Cryopen

Now that you have completed your Cryopen treatment, here are a few tips for aftercare

• Application of SPF 30 (minimum) is essential (but remember, this is ALWAYS essential). We can recommend a sunscreen suitable for your skin type
• Blistering may occur within a couple of hours, do not burst!
• Keep the treated area dry, pat dry after showering
• The lesion will go crusty before flaking off, avoid picking
• Aloe Vera can be applied to the surrounding area if required
• Swelling may occur temporarily post treatment for skintag removal
• Do not cover lesion if possible
• Inflammation may occur this is normal

Please be aware that, although a rare occurrence, after Cryopen you may experience the following:

Nerve damage – though rare, it is possible for nerve damage to occur, particularly in areas where the nerves lie closer to the surface of the skin, such as the fingers, the wrist and the area behind the ear.

Reports suggest that this will disappear within several months.
