It is recommended to have a consultation before the treatment. The consultation is conducted at Sf-cliniken to ensure that the lesions to be removed, such as actinic keratosis, seborrheic warts, vascular lesions, and dermatofibromas, are benign. If the lesion requires pathological examination and is relatively large, it is recommended to remove it surgically at Sf-cliniken.
The Dermapen Cryo device can effectively treat most skin changes, such as keratoses, freckles, moles, warts, cherry angiomas, and seborrheic warts.
In the Dermapen Cryo treatment, a precise applicator freezes the benign skin change within seconds. One of the advantages of this treatment is its speed. In addition to speed, the treatment offers precision and comfort. The accuracy of the applicator targets only the treated area, and the goal is to avoid healthy skin. For this reason, the treatment is safe even for areas on the face and around the eyes, although the location of skin changes around the eyes ultimately determines the best removal method.
After the treatment, some pain may occur for a few hours. The skin may be red and slightly swollen. A blister will form at the treated site, which will turn into a scab. During the scabbing phase, the treated area can be treated with a designated ointment. The treated area should not be manipulated mechanically by the patient.
Healing takes 1–4 weeks. Intense freezing may result in a depigmented spot on the skin, but permanent scarring is very rare.
The treatment is superficial, so it is possible for the skin change to grow back. In clinical studies, 70–80% of keratoses heal with a single treatment. The healing rate for warts is reported to be 80%, but within six months, at least 20% of warts may recur.
