What is CryoPen®?

CryoPen® is a quick, safe and effective treatment that uses a fine jet of nitrous oxide to freeze and remove unwanted skin lesions. It works with precision, targeting only the lesion without damaging the surrounding healthy skin.

What Can CryoPen® Remove?

CryoPen® is suitable for treating:

• Skin tags

• Age spots / liver spots (benign lentigines)

• Cherry angiomas (red spots)

• Warts and verrucas

• Solar keratosis (sun spots)

• Small benign moles (after confirmation of benign nature)

Safety First: Map My Mole

At Sarah Hunt Aesthetics, your safety is always my priority.
Before treating any pigmented lesion, we use Map My Mole, a mole mapping and dermatoscope service run by dermatology specialists. This ensures that any mole or pigmented lesion is assessed and confirmed as benign before removal with CryoPen®.

Suspicious or cancerous lesions will not be treated and will be referred back to your GP or dermatologist.

Who is CryoPen® Suitable For?

 Most adults looking for safe removal of benign lesions.
Not suitable if you:

​

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Have uncontrolled diabetes or poor wound healing

• Have active skin infections in the treatment area

• Have suspicious/undiagnosed lesions (these require GP/dermatology referral first)

Before Your Appointment

• Avoid applying creams, lotions, or makeup on the area to be treated.

• Please let your practitioner know about your full medical history, medications, and any skin conditions.

• Ensure any moles or pigmented lesions have been checked via Map My Mole or your GP/dermatologist.

Aftercare Advice

• The treated area may blister, scab, or appear darker before healing — this is normal.

• Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.

• Avoid picking, scratching, or rubbing the area.

• Protect the skin from sun exposure with SPF 30+ until fully healed.

• Healing usually takes 2–6 weeks depending on the lesion and individual skin type.

Results

CryoPen® treatment is highly effective, often requiring only one session. Some lesions may need a follow-up treatment for best results.
