Say No to Dark Spots with FreezPen Cryotherapy

July 1, 2022

Dark spots are obvious on the face, and they take away from people noticing your beautiful facial features. Those who have these spots are often very conscious and uncomfortable about these pigmented areas.


There are several treatments for dark spots, but many have proven to be ineffective, too pricey, or require excessive downtime. FreezPen cryotherapy is the new proven method to rid yourself of dark facial spots effectively and safely. This article will answer questions such as “what is cryotherapy”, its benefits, and how it works.


What is FreezPen cryotherapy?


FreezPen cryotherapy is a popular treatment for skin lesions, moles, skin tags, and of course, dark spots. FreezPen cryotherapy freezes the fluid inside the specific cells using extremely cold gas. This causes the cell to painlessly burst and release the pigment allowing for a new cell to regrow. The process is quick and requires no downtime.


What areas does it focus on?


FreezPen cryotherapy can treat skin lesions on any part of the body. This treatment can get rid of skin tags, dark spots, keratosis, age spots, warts, milia, fibromas, moles, and angiomas without traces.


How the treatment works


The FreezPen releases cold gas jet to freeze the skin lesion. As the lesion freezes, the water inside it expands and destroys the membrane. This process destroys the lesioned skin cell and allows for a new and healthy cell to regenerate in its place. The procedure feels like a slight pinch and there is no need for anesthesia.


The treatment of one lesion can last for about 5 minutes and you can treat several small lesions in a single session. Large lesions require multiple treatments.


Most lesions take 2 to 4 weeks to fall off. The treated area may be red and swollen immediately after the treatment. You may also develop temporary small blisters if you have sensitive skin.


This treatment is suitable for most healthy individuals but is not recommended while pregnant or breastfeeding. Those who have had dermal fillers, botox, lasers, and facials will need to wait for at least 1-week before receiving this treatment. 


The specialist will encourage you to avoid using retinol, Aspirin®, or other blood thinners at least 1-week before the treatment. If you are taking Accutane®, you will need to stop for at least 6-months before getting the FreezPen cryotherapy treatment.


You can resume your normal activities after the treatment although you must avoid sunbathing, tanning beds, and using tanning creams for 2-weeks after this treatment.


The benefits


FreezPen cryotherapy benefits are many which make it the standout treatment for various skin issues. The most prominent benefit is that it is proven to be effective in the treatment of skin lesions without a need for downtime or anesthesia. 


The treatment does not leave scars or marks on the skin despite removing all traces of dark spots or other skin issues. The treatment also comes with minimal discomfort and can be more cost-effective than other options on the market.
