Care Advice for FreezPen® CryoTherapy

FreezPen® CryoTherapy at ME Aesthetics offers cutting-edge treatment for various skin conditions. Using extreme cold, FreezPen® targets lesions effectively. Pre and post-care are crucial to optimize results and minimize risks. Pre-care prepares the skin for treatment, while post-care ensures proper healing and reduces potential side effects. Trust our experts to guide you through comprehensive care for optimal skin transformation.

Pre-Care: Prepare for your upcoming treatment by following these precautions:

  • Avoid using retinols, exfoliating acids, or physical exfoliants on the treatment area for 48 hours prior to your session.
  • Refrain from applying fake tan or gradual tanner for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
  • Do not undergo laser/IPL treatments on the treatment area for at least 1 week prior. For verrucae and warts:
  • Soften and slightly open the skin covering these lesions by soaking them in warm, soapy water for 20 minutes and gently scrubbing with a pumice stone or emery board.

Aftercare: For the next 48-72 hours post-treatment:

  • Avoid sunbathing, heat treatments, hot showers, baths, swimming, makeup application, soap, perfumed products, heavy moisturizers, touching or cleansing the treatment area, and picking at any scabs.
  • Gently cleanse around the area and pat dry with a clean tissue/towel.

Side Effects: While FreezPen® Therapy is low-risk, some side effects may occur, including headaches, pigment changes, nerve damage, damage to hair follicles, blisters, and more. Follow aftercare instructions and contact us if needed.

Post-Treatment Information:

  • Lesions may darken and develop a crust before naturally falling away to reveal shiny pink skin, which will repigment over time.
  • Itching and discomfort are normal and can be managed without picking at the treated area.
  • Use SPF 50 sunscreen until repigmentation occurs, avoid picking at the crust, and contact us if the crust hasn’t fallen off after four weeks.
