Is Cryotherapy Safe? Everything you need to know about CryoPen treatment in London

Do you struggle with small but frustrating skin concerns? Such as skin tags, warts, verrucas, age spots, actinic keratosis, milia, cherry angiomas or sun damage? If you’ve been searching for a safe, non-surgical way to remove them, cryotherapy could be the answer. At Skin Perfection London, our team specialises in state-of-the-art skin treatments that deliver visible results while keeping your safety and comfort at the heart of everything we do.

What is CryoPen Cryotherapy?

CryoPen™ is a precision medical device used in cryotherapy (freezing treatment) to remove unwanted skin lesions quickly and effectively.

The CryoPen works by releasing nitrous oxide gas at extremely cold temperatures (around -80°C).
This creates tiny ice crystals inside the targeted skin cells, breaking their membranes and destroying abnormal tissue.
Because the CryoPen is so precise, it treats only the lesion while leaving surrounding healthy skin untouched.

The treatment is fast, virtually painless, and requires minimal recovery time, making it an attractive alternative to surgical removal.

Is Cryotherapy safe?

Yes. Cryotherapy is a medically recognised and widely proven procedure.

The CryoPen device is CE-marked in Europe and FDA-approved in the United States, meaning it has been rigorously tested for both safety and effectiveness.
Compared to many traditional methods of removing skin lesions, cryotherapy with CryoPen carries fewer risks and less downtime.
The treatment avoids cutting, burning, or invasive techniques, reducing the risk of scarring or infection.

At Skin Perfection, we use CryoPen because it combines safety, precision, and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
