At Cryosonic, we provide advanced Cryopen treatment, a precise cryotherapy solution that effectively removes unwanted pigmentation while preserving the surrounding skin.
Safe, Fast & Effective Cryopen Treatment
Age spots — also called sun spots, liver spots or solar lentigines — are flat, brown or dark patches that appear on parts of the skin frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms. They are a ubiquitous sign of ageing and long-term UV exposure.
At Cryosonic, we offer advanced Cryopen treatment, a precise cryotherapy-based solution that gently removes unwanted pigmentation without harming the surrounding skin.
Age spots are flat, pigmented patches that develop as melanin (the skin’s natural pigment) accumulates in specific areas over time due to sun exposure and ageing. They usually:
Although age spots don’t present a health risk, many people seek removal for cosmetic reasons — because they can make the skin look uneven or older than you feel.
Cryopen uses a specialised cryotherapy device to deliver a fine, controlled jet of cold nitrous oxide directly onto the pigmented cells responsible for the age spot.
Key Benefits
What is Cryopen (CryoPen) treatment for age spots?
Cryopen (often called CryoPen) is a form of cryotherapy that uses a jet of extremely cold nitrous oxide to freeze and break down the pigment-containing cells in age spots. The affected cells naturally shed, revealing clearer skin.
Does the age spot treatment hurt?
Many individuals report feeling a quick, cold blast that lasts just a few seconds. The procedure is usually well tolerated without anaesthesia.
How long does a session take?
Each age spot can usually be treated in seconds, and a full session for multiple spots is often under 15 minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
For many clients, one session is enough to achieve noticeable results — particularly for superficial or small spots. Larger or deeper pigmentation may need a follow-up treatment.
What happens after treatment?
After Cryopen treatment, the area may form a tiny crust or darkened layer. It usually falls away naturally within about 7–14 days, revealing fresher, clearer skin underneath.
Can age spots return after treatment?
Once an age spot is effectively treated, it’s unlikely to recur in the same place.
New spots may develop over time with continued sun exposure. Regular use of sun protection, such as broad-spectrum SPF and protective clothing, can significantly reduce this risk.
Is Cryopen suitable for all age spots?
Cryopen works well for most age spots, but very dark, irregular, changing or suspicious lesions should be evaluated by a clinician first to rule out other skin conditions. A professional consultation ensures the right approach for your skin type and concern.
Sun Protection & Aftercare
After treatment, taking good care of your skin is key to maintaining results. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, seek shade, and wear protective clothing when outdoors to help prevent new spots from forming.
