cryopen Cryotherapy
what is cryopen therapy?
A fast, modern, and precise way to remove common skin imperfections safely and comfortably. This advanced form of targeted cryotherapy uses ultra-cold nitrous oxide to freeze away unwanted blemishes such as skin tags, warts, and other skin blemishes with minimal discomfort and no damage to surrounding skin.
Cryopen treatments are now performed by our skilled practitioners at SKINLAB offering a quick, effective alternative to traditional blemish removal. Whether you’re looking to treat a small skin tag or multiple pigmentation spots, Cryopen Therapy delivers clear, smooth results in just seconds.

Cryopen Therapy is one of the most advanced and clinically proven ways to treat benign skin lesions. Using a high-pressure microjet of nitrous oxide (N₂O) at -89°C, it freezes the affected area with pinpoint accuracy. This process destroys only the unwanted tissue, allowing your healthy skin to remain untouched and heal naturally.
Most blemishes are treated in under 10 seconds, and visible results are typically seen after one or two sessions. Thanks to its precision and safety, Cryopen can be used on sensitive areas such as the face, neck, and around the eyes.
Unlike full-body or cold-water cryotherapy, which focus on systemic cooling, Cryopen Therapy is a targeted medical-aesthetic treatment designed exclusively for localised blemish removal. It’s ideal for anyone seeking a quick, safe, and non-invasive solution for clearer skin.
We combine this modern technology with extensive expertise to ensure every client receives the most suitable treatment for their skin type and concern.

It’s all about the consultation
Sterex vs cryopen
We’re proud to offer two highly effective blemish removal options: Sterex and CryoPen. Both treatments achieve excellent results, but the right choice depends on your skin type, comfort preference, and the nature of the lesion being treated.
Sterex (advanced electrolysis) uses a fine probe to cauterise the blemish, offering precise control and excellent results for conditions such as skin tags, milia, thread veins, and seborrhoeic keratosis. It’s a tried-and-tested method suitable for clients with more delicate or sensitive skin.
Cryopen Therapy (targeted cryotherapy) uses ultra-cold nitrous oxide to freeze away lesions in seconds. It’s perfect for those seeking a faster, modern, and minimally invasive treatment with minimal aftercare.
Your practitioner will advise which method is best suited to your skin during your consultation and in some cases, a combination of both techniques may be used to achieve the best outcome.
