Cryopen Wart and Verruca Removal
What is Cryopen?
​
Cryopen is a device that uses extremely cold temperatures to remove warts and verrucas. The device sprays liquid nitrogen onto the affected area, freezing the cells and causing them to die off. This treatment is often used as an alternative to traditional surgical methods.
​
How does it work?
​
Cryopen works by using liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy the cells in the wart or verruca. The extreme cold temperature causes the cells to burst and eventually fall off. This treatment is quick and relatively painless, and most people can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
​
What are the benefits?
​
The benefits of Cryopen include:
-
Quick and painless treatment
-
No need for anesthesia or stitches
-
Minimal scarring
-
High success rates
-
No downtime or recovery time
Is it safe?
​
Cryopen is a safe and effective treatment for warts and verrucas. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks involved. These may include redness, swelling, blistering, and temporary numbness or tingling in the treated area. The prescribing pharmacist will discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure with you before the treatment.
​
Who is a good candidate?
​
Cryopen is suitable for most people with warts or verrucas, including those with sensitive skin.
Our prescribing pharmacist will assess your individual situation and determine if Cryopen is right for you.
​
How many treatments are needed?
​
The number of treatments required will depend on the size and location of the wart or verruca. In most cases, only one treatment is needed. However, larger warts or verrucas may require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart.
