps at the point of injection points but these are going down, Laura explained this could appear, so far I am happy with the treatment, I'm looking forward to further results over the next couple of days. Many thanks Louise "

"I’ve been having the CACI facial and Emma is brilliant. Not only is it a nice relaxing treatment, it’s given my face more elasticity and reduced my jowliness and smile lines. I didn’t actually book it for cosmetic reasons. I have temperomandibular disorder and my disc in the jaw joint is displaced, this has caused some nerve damage. I read about CACI for Bell’s palsy and wondered if it might help my TMD. I’m usually in pain most days but after 6 treatments my pain has almost disappeared and a couple of days ago the disc finally clicked back into place! I couldn’t believe it. This treatment has absolutely been worth the money. Emma is really lovely too! "

"Had a fabulous hot stone massage followed by a facial. Just the right amount of pressure on my lower back. Included my fave, a scalp massage. Left feeling welcomed, pampered and totally relaxed. What more can you ask? Thank you Kimberley, see you again sometime!"
