Dermatofibroma Treatment Banstead – CryoPen at Lipo Sculpt
Remove Firm Bumps & Restore Smooth Skin
Why Choose Cryopen for Dermatofibroma Removal Banstead?
| Benefit | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Minimally invasive & quick | Cryopen uses focused cold bursts (no scalpel) and each lesion typically takes only minutes to treat. | Faster appointments, no sutures and fewer procedural risks compared with surgical excision. |
| High precision & targeted | The device delivers a very localised stream of cold to the lesion—sparing surrounding healthy skin. | Reduces collateral tissue damage and improves cosmetic outcomes. |
| Minimal scarring | Controlled freezing destroys the lesion while promoting natural regeneration with limited scarring. | Better cosmetic results, important for visible areas (legs, arms, face). |
| Low downtime & rapid healing | Most patients experience a few days to a few weeks of healing rather than prolonged recovery. | Patients can return to normal activities quickly — good for busy lifestyles. |
| Comfortable — little or no anaesthesia | The freezing action usually numbs the area; local anaesthetic is rarely required for small lesions. | Simpler appointments and fewer injection-related side effects. |
| Versatile — treats many minor lesions | Cryopen is commonly used for dermatofibromas, moles, skin tags, verrucae and some pigment marks. | One device/approach covers a range of non-cancerous skin concerns, simplifying care pathways. |
| Safe & effective in trained hands | When performed by qualified practitioners the procedure has a strong safety and efficacy record. | High success rates with low complication risk — reassurance for patients. |
Why Cryopen For Dermatofibroma Removal Banstead?
If you’ve noticed firm, pin-prick-sized nodules—commonly known as dermatofibromas—our clinic offers a precise, minimally invasive solution with CryoPen. While dermatofibromas are benign, many people seek removal for comfort, aesthetics or confidence. With CryoPen cryotherapy technology, we provide efficient treatment with minimal downtime.
What is a Dermatofibroma?
Dermatofibroma is a typical benign skin nodule composed of fibrous tissue, often appearing on the legs or arms after minor trauma, such as insect bites or superficial injury.
These nodules often present as firm, well-defined bumps, sometimes showing a “dimple sign” when pinched.
While they pose no significant health risk in most cases, they can cause physical irritation or aesthetic concerns.
Why Choose CryoPen for Removal?
- Precision targeting – The CryoPen system uses a focused jet of ultra-cold gas to treat the lesion only, preserving surrounding healthy skin.
- Fast, outpatient-friendly – Many treatments are completed in minutes with minimal preparation and no general anaesthesia.
- Minimal downtime – After treatment, most clients resume daily activities quickly, with only minor after-effects.
- Suitable for many cases – Especially effective for smaller, well-defined dermatofibromas (although deeper or more complex types may require alternate methods).
What to Expect During the Treatment
- Consultation & assessment – A trained clinician assesses the lesion(s) to ensure they are suitable for CryoPen removal, and discusses expectations.
- Preparation – The skin is cleaned and protected; if needed, a topical anaesthetic can be applied.
- CryoPen application – A brief “freeze-thaw” cycle is applied to the lesion. A mild stinging or cooling sensation may be felt.
- Healing phase – The treated area may become red, develop a light crust or scab and then heal over days to weeks. The surrounding skin gradually recovers.
- Follow-up – A review may be scheduled. Some lesions may require a second session, depending on size or depth.
Aftercare Guidance
- Keep the treated area clean and dry for the first 24-48 hours.
- Avoid vigorous rubbing, friction or sun exposure on the treated spot in the early healing phase.
- Do not pick at any crusts or scabs—let them heal naturally.
- Protect the area with a broad-spectrum SPF after healing to prevent pigmentation changes.
- Monitor the site for signs of infection (increased redness, persistent pain, discharge) and contact us if concerned.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – CryoPen for Dermatofibroma Removal Banstead
Q: What exactly is being treated in this procedure?
A: We are treating a benign nodule known as a dermatofibroma, which is a small fibrous growth in the dermis layer of the skin. While harmless, it may be removed for cosmetic or comfort reasons.
Q: How does CryoPen work for dermatofibroma removal?
A: CryoPen applies a focused jet of ultra-cold gas to the lesion, freezing the tissue and leading to controlled destruction of the growth. The body then naturally clears the treated tissue over time.
Q: Is the procedure painful?
A: Most clients feel only a brief cold or stinging sensation during freezing. Following treatment, mild redness or tenderness may occur, but discomfort is usually minimal.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Many dermatofibromas can be successfully treated in a single session. However, deeper or more fibrous lesions may require a follow-up treatment. The clinician will advise during the consultation.
Q: When will I see the result?
A: You may notice improvement quite quickly, but complete healing (and the best cosmetic outcome) may take several weeks as the lesion settles and the skin recovers.
Q: Will there be a scar?
A: Scarring risk is very low when using CryoPen for suitable lesions. Because the treatment is minimally invasive and spares the surrounding skin, scarring is much less likely than with surgical excision. However, all skin healing varies, and pigmentation changes (lighter or darker skin) are possible.
Q: Can the dermatofibroma grow back after treatment?
A: Once the lesion is treated effectively and removed, the chance of that same bump returning is low. However, new dermatofibromas may still develop independently elsewhere. Some more aggressive subtypes (though rare) may have a higher recurrence rate.
Q: Are there risks or side effects?
A: Risk is minimal but may include temporary redness, swelling, crusting, pigment changes or, very rarely, slight scarring. Because dermatofibromas often extend into the dermis, less invasive methods may leave some residual tissue or change the appearance.
Q: Am I a suitable candidate?
A: Suitable candidates are those with benign-looking dermatofibromas confirmed by assessment, who want removal for cosmetic or comfort reasons. Deep, large or atypical lesions might be better managed with surgical excision.
Q: How much does the treatment cost?
A: Cost varies depending on the number, size, and location of lesions, and whether one or multiple sessions are needed. A consultation at Lipo Sculpt Banstead will provide a tailored quote.
