What to expect at your treatment
At your treatment we will carry out a consultation to make sure the treatment is suitable for you. The application of the Cryopen uses a highly controlled jet of liquid nitrous oxide to the skin which freezes and destroys the unwanted tissues of a blemish. Application time depends of the size and depth of the blemish but is generally between 3-30 seconds.
Aftercare
-
It is normal for the area to appear like a small burn afterwards, it may be red, swollen and tender. There may be mild blistering, scabbing, crusting or leakage of fluid. If you are concerned about healing or the skin's appearance, you must contact your practitioner.
-
If a larger blister forms or a blood blister, then please seek advice from your practitioner. If a blister bursts, use a simple anti-septic cream such as Savlon. The area will naturally scab over, with the scabs falling off at 2-3 weeks.
-
Keep the treated area clean and dry afterwards, wash using soap and water and dry by gently dabbing with a clean towel.
-
Apply Vaseline or an antiseptic cream to the treated area twice daily for 2 weeks.
-
If blisters scab over, do not pick them as this can encourage scarring.
-
Leave the treated area undressed (to the open air) unless clothing is irritating the treated area, in which case a plaster can be applied.
-
The treated area might be slightly sore afterwards, if needed you can take some simple over the counter pain killers such as paracetamol.
-
The healing process may take up to 6 weeks.
-
You must seek medical attention and contact your practitioner if you experience any signs or symptoms of infection after treatment. Infection can present as hot, red shiny skin, there may be pus formation and you may have a fever or feel generally unwell.
