Cryo pen therapy works by applying extreme cold to the lesion, which destroys the abnormal tissue. This freezing process typically causes the lesion to blister and eventually fall off.

Post-treatment, the area may be red, swollen, or blistered. These effects usually subside within a few days, and care instructions will be provided for optimal healing.
When will I see results?
Results can be immediate, with the lesion starting to fall off within a week or so after treatment. Full healing may take a few weeks, depending on the individual.
