Does CryoPen Hurt?

- A brief cold sensation
- Mild stinging or tingling
- Slight discomfort lasting a few seconds
π The treatment is quick, and any discomfort fades almost immediately after each application.
What Does CryoPen Feel Like?

During treatment, you may feel:

- Mild pressure in the treated area
π The intensity depends on the area and size of the lesion, but it is usually very manageable.

β
Very short-lived
β
Usually gone within seconds to minutes
