CryoPen® Cryotherapy– Skin Tag, Wart and Lesion Removal in Inverness and the Highlands.
Cryotherapy
How cryotherapy works
The CryoPen® uses a fine jet of nitrous oxide gas to freeze the affected tissue in a controlled and precise way. As the lesion is treated, it will briefly turn white as it freezes. This process destroys the unwanted cells, allowing the body to naturally remove them over time.
The treatment is very quick, typically lasting only a few seconds per lesion, making it an ideal option for those looking for an efficient and convenient solution.

Cryotherapy
Everything you need to know
Comfortable and minimally invasive
Cryotherapy is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure. Most clients experience only a mild stinging or warm sensation during treatment, and it is generally very well tolerated without the need for anaesthetic. Following the procedure, the area may appear slightly red or sensitive for a short time as the skin begins its natural healing process.
We offer tailored treatment plans
Each skin concern is unique, and some lesions may require more than one session to achieve the best possible result. During your consultation, we will assess the area, explain the expected outcomes, and create a personalised treatment plan based on your individual needs.
Your safety and skin health are always our priority, and we ensure that the treatment is suitable for you before proceeding.
Supporting your overall skin health
Cryotherapy is often combined with other treatments as part of a wider skin health or foot care plan. By addressing the underlying cause and supporting the surrounding tissue, we aim to achieve long-lasting and effective results.
Professional care in a calm, supportive environment
At Oakwood Mind & Body, your comfort and confidence are at the heart of everything we do. From your initial consultation through to aftercare advice, you will receive clear guidance and professional support every step of the way.
If you are looking for a fast, precise, and reliable way to remove skin tags, verrucae, or warts, cryotherapy offers a clinically proven solution with minimal disruption to your daily life.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Is CryoPen® cryotherapy treatment painful?
Most people experience a brief stinging or cold sensation during treatment. Any discomfort is usually short-lived and settles quickly once the treatment has finished.
How long does CryoPen® cryotherapy treatment take?
Most CryoPen® appointments take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of the lesions being treated. The treatment itself usually takes only a few seconds per lesion.
What happens after CryoPen® cryotherapy treatment?
Following treatment, the area may become slightly red or swollen. A small blister or scab may develop, which is a normal part of the healing process. The lesion will usually darken, dry up, and naturally fall away over the following days or weeks. Your practitioner will provide full aftercare advice.
Will CryoPen® cryotherapy leave a scar?
CryoPen® is designed to treat lesions with precision, helping to minimise the risk of scarring. As with any skin procedure, healing varies between individuals, and a small change in skin colour or texture may occasionally occur.
