Non surgical blemish removal
Actinic keratosis (AK) is a skin condition caused by long-term sun exposure.
It appears as scaly patches on the skin, usually on areas of the body most often exposed to the sun such as the face, ears, neck, scalp, lips and forearms.
While Actinic Keratosis itself is not cancerous, if left untreated it can lead to skin cancer.
Treatment involves topical creams or freezing techniques to remove the lesions.
Cryopen treatment is a form of cryotherapy which uses a fine jet of nitrous oxide to freeze and destroy actinic keratosis lesions.
Cryopen is safe and FDA approved.
The freezing effect of the treatment causes ice crystals to form between the cells, destroying them in the process.
It also helps to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, which helps to further reduce the size and visibility of any remaining lesions.
As an added bonus, Cryopen treatment can also reduce redness, itching, and other symptoms associated with actinic keratosis.
The Cryopen is an effective treatment for Actinic Keratosis (AK) , a precancerous skin condition. The Cryopen utilizes freezing temperatures to eliminate AK lesions.
This procedure can be done quickly and conveniently, without having to undergo any type of invasive surgery or anesthetic.
The primary benefit of using the Cryopen to treat Actinic Keratosis is that it can provide quick and effective removal of these lesions, while also minimizing risk factors associated with traditional surgical methods.

In addition to providing a safe and efficient treatment option for AK, the Cryopen also offers some cosmetic benefits.as the freezing technique used by the Cryopen helps to reduce inflammation associated with AK lesions and improve their overall appearance.
As a result, patients who undergo this type of treatment often experience more even-toned skin as well as improved texture and clarity after their treatment sessions are complete.
