CryoPen Lesion Removal

CryoPen Lesion Removal uses localised cryosurgery — controlled freezing — to treat selected benign skin lesions at Skin Laine in Ballina. Unlike whole-body cryotherapy chambers used in sports recovery, CryoPen is a precise clinic treatment aimed at individual growths such as skin tags and warts. The device applies extreme cold through a fine applicator so surrounding healthy skin is spared as much as possible. Treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and usually involves little downtime when aftercare is followed. ## Who it is for CryoPen suits clients bothered by benign lesions that catch on clothing or affect confidence — after we confirm the lesion does not need medical investigation. Our wider clinic offering also describes cryotherapy for safe removal of selected skin lesions alongside laser and clinical skin services. ## How it works Cold rapidly freezes cells within the lesion, interrupting its blood supply and leading the tissue to die and shed naturally. You may see darkening, blistering, or scabbing — normal healing stages that resolve over days to weeks. Multiple lesions can often be treated in one appointment when clinically appropriate. ## What we treat Typical indications include skin tags (acrochordons), common warts (verrucae), and some superficial keratin lesions or benign growths. CryoPen is not suitable for lesions that may be malignant or require dermatology review. ## When treatment is not recommended We may defer CryoPen for suspicious lesions, poor wound healing (such as uncontrolled diabetes), bleeding disorders, active infection in the area, cold intolerance, certain autoimmune skin conditions, or pregnancy as a relative contraindication. Consultation is mandatory before treatment. ## Consultation first If you are unsure whether a lesion is safe to treat, book assessment first. We will advise on CryoPen versus referral and give clear healing expectations for your skin.
