Cryotherapy or Cryosurgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used to freeze and destroy benign skin lesions.
It uses liquified nitrogen oxide to destroy the tissue by freezing the cell fluid which in turn forms ice shards that rupture the cell membrane in turn destroying the cell and the lesion.
Cryotherapy is beneficial as it is quicker than other treatments and patients can be in and out in minutes! it requires no anaesthesia and has minimal scarring.
First Freeze cycle
The clinician will hold the applicator as close as possible to the lesion, and move it quickly towards and away from it. Depending on the lesion size and depth the treatment could be 1 to 30 seconds
Thaw
After the first freezing cycle, the tissue will be allowed to thaw for about 30 seconds.
Second freeze cycle
The second freeze cycle will start.
The tissue will freeze faster than during the first cycle. Cryopen therapy can treat all common benign akin lesions including age spots, warts, skin tags, verrucas and many more.
We use our facial muscles to speak, eat, and communicate emotion on a daily basis.
Overtime, wrinkles tend to form in the areas that we utilize most often, such as frown lines on the forehead, smile lines on the cheeks and crow’s feet around the eyes. Anti-wrinkle injections relaxes the facial muscles that lie beneath these areas, causing the lines to gradually smooth out while simultaneously preventing new lines from forming.
Face: primarily used to eliminate the wrinkles on the forehead, brow area and around the eyes.
Face shape: provides a slimmer, more feminine jaw line by reducing the size of the jaw muscles, making them appear less prominentNeck: reduces horizontal and vertical lines in the neck.
After an injection, it takes approximately 3 to 7 days for the treatment to take effect. The full results last between 3 to 6 months before lines slowly begin to return. It usually takes longer for the results of jaw remodelling to take effect, however, these results last an average of 6 months.
