Q1. Is angiofibroma removal with CryoPen safe?
Yes. The CryoPen uses a precisely directed ultra-cold jet of nitrous oxide, which targets only the lesion while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. The risk of complications is very low.
Q2. Will the angiofibroma come back?
In many cases, the treated growth does not recur. However, as with any skin condition, complete prevention isn’t guaranteed — maintaining healthy skin and avoiding aggravating factors helps.
Q3. Does the angiofibroma removal treatment hurt?
Most patients feel only mild discomfort — a chilly sensation and slight pressure. After the session, you might notice slight redness or swelling, which typically resolves quickly.
Q4. How many sessions will I need for angiofibroma removal?
Many lesions respond in one session. Some may require a follow-up. During your consultation, we’ll assess the lesion’s size, depth, and location and provide you with a personalised estimate.
Q5. What’s the aftercare like?
Very straightforward:
Do not pick or scratch the treated area.
If you will be outside, limit sun exposure as much as possible, especially between 10 am and 4 pm.
Do not wear heavy make-up or creams straight away (we will advise)
If you can, do not drink alcohol or smoke and if possible avoid taking blood-thinners for 48 hours.
Q6. Will there be a scar or a change in pigmentation?
One of the significant advantages of CryoPen removal is the minimal risk of scarring, because there are no incisions. Slight pigmentation changes may occur, but usually fade over time.
Q7. Can an angiofibroma be removed from the face?
Absolutely. The CryoPen’s precision makes it ideal for delicate areas like the nose or cheeks — locations where angiofibromas commonly occur.
Q8. Is this suitable for all skin types?
Yes — the device is safe across a wide range of skin types. We’ll evaluate your individual skin tone, lesion characteristics and any risk factors at the consultation.
