CryoPen Treatments in Andover
Safe, Fast, and Effective Removal of Benign Skin Lesions
At Dr Malaika Clinics in Andover, we provide CryoPen treatments for the removal of benign skin lesions. Skin lesions—areas of skin that differ in colour, texture, or elevation from surrounding skin—are common, and it’s important to have them professionally assessed before treatment.
We have both a Heine dermatoscope and a MoleScope2 to examine lesions and refer patients back to their GP or dermatology for urgent review if we suspect anything concerning. We also offer mole mapping services in partnership with MapMyMole.
Common Benign Lesions Treated with CryoPen
- Moles
- Warts and verrucae
- Skin tags
- Birthmarks
- Age spots and solar lentigo
- Actinic keratosis
- Milia
Important: Some lesions can appear similar to malignant lesions such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. These should only be removed via excision by a dermatologist.
How CryoPen Works
- CryoPen uses a fine stream of nitrous oxide to freeze the lesion.
- Freezing causes the cell membrane to rupture, destroying unwanted tissue.
- Most lesions drop away within 5–10 days, leaving a slightly pink or pale area of new skin that evens out over time.
- Some lesions may require more than one treatment for complete removal.
