FOR VERRUCAE OR WARTS
CryoPen
Leave verrucae and warts out in the cold, with this advanced cryotherapy treatment.
What is CryoPen?
CryoPen is an advanced freeze treatment that is a fast, effective and safe solution for removal of verrucae and warts. It works by emitting a fine jet of nitrous oxide, under high pressure, allowing for millimetre precision. This means it is an excellent solution for smaller verrucas and warts, and there is no collateral damage to healthy skin.
Who is CryoPen for?
Ideal for very new verrucae and warts. Can be used to treat warts to the hands, arms, legs and feet. Ideal for the more nervous patient.

FAQ’s
It's important to discuss these questions with your podiatrist to understand the best course of treatment for your wart or verrucae.
CryoPen freeze treatment is a non-invasive and quick procedure that uses extreme cold temperatures to remove or treat various skin conditions, such as warts, skin tags, age spots, and certain types of skin lesions. It involves applying a precise freezing agent, typically nitrous oxide to the targeted area, which freezes the affected tissue, leading to its destruction.
CryoPen freeze treatment works by rapidly cooling the targeted skin tissue, causing the water within the cells to freeze and form ice crystals. This freezing process damages the cells' structure and disrupts their function. As a result, the treated tissue dies off and eventually falls off or gets absorbed by the body, allowing new, healthy tissue to form.
The level of discomfort experienced during CryoPen freeze treatment can vary from person to person. Some individuals may feel a mild stinging or burning sensation at the treatment site, which usually subsides quickly. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and any discomfort is typically minimal and temporary.
CryoPen freeze treatment is considered safe, but like any medical procedure, it carries some potential risks and side effects. Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, blistering, or mild pain at the treatment site. In rare cases, there might be scarring, changes in skin pigmentation, or infection. It's essential to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by the podiatrist to minimise these risks.
The duration of a CryoPen freeze treatment session can vary depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Typically, each lesion or targeted area takes only a few seconds to a few minutes to treat. Overall, the entire session can be completed within a few minutes to half an hour.
The number of CryoPen freeze treatment sessions needed depends on the specific skin condition being treated, its size, and how well it responds to the freezing treatment. Some conditions, such as small warts may require only a single treatment session, while others might need multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. The podiatrist will determine the appropriate treatment plan for your specific condition.
Cryopen freeze treatment typically has minimal downtime. After the procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, or a small blister at the treated site. These side effects usually resolve within a few days to a couple of weeks. You can generally resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment, but it's important to follow any post-treatment care instructions provided by the podiatrist.
CryoPen freeze treatment may not be suitable for everyone. It is typically not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have certain medical conditions (such as cold intolerance or Raynaud's disease), or have a history of poor wound healing. Additionally, areas with impaired circulation or infections should not be treated. It's important to consult with a podiatrist to determine if CryoPen freeze treatment is appropriate for your specific situation.
The results of CryoPen freeze treatment can vary depending on the individual and the treated condition. In some cases, the treated tissue may darken and form a scab before eventually falling off, which can take around 1 to 3 weeks. It may take a few weeks to a couple of months for the treated area to fade and for new, healthy skin to appear.
Insurance coverage for CryoPen freeze treatment can vary depending on your insurance provider and the specific skin condition being treated. In some cases, if the treatment is deemed medically necessary, it may be covered by insurance. However, cosmetic procedures or treatments for non-medical reasons may not be covered. It's recommended to check with your insurance provider to understand the coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
CryoPen freeze treatment can generally be used on various skin types. However, individuals with darker skin tones may be at a slightly higher risk of developing temporary or permanent changes in skin pigmentation, such as lightening or darkening of the treated area. It's important to consult with the podiatrist experienced in treating diverse skin types to minimize potential risks and optimise the treatment outcomes.
CryoPen freeze treatment is generally not recommended during pregnancy as a precautionary measure. While there is limited research on the specific effects of CryoPen treatment on pregnant individuals, it is advisable to wait until after pregnancy to undergo such procedures. It's important to discuss any concerns or treatment options with a podiatrist to ensure the safety of both the mother and the unborn child.

What our patients think
The first thing you notice, is how lovely Zoe's clinic is. Very clean and modern. Zoe herself was great, professional, and a delight. She talked me through everything, she's up to date with all the latest treatments and advises what's appropriate for you. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going to Pod Chiropody again. Thank you Zoe
Lovely premises & a warm welcome. Zoe talked through all the treatment options & costs openly to allow me to make a decision on which course I wanted to take. Put me completely at ease & explained what was happening at each stage, which was reassuring. Can't recommend highly enough, thank you!
Over recent months I have had excellent attention for fungal nail infection .... Zoe is very thorough in her approach and the results so far are definitely pleasing. It is undoubtedly worth the 35 minute drive from Market Harborough. In addition...The clinic environment is comfortable, fresh and modern. I have no hesitation in recommending Pod Chiropody and Laser Clinic.
My son was extremely anxious and Zoe couldn't have been more patient with him, scheduling appointments around school times.... she explained exactly what she was going to do to him and won his trust.... pleased to say my son is wart free and I cannot thank Zoe enough..
I absolutely love this place, very clean and friendly. Covid aware. Zoe knows exactly what to do and explains why she does things.

Lovely welcome, and very informative about the fungal nail treatment, relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend Zoe to anyone wishing to try out different treatment for there fungal nail needs.
Sounds weird, but I actually ENJOYED having my verucae (is that the plural?) frozen to death. Zoe is terrific, extremely pleasant, utterly professional, and everything was SPOTLESS. 12/10 on every front.

I had quite a few stubborn verrucae over both of my feet which I had tried all sorts of treatments over the years to cure. I also had a toenail that had become detached and infected when I first visited Zoe's practice. I received great advice from Zoe and along with use of the Swift Microwave treatment I am now clear of verrucae for the first time in many years. My toenail that I was expecting to lose has also fully recovered. Thank you so much for your help.

Having tried nearly every treatment under the sun and at my wits end, I decided to explore Swift microwave treatment.

I would highly recommend this treatment for anyone with a verruca. There is no pain or inconvenience immediately after the treatment. Thank you, Zoe.
