Lipo Freeze 2U – Cryopen Cryotherapy treatment sun damage skin treatment

How Sun Damage Treatment Bournemouth Works

The clinician directs the CryoPen applicator towards the selected area of skin and applies a controlled jet of cold gas. The exposure is adjusted according to the appearance and size of the spot being treated.

A short application is usually all that is needed for an individual spot, although the exact time depends on the lesion and the device protocol. The treated area may become red or swollen afterwards, and a blister or crust can develop as the skin heals.

 

WHAT IS CRYOPEN CRYOTHERAPY TREATMENT?

CryoPen is a form of targeted cryotherapy used to treat selected benign skin lesions. It applies extreme cold to the chosen area, causing controlled damage to the tissue being treated.

For sun-related pigmentation, treatment may be considered for confirmed solar lentigines (commonly called sun spots or age spots). It is not suitable for every type of sun damage. A rough, scaly patch or a spot that has changed in appearance needs medical assessment before any cosmetic removal is considered.

Benefits of Sun Damage Treatment Bournemouth

Precise Targeting of Pigmented Spots

The CryoPen directs cold towards the selected spot rather than treating a large area of skin. The clinician determines the treatment area after examining the pigmentation and checking that it is suitable for cryotherapy.

Fast, Non-Invasive Treatment

No surgical incision is involved. The cold application is brief, although you may notice a sharp cold sensation or stinging while the area is being treated.

Minimal Downtime & Natural Healing

The treated spot may darken, blister or develop a small crust. This usually settles as the skin heals over the following weeks. Avoid picking or scratching the area while it recovers.

Visible Improvement in Skin Clarity & Tone

Cryotherapy can reduce the appearance of selected benign pigmented spots. The final appearance depends on the original pigmentation, the treatment response and how the skin heals. Changes in skin colour can sometimes remain after treatment.

See the Visible Difference with CryoPen

The photographs below show examples of skin before and after CryoPen treatment. Individual responses differ, and the appearance of the treated area depends on the type of pigmentation, the skin’s healing response and the treatment performed.

The “before” images show the common signs of sun damage—darkened spots, uneven tone, and age-related pigmentation—while the “after” photos reveal noticeably brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.

 

When Will You See Results?

The treated spot may become darker before a small blister or crust develops. This is part of the local skin reaction to freezing. The crust usually comes away as the area heals, often within one to three weeks. Healing time varies with the size and location of the spot, and the final colour of the skin may take longer to settle.
 

Safe, Quick, and Highly Targeted

CryoPen applies cold directly to the selected skin lesion. Although the treatment is focused, some reaction in the surrounding area can occur. Blistering, temporary discomfort and changes in pigmentation are possible. The clinician will explain these risks and check that the spot is suitable before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Sun Damage Treatment Bournemouth

Can CryoPen remove all types of sun damage?

No. CryoPen is considered for selected benign skin spots, such as solar lentigines, after their nature has been assessed. Other changes caused by sun exposure may need different treatment. Rough or scaly patches, unusual pigmentation and spots that are growing or changing should be checked by a GP or dermatologist first. Cosmetic removal should not be attempted until any concerning lesion has been properly assessed.

This includes skin tags, seborrheic keratosis, Cherry angiomas, warts, age spots, and benign moles.

 

HOW DOES THE TREATMENT FEEL?

Most people notice a sharp cold sensation while the CryoPen is applied. The treated spot may sting for a short time afterwards and can feel itchy as it heals. A blister or small crust may appear during the next day or so. Leave it intact rather than trying to drain or remove it.
 

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SUN DAMAGE REMOVAL VIA CRYOTHERAPY?

Before treatment, the clinician will examine the area and ask about any changes you have noticed. They will discuss the proposed treatment, possible reactions and aftercare. If a spot looks unusual, has changed in shape or colour, or has not been medically assessed, cosmetic treatment should be postponed until a GP or dermatologist has checked it. The application time will depend on the individual spot and the device instructions.

 

CAN I EXPECT SIDE EFFECTS FROM SUN DAMAGE REMOVAL?

Some redness, swelling, stinging or blistering can occur after treatment. A crust may form as the area heals. In some cases, the treated skin becomes lighter or darker than the surrounding area, and scarring is also possible. Infection is uncommon but can occur if the skin is damaged or the area is not cared for properly. Follow the aftercare instructions and seek medical advice if the area becomes increasingly painful, develops discharge or appears infected.
