Cryotherapy (CryoPen) for Benign Skin Lesions in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire
Cryotherapy (CryoPen)
• What is Cryotherapy?
CryoPen cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that safely removes many benign skin lesions, such as skin tags, seborrhoeic keratoses, cherry angiomas, age spots, solar lentigines, milia, viral warts, verrucae, moles, and other suitable non-cancerous lesions, using extreme cold.
The CryoPen delivers a precise jet of nitrous oxide to the lesion, cooling the tissue to around –89°C. This rapid freezing forms ice crystals inside the cells, destroying the unwanted tissue while minimising damage to surrounding healthy skin.
This treatment is suitable for both cosmetic concerns and lesions that cause irritation through rubbing on clothing or jewellery. At Restore Skin, we only treat lesions that are clinically appropriate, and we always prioritise your skin health over cosmetic treatment.
• How Cryotherapy Works
Who is it for?
CryoPen can be used to treat many benign lesions, including:

- Age spots
- Solar lentigines
- Milia

The facts
CryoPen works by applying a fine jet of nitrous oxide directly to the affected area. The extreme cold destroys unwanted tissue while preserving surrounding healthy skin.
Treatment lasts only a few seconds per lesion, and most appointments take between 15–30 minutes depending on the number of lesions being treated. Some larger or thicker lesions may require more than one treatment.
Cryotherapy is widely used in dermatology for spot removal and is a trusted option for skin tag removal, milia removal, wart treatment, and the reduction of benign pigmentation.
The immediate effect
Following treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, temporary blistering, or scab formation. These are normal healing responses.
The long-term effect
The treated lesion will gradually dry up and naturally fall away over the following days or weeks. CryoPen offers excellent cosmetic results with minimal downtime, making it a safe and effective choice for benign skin lesion removal in Leamington Spa.
