What is Cryotherapy and what does it treat?
Cryotherapy is a reference treatment for the treatment of skin imperfections. It treats the tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid to destroy the cell structure. Treatment goes quickly and the duration will depend on the size and the depth. The innovative Accurett emits a fine jet of CO2 under high pressure which allows the clinician to work with precision. The result is that there will be no collateral damage to healthy tissue.
Treatment with the Accurett is extremely accurate and practical: pigmented spots, age spots, sun spots, with the Accurett you can now have this treatment done in your beauty salon.

How the Cryopen works
Procedures typically last from 2 to 10 seconds per spot. So you can be in and out quickly. After the treatment the spot that has been destroyed will – during15days – act as a protective cover for the new skin that is forming.
Generally there are 2 short cycles for the treatment.
First cycle freeze
The applicator of the Cryopen is held to the skin and the gas is supplied to the tissue by circular movements. This can be from 2-10 seconds, depending on the size and depth of the relevant tissue.
The Accurett freezes at a rate of approximately 1mm per 5 seconds.
