Molluscum Contagiosum Removal At A Glance
Everything you need to know before your consultation
What Is Molluscum Contagiosum Removal?
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection caused by a poxvirus. It shows up as small, firm, dome-shaped bumps, often pearly white or pink, usually two to five millimetres across, with a tiny dimple in the centre. Because the virus passes easily from skin to skin, scratching or rubbing a spot can quickly spread it to nearby skin or to other people.
Our removal treatment targets the spots directly. Using CryoPen, we apply a precise burst of intense cold to freeze and break down each infected bump while protecting the surrounding healthy skin. Over the following week or two, the treated spots crust over and naturally flake away, leaving clearer, smoother skin behind. It is a quick, walk-in, walk-out procedure that lets you get on with your day straightaway.

How Does Molluscum Contagiosum Removal Work?
A careful, precise method that protects the healthy skin around each spot
Your treatment begins with a careful assessment. One of our medical professionals examines the spots to confirm they are molluscum contagiosum and checks that clinical removal is suitable for you. We then clean the area and, if needed, apply a mild topical numbing cream for comfort.
Using the precise CryoPen applicator, the practitioner targets the centre of each bump, freezing the viral tissue while leaving the surrounding healthy skin undisturbed. The spots may look slightly pink or frosted straight afterwards. You can leave our London clinic straightaway, and over the next couple of weeks the treated spots heal and drop off on their own.
