Cryotherapy Skin Treatment: (CryoProbe™)

Erase dark spots, skin tags, moles, and other benign skin lesions in seconds—no anesthesia, no downtime, and no scars. Spa Lumina now offers CryoProbe advanced cryotherapy technology at our Barrie med spa. It’s a treatment that uses the power of controlled cold to safely and precisely remove unwanted lesions on the face and body.

What Is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is the gold standard for removing benign skin lesions in dermatology and aesthetic practices. It works through the controlled elimination of unwanted tissue using extreme cold. The CryoProbe device delivers a stream of nitrous oxide at temperatures as low as -89°C to freeze the targeted lesion while protecting surrounding healthy tissue.

How It Works

1. The lesion is rapidly frozen, avoiding damage to healthy surrounding tissue.
2. Ice crystals form within the lesion, destroying the unwanted cells.
3. During healing, the skin eliminates the frozen lesion and replaces it with new, healthy tissue.

What Cryotherapy Treats

CryoProbe effectively treats a wide range of benign lesions on the face and body, including:

• Dark spots and age spots
• Skin tags
• Warts (including plantar warts)
• Moles
• Keratoses
• Cherry angiomas
• Other benign skin irregularities

What Are the Benefits of Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy skin treatment offers various benefits for patients who wish to treat smaller or purely cosmetic lesions:

• Safe, fast, and comfortable
• No anesthesia or sutures required
• No downtime or scarring
• Effective for various benign lesions
• Suitable for most skin types
• Treatment of multiple lesions during a single session

What Should I Expect Before, During & After Treatment?

Before your cryotherapy skin treatment, you’ll meet with a trained Spa Lumina team member for a complimentary consultation to assess the lesions and confirm with the Medical Director that CryoProbe is the right option for your skin and goals. Following your consultation, our team will assist in scheduling your treatment.

CryoProbe treatments are comfortable and minimally invasive. Most patients describe the sensation as a light pinch, and anesthesia is not required. The treatment takes only a few minutes and requires no downtime—you can return to normal activities immediately.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most lesions require 1 to 3 treatments for optimal results. Larger or more stubborn lesions may need additional sessions.

What Results Should I Expect?

After treatment, the skin naturally eliminates the frozen lesion, revealing clear, healthy new tissue. Lesions typically fall off within 2 to 4 weeks, and the skin continues to improve as it heals. Temporary redness or blistering may occur, but permanent scarring is rare.

Is CryoProbe Right for Me?

CryoProbe is typically an ideal solution for larger or more resistant lesions, as it offers deep penetration and medical-grade precision. It can treat benign lesions on virtually any part of the body and provides a safe, quick alternative to surgical excision. Our experienced providers will guide you toward the safest and best approach for your skin’s needs.
