Treatment Areas:

How Does It Work?

  • Face - skin tags, milia, small warts around the cheeks, forehead, chin, and temples

  • Eyelids (with caution) - suitable for milia and tiny skin tags on the upper or lower lids when assessed as safe

  • Neck - common area for skin tags and small benign lesions

  • Underarms - effective for multiple skin tags caused by friction

  • Chest & décolletage - suitable for sun‑related lesions, skin tags, and milia

  • Back - ideal for warts, milia clusters, and raised lesions

  • Hands & fingers - commonly used for warts and small benign bumps

  • Feet - suitable for certain warts and small raised lesions

  • Body folds - effective for skin tags in areas prone to friction (groin, waistline, bra line)

CryoFreeze works by applying a precise burst of extreme cold to the unwanted skin tag, wart, or lesion, rapidly freezing the tissue and cutting off its blood supply. This controlled freezing causes the targeted cells to break down, allowing the lesion to dry, darken, and naturally shed over the following days. Because the cold is highly localised, surrounding healthy skin remains protected, making CryoFreeze an effective, minimally invasive option for removing small, benign skin concerns with minimal downtime.

When Will I See Results?

CryoFreeze results develop gradually as the frozen tissue breaks down. The treated lesion typically darkens or scabs within a few days, then begins to dry and shrink. Most skin tags and small benign lesions naturally shed or fall away within 7-14 days, while warts may take 2-4 weeks depending on their size and depth. Some lesions may require more than one session for complete removal, but visible changes usually begin quickly as the frozen cells detach from healthy skin.

How Long Do Results Last?

Skin tags and milia that fall away after treatment are considered permanently removed, while warts may occasionally recur depending on their viral nature, though many remain clear long‑term after a complete freeze. New lesions can still form in the future due to friction, genetics, or skin behaviour, but the treated area itself generally stays clear once healing is complete.

​These are temporary and may include:

  • Redness - the treated area may appear flushed for several hours

  • Mild swelling - puffiness around the lesion is normal

  • Darkening or scabbing - the lesion often darkens and forms a small scab as it dries

  • Tingling or stinging - brief discomfort during and shortly after freezing

  • Blistering - small blisters may form, especially with warts

  • Dryness - the area may feel dry or tight as the lesion sheds

  • Temporary skin lightening or darkening - mild pigment changes can occur, especially on darker skin tones

Before Your Treatment

You'll have a consultation where you'll be asked to fill out a form detailing your:

  • Medical history

  • Medication or supplement use

  • Allergies

  • Previous treatments

  • Current skin condition

You can complete this form in the clinic or in advance by clicking Health Form at the top of this page.

Common Side Effects

  • You have suspicious or changing lesions - anything irregular in colour, shape, size, or behaviour must be assessed by a GP or dermatologist, not treated with CryoFreeze

  • You have pigmented lesions - moles or dark lesions should never be frozen unless medically approved

  • You have an active skin infection - bacterial, viral, or fungal infections around the area increase risk of spread or irritation

  •  You have poor circulation or healing disorders - may increase complications

You Are Not Suitable For Treatment If:

  • You have a cold sensitivity condition - including Raynaud’s or cold urticaria, where extreme cold can trigger adverse reactions

  • You have very dark skin tones for certain lesions - higher risk of temporary or long‑term pigment changes

  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding - generally avoided unless medically necessary

  • You have large, deep, or clustered lesions - may require alternative removal methods or medical referral

  • You have lesions in high‑risk areas - such as inside the nose, inside the mouth, or very close to the eye margin

First 24-48 Hours:

  • Keep the area clean - gently cleanse with mild products, avoiding scrubbing

  • Avoid touching or picking - prevents irritation and infection

  • Expect redness or swelling - normal and usually settles within hours

  • Allow blisters to settle naturally - do not pop; keep dry and protected

  • Avoid makeup - especially if the area is blistered or scabbing

  • Avoid heat exposure - no saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, or strenuous exercise

  • Avoid swimming - pools, hot tubs, and the sea can irritate the area

  • Avoid active skincare - no acids, retinoids, or exfoliants on or near the treated site

  • Protect the skin with SPF daily

Aftercare Instructions

First 1-2 Weeks:

  • Allow natural shedding - the lesion may darken, scab, and fall away on its own

  • Avoid picking scabs - prevents scarring and pigment changes

  • Continue daily SPF - reduces risk of temporary pigmentation

  • Avoid exfoliation - keep the area barrier‑safe until fully healed

  • Avoid other treatments - no peels, microneedling, or laser on the area until healed

  • Monitor healing - warts may take longer; some lesions may need a follow‑up

  • Resume normal skincare gradually - once the skin is smooth and fully healed
