Skin Lesion Removal At A Glance
Everything you need to know before your consultation
What Is Skin Lesion Removal?
Skin lesion removal clears away small, harmless growths on your skin, such as skin tags, warts, verrucas, age spots, milia, and seborrhoeic keratoses. We use CryoPen, an advanced device that sends a fine, controlled stream of nitrous oxide straight onto the lesion. The deep cold breaks down the unwanted tissue, and over the next week or two the lesion dries up, crusts over and drops off on its own, revealing fresh, smooth skin underneath.

How Do We Perform Skin Lesion Removal?
A precise, gentle method that targets each lesion directly
We keep the whole thing simple and comfortable. First, we check your lesion to make sure freezing is the right option. Next, we cleanse the area and hold the CryoPen close to the skin. The device releases a short, precise burst of nitrous oxide that freezes only the lesion, sparing the healthy skin around it. You will feel a brief cold or tingling sensation that fades within a minute. Most lesions take just a few seconds to treat, and you can head straight back to your day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most people find it very easy. You feel a short burst of cold, a bit like a cold pen pressing on the skin, with no needles and no cutting. Any tingling settles within a minute.
There is little to no downtime so that you can get straight back to your day. The treated lesion darkens, crusts over and drops off on its own over the following one to three weeks.
CryoPen is great for benign skin tags, warts, verrucas, age and sun spots, milia and seborrhoeic keratoses. Moles are always assessed first, and we will treat them only after we are sure they are harmless.
Yes. Once a lesion is frozen and falls away, it does not grow back in that spot. If you are prone to certain growths, new ones can still appear elsewhere over time.
CryoPen is very safe. You might notice a little redness, mild swelling or a small blister for a short while. Because the treatment is so precise, the healthy skin around the lesion stays well protected.
