Everything You Need to Know About FreezPen Cryotherapy for Flawless Summer Skin

Sunswirl Laser & Esthetics • May 19, 2026

Achieving radiant, flawless skin for summer in Dartmouth means more than just sunscreen and regular facials. With warmer months ahead, it's the perfect time to address everything from sun spots to skin tags so you can show off your best skin—whether you’re on the lakeshore, strolling the Dartmouth waterfront, or enjoying local summer festivals. One of the most effective, safe, and trending treatments at Sunswirl Laser & Esthetics is FreezPen cryotherapy. Here’s how this revolutionary treatment can help you achieve smooth, blemish-free skin all season long. 


What Is FreezPen Cryotherapy?


FreezPen cryotherapy is an advanced, non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to treat a variety of benign skin imperfections. It utilizes a precise jet of nitrous oxide at sub-zero temperatures to freeze and destroy unwanted skin cells—such as dark spots, warts, skin tags, moles, and more. Unlike harsh treatments or surgery, FreezPen cryotherapy offers zero downtime, minimal discomfort, and visibly beautiful results. 


FreezPen Cryotherapy: What Can It Treat?


Whether you’re hoping to freshen up your look for summer events or finally address long-standing skin concerns, FreezPen is an ideal solution for:


- Age spots and sun spots (perfect for reversing signs of sun exposure)

- Skin tags on the neck, underarms, eyelids, or body folds

- Warts and benign moles

- Cherry angiomas (red spots)

- Milia (tiny white bumps)

- Other benign skin lesions


With swimsuit season around the corner, many Dartmouth locals visit Sunswirl Laser & Esthetics to tidy up areas exposed by t-shirts, sundresses, and swimsuits for a confidence boost.


How Does FreezPen Cryotherapy Work?


FreezPen employs a narrow, controlled jet of nitrous oxide, which freezes water in targeted skin cells without damaging surrounding tissue. The treated area forms a temporary scab, which naturally falls off within a couple of weeks, revealing smooth, healthy skin beneath. Most people need two sessions for optimal results, and each session is quick—perfect for busy summer schedules.


What to Expect: Treatment Process and Aftercare


The experience at Sunswirl Laser & Esthetics is tailored for your comfort and safety:


- Consultation: Every treatment begins with a complimentary skin assessment to confirm candidacy and create a personalized plan.

- Treatment: The area is carefully cleansed, and the FreezPen device is applied for only a few seconds per spot.

- Aftercare: Temporary redness, mild swelling, or a sensation similar to a mild sunburn are common and subside quickly. Minimal aftercare is needed.

- Results: Expect visible improvement within two to three weeks as your skin renews itself.


After treatment, we recommend avoiding sun exposure and applying SPF to all treated areas—an essential rule for summer skincare in Nova Scotia.
