benign lesion removal
how we do it
Precision Cryotherapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses extreme cold to freeze benign lesions such as moles, skin tags, and warts
We use Nitrous Oxide - the safer alternative to liquid nitrogen - to freeze the lesion to -89℃. Our technology creates a focused jet of gas that targets only the lesion itself while avoiding damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. The treatment is very comfortable and only requires a few seconds of freezing.
benign lesions
-
skin tags
A skin tag is a type of soft fibroma which is usually found in areas where the skin forms creases. Skin tags can be observed in about 46% of adults and are assumed to arise from excessive skin friction, although genetics may also be associated with skin tags development.
-
age spots
Are harmless patches of darkened skin caused by hyperactive melanocytes and accumulation of melanin within skin cells. Age spot is mostly attributed to excessive exposure to UV radiation and cumulative damage to melanocytes which are exposed to prolonged stress.
-
molluscum
Molluscum is a contagious viral skin infection caused by the Molluscum contagiosum virus. Molluscum contagiosum is spread by direct contact with someone who has it or by touching an object contaminated with the virus, such as a towel or a piece of clothing.
-
milia
Milia is a cyst that forms when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin.
-
Moles
Moles are a benign skin growth that consists of a cluster of melanocytes.
-
fibroma
Is a benign tumor-like growth made mostly of fibrous connective tissue. Fibroma is uncontrolled cell growth that occurs for an unknown reason or as a result of injury or local irritation.
-
seborrheic keratosis
Seborrheic keratosis is a common skin growth that becomes more prevalent with age. The lesion appears gradually and may increase in size overtime.
-
common warts
Warts are typically large, rough and hard growths that are caused by infection with a type of human papilloma virus (HPV). Two of the main types are Common warts and Plantar warts.
-
cherry ANGIOMAS
Cheery Angioma is a benign growth that consists of a cluster of small blood vessels.
-
sebaceous hyperplasia
Sebaceous hyperplasia is a harmless skin condition that typically develops when sebaceous glands produce too much oil, which can then be trapped in clogged pores and cause bumps. The overproduction of sebum (oil) can be attributed to hyperplasia of sebaceous glands or hyperactivity of enlarged glands.

New skin growths (especially moles) are potentially malignant and need to be evaluated by a dermatologist first.

Generally, there is no post-treatment care regime and you may resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment. We do advise patients to apply healing ointments (such as Aquaphor) on the area of the treatment to speed up the healing process.
-
Although FreezPen cryotherapy is the safest treatment today for the removal of skin lesions, a few rare side effects may still occur. These side effects include:
Pigmentation – Temporary pigmentation is rare but possible because melanocytes are more susceptible to sub-zero temperatures. FreezPen minimizes the risk of collateral damage to healthy skin tissue, so the risk of pigmentation is minimized as well.
Blisters – temporary blisters may appear in the lesion area due to fluids that are released from destroyed lesion cells.
Hair loss – like melanocytes, hair follicles are more susceptible to sub-zero temperatures. Hair follicles in the treated area are more likely to be affected, thus hair may not grow back in the area of the lesion after cryotherapy.
