A cryotherapy pen is a handheld device used to apply controlled freezing to targeted skin tissue.
The CryoPen® Cryosurgery System uses liquefied nitrous oxide delivered through a pen-shaped device and precision applicators. The practitioner directs the nitrous oxide towards the lesion, allowing the treatment area to be targeted without unnecessarily freezing the surrounding skin.
CryoPen® is designed for professional cryosurgery treatment of benign skin lesions on the face and body.
Want to understand the different CryoPen® devices?
There are three main CryoPen® models available, giving clinics a choice based on practitioner type and the treatments they intend to offer.
Designed for aesthetic practitioners and professionals treating superficial benign skin lesions.
It provides a focused treatment range for clinics looking to introduce CryoPen® treatments into an aesthetic service.
A professional CryoPen® designed for a wider range of lesion sizes, including larger lesions such as warts and verrucae.
CryoPen® O+ is for medical professional use only.
CryoPen® XP provides a wider treatment range and precise nitrous oxide delivery for professionals who require greater flexibility across different lesion sizes.
It is designed for use by specified medical and aesthetic professionals.
The right CryoPen® depends on more than the appearance of the device.
Before choosing a cryotherapy pen, consider:
The CryoPen® brochure provides a more detailed breakdown of the available models so you can review the differences before deciding which device is suitable for your clinic.
CryoPen® is designed for the cryosurgery treatment of benign skin lesions. Examples of lesions within the CryoPen® treatment range include:
The appropriate treatment and practitioner requirements depend on the lesion being assessed and the CryoPen® model being used.
Practitioners should be confident that a lesion is suitable for treatment before proceeding. Where there is uncertainty about a lesion, further medical assessment should be sought rather than treating it.
CryoPen® delivers an ultra-cold jet of pressurised nitrous oxide directly towards the targeted lesion.
The freezing process affects the intercellular fluid within the treated tissue. Ice crystals form and disrupt the cell membrane, destroying the targeted cells.
Different applicators allow the practitioner to control the treatment diameter according to the size and shape of the lesion.
Its pen-like design also allows controlled handling when working on small or harder-to-reach treatment areas.
CryoPen® has been designed around controlled application rather than broad freezing of the treatment area.
Different applicators allow the flow of nitrous oxide to be matched more closely to the size of the lesion.
The handheld design gives practitioners direct control over the position and movement of the device during treatment.
The CryoPen® range allows clinics to choose a device according to practitioner type and the range of lesions they plan to treat.
CryoPen® uses disposable nitrous oxide cartridges within a compact handheld system, making it suitable for professional clinic environments.
One of the main differences between CryoPen® devices is the applicator range available.
Applicators control the diameter and flow of nitrous oxide delivered towards the treatment area, allowing practitioners to select an appropriate option for different lesion sizes.
The available CryoPen® applicator range covers treatment diameters from small 1mm areas through to larger lesions, depending on the device selected.
The number and range of applicators vary between CryoPen® models.
For the full applicator guide and device compatibility, download the CryoPen® brochure.
CryoPen® devices use disposable nitrous oxide cartridges.
Different CryoPen® models use different cartridge formats, so cartridge compatibility should be considered when choosing your device and when planning the ongoing operation of your Cryotherapy service.
CryoPen® cartridges and consumables are available separately for existing device owners.
Training forms an important part of introducing CryoPen® treatments into professional practice.
CryoPen® training combines theory learning with practical training and is available through training venues across the UK.
Training is included with CryoPen® device packages, helping practitioners understand the device, treatment principles and practical application before introducing the treatment into their clinic.
The suitability of a particular CryoPen® model still depends on your professional background and intended scope of treatment.
Before investing in a professional cryotherapy pen, it helps to understand exactly what you will be able to offer and which device matches your practice.
The CryoPen® brochure covers the information that is difficult to assess from a product card alone.
Use it to review the range before deciding which CryoPen® is right for your clinic.
