What does the treatment involve?

CryoPen

Depending on the ‘type’ of benign spot, it is treated with the CryoPen. This freezes unwanted tissue with liquid nitrogen. The freezing causes the tissue to die and naturally replaces healthy tissue.

At Huidzorg West, the CyroPen treatment is often combined with coagulation or curettage. For each benign skin spot, our skin therapists look at which treatment method is most suitable for this.

After the treatment, the skin will be red and slightly swollen. A scab will form on the treated skin, which will heal in 7-14 days.
