Cryotherapy is a procedure that utilizes extreme cold to destroy unwanted tissue. The process is called “Cryo-necrosis” – tissue destruction by rapid freezing.

1. Rapidly and precisely freezes the unwanted skin tag.
2. Water in the lesion cells will freeze, expand and rupture the cell membrane.
3. Targeted lesion cells are destroyed, and the lesion disappears after healing.

It usually takes no more than 5-10 minutes per skin tag. The duration of the treatment also depends on the number of treated skin tags, the number of freeze-thaw cycles and the duration of freezing.

As many as you like. There is no limit on the number of lesions per session.

Your lesion is expected to fall off 2-4 weeks after the treatment. Some skin tags are more persistent and may take longer to disappear.

Most skin tags require one treatment. Large skin tags, may require 1-2 follow up treatments.

Immediately after. FreezPen treatments involve zero downtime.

Immediately after treatment, the area treated might become red, swollen and sensitive to touch. Some patients may develop temporary blisters (clear, red or purple) in the lesion area due to the accumulation of cellular fluids. Some redness may remain for a couple of weeks, but the skin will continue to heal and return to its original colour.
