What is Seborrheic Keratosis?
SK are benign skin growths that appear as patches in shades of brown, black, or light tan. They can feel raised and slightly waxy or “stuck on” the skin.
While they are harmless in most cases and may not require treatment, many people have them removed because they rub on clothes or change in appearance.
Why Choose CryoPen for Seborrheic Keratosis Girton Removal?
- Precision targeting – CryoPen uses a fine, focused jet of ultra-cold nitrous oxide to treat the lesion only, sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
- Fast treatment – Often completed in minutes, ideal for small to moderate lesions.
- No downtime – You can go back to daily tasks straight away.
- Safe for many skin areas – Suitable for the face, neck, and body; delicate areas can be treated with care.
What to Expect During the Seborrheic Keratosis Treatment Girton
- Consultation & assessment – A trained clinician will evaluate the lesion(s) to confirm they are suitable for removal and safe to treat.
- The area is cleaned, and necessary protective measures are implemented.
- CryoPen application – A brief burst of cold is applied to the lesion. You may feel a mild stinging or cooling sensation.
- Healing phase – The lesion will freeze, then thaw, often forming a slight scab or crust which naturally falls off over a period of days to weeks. Some darkening or mild redness may occur initially.
- Follow-up – A review may be scheduled to confirm complete removal. Occasionally, a second treatment might be required if the lesion is large or thick.
Aftercare Guidance
- Keep the treated area clean and dry.
- Avoid swimming, saunas, sunbeds, and prolonged exposure to intense heat for 48 – 72 hours.
- Protect from sun exposure; apply broad-spectrum SPF once healed.
- Do not pick or scratch the treated lesion as it heals.
- If blistering occurs, allow it to resolve naturally; contact us if you experience unusual pain, heavy bleeding or signs of infection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about CryoPen for Seborrheic Keratosis Girton
Q: What is the CryoPen treatment for seborrheic keratosis?
A: The CryoPen treatment is a form of cryotherapy that uses a focused jet of ultra-cold nitrous oxide to freeze and destroy the benign lesion (seborrheic keratosis). Your body’s natural healing process then clears the treated cells.
Q: Is the treatment painful?
A: Most patients report only a mild stinging or cooling sensation for a few seconds during the freeze, and minimal discomfort afterwards.
Q: Will there be any downtime?
A: There’s little to no downtime. You may notice a scab or crust forming, minor redness or slight swelling, but you can usually resume normal activities straight away, with care.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: Often, one session is sufficient for typical seborrheic lesions. However, some raised or thick lesions may need a follow-up session 4-6 weeks later to ensure complete removal.
Q: Will the lesion come back, or will new ones appear?
A: The treated lesion should be removed permanently. However, because seborrheic keratoses can develop elsewhere naturally over time, new lesions may appear even if this one is treated. Additionally, new spots may go untreated, and the underlying predisposition persists.
Q: Are there any risks or side effects?
A: Side effects are typically minimal; however, they may include temporary redness, swelling, blistering, crust formation, or changes in skin colour (lighter or darker), especially in darker skin tones.
Q: Can any seborrheic keratosis be treated with CryoPen?
A: Most are suitable, but lesions that are very thick, irregular, changing rapidly in appearance, or suspicious in nature should first be assessed by a dermatologist. We perform a complete examination to ensure safe treatment. Cryopen is FDA-approved.
Q: Will the treatment leave a scar?
A: Scarring is rare when performed correctly. Some temporary skin discolouration may occur, particularly in darker skin. Good aftercare and avoiding sun exposure help reduce risks.
Q: How soon will I see results?
A: The frozen lesion will typically form a crust and fall off within about 1–2 weeks. The skin underneath gradually heals and normalises. Some aesthetic improvements are visible quickly; the full cosmetic result may take a few weeks.
Q: What pre-treatment preparation is needed?
A: Ensure the area is clean and free from active sunburn or recent tanning. We’ll advise on any skin-care products to pause (e.g., strong retinols) and discuss your medical history in consultation.
