Cryotherapy in Worthing

Doctor‑led cryotherapy for safe removal of benign skin lesions

What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is a quick, targeted treatment that uses extreme cold to safely remove unwanted skin lesions such as:

  • Skin Tags
  • Benign moles
  • Cherry angiomas
  • Sun spots/age spots
  • Seborrhoeic keratoses
  • Warts & Verrucae

At Blue Bird Aesthetics, cryotherapy is performed using the CryoPen® — a medical‑grade precision device that delivers a controlled jet of nitrous oxide to freeze only the unwanted tissue while protecting the surrounding skin.

About the Blue Bird Aesthetics approach

Why does Dr Amber use the CryoPen®?

The CryoPen® is a regulated medical device designed for use by trained clinicians. Unlike older cryotherapy methods (cotton buds, sprays, or non‑medical freezing pens), the CryoPen® offers:

  • pinpoint accuracy
  • consistent temperature delivery
  • minimal discomfort
  • reduced risk of scarring
  • fast treatment times
  • suitability for delicate areas

Because it is a medical‑grade instrument, it is only available for use by doctors and medically trained professionals — ensuring safe, appropriate treatment and correct lesion identification before removal.

About Dr Amber Halliday

Is Cryotherapy suitable for me?

May be suitable if you have:

May NOT be suitable for:

  • benign lesions that catch, rub, or irritate
  • cosmetic concerns about skin tags or age spots
  • lesions previously assessed as non‑cancerous
  • suspicious or changing moles
  • lesions requiring biopsy/specialist review
  • infected or inflamed areas

A medical consultation helps to review your health history, medications, and skin condition to determine whether treatment is appropriate and safe.

What to expect

Dr Halliday will assess the lesion to confirm it is suitable for cryotherapy. If a lesion requires GP or dermatology referral, this will be advised.

During Treatment

  • A fine jet of nitrous oxide is applied for a few seconds
  • You may feel mild stinging or cold
  • Most lesions require 1–2 freeze cycles

Healing typically occurs within 1–4 weeks depending on the lesion

Aftercare is simple and will be explained clearly

Frequently Asked Questions:

Most lesions do not return after cryotherapy, but some types (such as warts or seborrhoeic keratoses) can recur and may need a second treatment.

Yes — once the area has fully healed and any crusting has naturally fallen away. Dr Halliday will advise based on the lesion location.

Yes. The CryoPen’s precision makes it suitable for delicate areas, including the face, eyelids (with caution), and neck.

Most people return to normal activities immediately. The area may darken or form a small crust for 1–2 weeks.

If Dr Halliday has any concerns about the lesion, she will not treat it and will advise GP or dermatology referral instead.
