Learn All About Cryotherapy

Treating the skin with extreme cold temperatures has existed in the medical practice for over 100 years to remove skin tags and dark spots using a safe spray of cold, dry ice called carbon Dioxide. The use of carbon dioxide as a form of cryotherapy has been the focus of hundreds of studies and has been clinically proven to be safe and effective on a wide range of benign skin lessons.

How Cryotherapy Works

CryoClear works by spraying carbon dioxide onto the skin, which freezes superficially at -79 degrees Celsius, where only the epidermal layers are treated. Because of the CryoClear's shallow but effective depth of freeze, CryoClear greatly minimizes the risk of blistering, scarring and hypo-pigmentation - usually associated with colder forms of cryotherapy. In as little as one treatment, CryoClear can treat indications such as skin tags, age spots and sun spots on sensitive areas like the hands, face and neck.

Depth of Freeze

CryoClear is administered on any given indication for no longer than five seconds at a time. As shown in the diagram above, the ice ball that forms within the epidermis doesn't penetrate into the true skin of the dermis which contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, hair follicles and glands that produce sweat. This makes CryoClear the perfect solution for treating superficial indications.

CryoClear FAQ

  • Are there any post-treatment recommendations?

    We recommend that you apply a daily moisturizer plus an SPF30+ inorganic sunscreen to the treated area to keep it healthy and protected from the sun. 7 to 10 days after treatment, mildly exfoliate the treated area. With CyroClear, you have no lifestyle restrictions - live life as usual!

  • How long will it take to see results?

    Your treated area will immediately turn darker and you might experience some tingling or itching for a few hours after treatment. The treatment site will remain dark for about 10 days when your body will "slough" off the dead tissue. Next, you will see pink healthy tissue which will return to your normal skin color in a few weeks. In some cases, it can take four to six weeks for normal pigmentation to return.

  • Did you know?

    •  In 1911 the use of carbon dioxide was published for a broad number of indications - carbon dioxide "snow" was used as a spray or snowball.
    • Up to 90% of Americans will develop one or more age spots, sunspots or skin tags by the time they are 50 years old.
    • Skin tags are not pre-cancerous and usually form in folds of the skin.
    • Carbon dioxide comes out as a "snow" which helps to focus the treatment on the lesion site.

  • Can people with sensitive skin be treated with CryoClear?

    Yes! Because of CyroClear's gentle freeze, CryoClear is safe for people with sensitive skin. If this is an area of concern, what we recommend is to consult with your esthetician and consider cutting back on the recommended treatment time.

  • Is it OK to use CryoClear after a chemical peel?

    CryoClear can be used in conjunction with a variety of procedures such as chemical peels, facials, microdermabrasion and extractions. However, with chemical peels and microdermabrasion, we recommend you wait at least one week before being treated with CryoClear.

  • Is CryoClear safe on all skin types?

    CryoClear is less aggressive than other methods of cryotherapy such as liquid nitrogen or liquid nitrous oxide, where the likelihood of blistering, scarring and hypo-pigmentation is greater.
