The presence of spots like moles, lesion, skin tag, age tag, etc. on the skin makes a person unhappy. They might be exploring the options to get rid of those spots. One such effective option is cryosurgery. Cryosurgery can treat a variety of skin problems and lesions permanently. The procedure is carried out by Freezpen, which is a powerful cryosurgery instrument that completely treat lesions and skin spots in seconds.
What is Cryosurgery?
The term Cryosurgery refers to controlled demolition of abnormal skin tissue with the help of extreme cold. It is widely regarded as the gold standard for removal of lesions in dermatology.
Cryosurgery uses Nitrous Oxide, which is an extremely cold liquid to freeze and destroy the unwanted skin tissue. This technique is in use for a longer period of time using cold water, but modern technologies has made it more precise and efficient.
What is Freezpen?
Freezpen is a state of the art instrument used to deliver a precise stream of highly compressed liquid nitrous oxide over the desired area of skin. It allows the dermatologist to remove the lesions in a matter of few seconds.
How Does it Works?
The procedure is carried by Freezepen, which uses nitrous oxide cartridges. The gas is stored at a pressure of 55-bar in the cartridge. When the pressure is released, the temperature of the nitrous oxide reaches -89 degree Celsius by thermodynamic process.
During application the Freezpen is placed over the affected area of the skin and the gas is released at the temperature of -89 degree Celsius. This creates a thermal shock over the affected area and freeze the region. When the skin freezes the water molecules present in the skin crystalizes and starts to expand. This expansion burst the unwanted tissue and kills them. The dead cells are eliminated from the skin in few weeks by our body’s natural mechanism.
Treatment Procedure
The Freezpen is kept close to the desired area of the skin and moved back and forth for a few seconds depending on the nature and depth of the lesion. Most of the lesions can be removed in the first cycle itself but if the lesion is much deeper, a second cycle is repeated after a gap of 30 seconds from the first cycle.
Why Freezpen
It can be able to penetrate up to 5mm depth under the skin, making it as a versatile machine. This deep penetration helps it to treat a wide variety of skin conditions like moles, lesions, age tag, etc.
The high precision tip allows the Freezpen to treat the target tissues with pin point accuracy. This ensures that there is no disturbance to the healthy cells around the affected portion of skin.
It comes with two applicator tips. The tip with a diameter of 1-3 mm can be used to treat the areas where is precision is on high priority and has a flow time of 110-140 seconds. The tip with a diameter of 2-6 mm can be used to treat the affected area which has large surface area. This tip has a flow time of 80-100 seconds.
Freezpen does not need to be in contact with the skin to be effective. It can be comfortably used by keeping the tip nearer to the skin without making any contact.
The device is very simple in nature, thanks to its single button operation. The light weight and handy characters makes it to be portable easily. The nitrous oxide cartridges can also be loaded easily.
What to expect after treatment.
After treatment, it is normal to experience a tingling sensation which will last for an hour. The treated area may turn a little reddish and a sore is formed. A scab will be formed on the sore over the period of time. The scab gets resolved in few weeks and the skin turn back to normal. It is important not to peel the scab as this may damage the tissue and create marks on the skin. Generally a follow up will be made to find any further treatment is necessary.
Does the treatment is permanent?
For most of the lesions and skin spots, the removal is permanent. The only thing is, some are harder to remove. In more delicate places such as face, a shorter freeze time with repeated cycle is used to minimize the damage in the surrounding areas. Foe deep lesions several sittings may be required to get the final results.
