Your CryoPen Experience

- Duration: Depending on the size and location of the lesion, treatment can last from 5 seconds to 45 seconds.
- Process: The CryoPen delivers a controlled dose of nitrous oxide, freezing the lesion. A cold sensation followed by a slight sting indicates the freezing process is complete.
- Comfort: Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, and no anaesthesia is typically required.
- Healing Process: The treated lesion will form a scab and fall off naturally within 1-2 weeks. You can resume normal activities immediately.
- Follow-Up: In some cases, a follow-up visit may be recommended to ensure complete removal, particularly for larger warts.
