The Benefits of Cryotherapy: CryoPen® O+ at Letchworth Pharmacy

Letchworth Pharmacy are delighted to announce the introduction of our Cryotherapy service provided by Dr Karen Benson, NHS GP and Dermatologist.


Cryotherapy is an innovative treatment method that uses extreme cold to target and remove unwanted skin lesions that has become increasingly popular for its effectiveness and minimally invasive nature.  


At Letchworth Pharmacy, Dr Karen Benson provides expert cryotherapy services using the cutting-edge CryoPen® O+, a leading device known for its precision and safety.


NB this device is exclusively available to health professionals. You only have one skin! Why entrust it to just anyone?


Beauticians do not have the same expertise to diagnose skin cancer or treat medical/ cosmetic conditions.

What Is Cryotherapy?


Cryotherapy involves the application of extreme cold to freeze and destroy abnormal or unwanted skin tissue. The CryoPen® O+ uses liquid nitrous oxide to deliver targeted cold therapy at a temperature of -89°C, ensuring the rapid freezing of the treated area while leaving surrounding healthy tissue unharmed.

This non-invasive procedure is effective for a wide range of skin conditions, including:

  • Skin tags
  • Warts and Verrucae
  • Age spots
  • Milia
  • Cherry angiomas
  • Seborrheic keratosis
  • Other benign skin lesions
