“I purchased the CryoProbe approximately two years ago and found it to be a very unique and precise instrument for the removal of benign skin lesions. While the CryoProbe is accurate to the millimeter using the 40 micron applicator, the larger skin lesions are easily treated with the 80 micron tip. Additionally, I have found anesthesia completely unnecessary, even for my pediatric patients and there is virtually no post-operative since the epidermis remains intact when using the CryoProbe.

I would highly recommend the CryoProbe to any practitioner who is presently treating or would like to treat skin lesions in their office ”

“Cryotherapy is the preferred method of removing molluscum contagiosum in most patients. I prefer the use of the CryoProbe unit for these benign skin lesions once one has confirmed the diagnosis of this treatment is painless and effective for most patients. Depending upon the thickness of the lesion, two freeze cycles of 20 seconds are usually required. The lesions may blister slightly and then fall off in a few days to a week. If any lesions remain, one may repeat the process. Two treatment appointments are typically necessary. One may also use liquid nitrogen, either the spray or the dipstick method. However, this modality is more painful. It is also common to see residual pigmentary changes following the removal of molluscum contagiosum with liquid nitrogen and the discoloration may remain for the many months following the treatment.”
