CryoCorrect™ Precision Pen Skin Tag Removal
CryoCorrect™ is a precise cryotherapy treatment used to remove benign skin tags and selected benign spots by freezing the superficial tissue. The device delivers a controlled flow of carbon dioxide (CO₂) at approximately –78°C, which safely destroys the targeted tissue while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin .
Unlike traditional liquid nitrogen treatments, CryoCorrect™ allows for more controlled and localized freezing, making it especially suitable for cosmetically sensitive areas.
How Does CryoCorrect™ Work?
The CryoCorrect™ Precision Pen is applied directly to the skin tag or lesion for about 5 to 8 seconds per area. Larger or thicker lesions may require a second application during the same visit.
After treatment:
• The area may briefly turn white, then darken
• Over the next few days, a scab or crust forms
• The treated tissue naturally sloughs off as the skin heals
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
What Is the Healing Timeline?
• Immediately after treatment: brief stinging or cold sensation, mild redness
• 3–5 days: darkening and scab formation
• 2–3 weeks: scab falls off, new skin appears
• Up to 4–12 weeks: skin color and texture continue to normalize
Some lesions may require more than one treatment, particularly if they are large, thick, or recurrent .
Who is this Procedure For?
CryoCorrect™ is intended for patients with:
• Clearly benign skin tags
• Selected benign sun or age spots
• Lesions on the face, neck, body, or extremities
All lesions are evaluated before treatment. If there is any concern for malignancy or atypical features, treatment will not be performed and a biopsy or dermatology referral may be recommended. Cosmetic removal does not replace medical diagnosis.
Who Should Not Have CryoCorrect™?
CryoCorrect™ may not be appropriate if you have:
• Cold hypersensitivity disorders or impaired circulation
• Open wounds, active skin infections, or dermatitis
• A history of keloid scarring
• Darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) or prior pigment changes
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Bleeding disorders or use of blood thinners
• Use of photosensitizing medications or topical retinoids
Your provider may decline or postpone treatment based on clinical judgment .
Possible Side Effects and Risks
Most side effects are temporary, but some may be prolonged or permanent. These can include:
• Redness, swelling, stinging, burning, or tenderness
• Blistering, scabbing, or numbness
• Pain at the treatment site
• Lightening or darkening of the skin (pigment changes)
• Scarring or texture changes (rare)
• Hair loss in treated hair-bearing areas
• Infection, delayed healing, or incomplete removal
• Increased sun sensitivity during healing
