Cryotherapy Services at Murrays Chemist – Harrow

Restore Clearer Skin with Medical-Grade Cryotherapy Cryotherapy is a safe, quick, and effective treatment that uses intense cold to remove a wide range of benign skin lesions. At Murrays Chemist in Harrow, we use the advanced CryoPen system to deliver precision treatments with minimal discomfort and excellent cosmetic results.

What Is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy involves applying a fine jet of nitrous oxide under high pressure to freeze the tissue, which then naturally peels away as part of the healing process. The CryoPen is a medical-grade, CE-marked cryosurgical device that delivers far more precision, control, and safety compared to over-the-counter freeze sprays.

Common Skin Lesions Treated with Cryotherapy

Warts
Small, rough skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear anywhere on the body and are often contagious.
Types include:

• Common warts: Raised and rough, usually on hands and fingers

• Flat warts: Smoother, smaller, often on face and legs

• Mosaic warts: Clustered warts, especially on hands or feet

Verrucas (Plantar Warts)
Warts that grow on the soles of the feet. Often flat due to pressure from walking and may be painful, with a central black dot.

Skin Tags
Small, soft, benign skin growths that hang off the skin. Common in skin folds like the neck, armpits, or groin. Often caused by friction or hormonal changes.

Benign Skin Lesions
Non-cancerous growths such as:

• Seborrhoeic keratoses: Brown, waxy or “stuck-on” patches often seen in older adults

• Dermatofibromas: Firm, raised bumps usually on the legs, sometimes from insect bites or minor injuries

Cherry Angiomas
Bright red or purple dome-shaped spots on the skin. Caused by a cluster of dilated blood vessels. Common with age and harmless.

Sun Spots / Pigmentation Issues (Solar Lentigines)
Flat, brown patches on sun-exposed skin like the face, hands, and arms. Also called age spots or liver spots. Linked to cumulative UV exposure.

Milia
Tiny white cysts under the skin, often found on the face (especially around the eyes and cheeks). Caused by trapped keratin and dead skin cells.

Why Choose Cryotherapy at Murrays Chemist?

• We use CryoPen technology, delivering temperatures as low as -89°C for maximum effectiveness
• No need for scalpels, anaesthesia, or dressings
• Minimal downtime and no damage to surrounding skin
• Trained pharmacist-led service in a clean, private consultation room
• Free lesion assessment with your paid consultation

Over-the-counter freeze pens are designed for home use, typically freeze at -60°C, lack precision, and risk incomplete treatment or skin damage. The CryoPen offers clinical accuracy, deeper freezing, and safer outcomes.

Pricing

• Consultation Fee: £30 (deducted from treatment cost if you proceed)
• Single Lesion Treatment: £59 (includes 2 sessions)
