CryoPen therapy is a procedure that the application of nitrous oxide gas ejected under high on to the skin. The gas is very cold which helps to freeze and destroy any benign lesions.

The drop has the effect of crystallising the fluid contents of the cells, turning them into ice shards, resulting in the of skin lesions as the membrane surrounding the treated cells is and .

The penetration of the cold is approximately 1mm per 5 seconds of treatment, so a 2mm sized lesion would take 10 seconds of nitrous oxide gas to treat.

A common technique called can sometimes be used to freeze, then defrost a frozen lesion, and then freeze it again. Here, the frozen lesion is to rest for 30 seconds and then a second whereby the tissue will freeze faster second time around and destruction of the lesion is more guaranteed.
