Worried About a Mole or Skintag? Try Map My Mole + Expert Mole Removal in Nottingham
At Your Beauty Doctor, we’re always striving to provide the safest, most effective skin treatments available. We’re excited to introduce two fantastic new services in our Nottingham clinic;
CryoPen® treatment for skin lesion removal, and the innovative Map My Mole service, now available to support our mole assessment and removal services.
We asked Dr Jess how CryoPen works, what it can treat, the benefits, and why Map My Mole is a game-changer for monitoring skin health.
Here are some of the most common questions we are asked about lesion removal, at our Mapperley clinic.
Q: What is CryoPen® treatment?
A: CryoPen® is a precise, non-invasive cryotherapy device used to remove benign skin lesions by delivering a fine jet of nitrous oxide at high pressure. This technology allows us to freeze and destroy unwanted skin growths without damaging surrounding tissue. It’s fast, effective, and requires minimal downtime.
Q: What can CryoPen® treat?
A: CryoPen® can treat a wide variety of benign skin lesions, including:
Skin tags
Warts (including plantar warts/verrucas)
Milia (small white bumps)
Cherry angiomas (red moles)
Seborrheic keratosis (benign, brown moles)
Sun spots / age spots
These treatments are suitable for both the face and body, making CryoPen® an ideal choice for patients in Nottingham looking to improve skin appearance with minimal fuss.
Q: What are the benefits of CryoPen® treatment?
Precision: Targets only the lesion, leaving surrounding skin unaffected.
Quick: Most treatments take just a few seconds.
No cutting or stitches: Non-invasive and virtually pain-free.
Minimal downtime: Resume your daily activities immediately.
No scarring: Low risk of scarring or pigmentation issues.
Suitable for all skin types
Whether you're dealing with a bothersome skin tag or a stubborn wart, CryoPen® offers a safe solution right here in Nottingham.
Introducing: Map My Mole – Advanced Mole Mapping without the wait times.
In addition to mole removal services, we’re now offering the Map My Mole service in-clinic.

FAQs: CryoPen® and Mole Mapping at Your Beauty Doctor
Q: Can a mole be removed without clinical review?
A: No, you should see your GP or dermatologist for a clinical review before removal. Our Skin Specialist Mandie will ask you to provide a written report from your GP, or use our Map My Mole service prior to Mole Removal. Using our Map My Mole service, means you have the full facts, and avoid lengthy wait times.
Q: Is CryoPen® treatment painful?
A: Most patients feel only a slight stinging or tingling sensation during the procedure. It’s well-tolerated and no anaesthesia is required.
Q: How long does it take to heal after CryoPen®?
A: Healing typically takes 7–14 days depending on the size and location of the lesion. You may notice a scab forming, which falls off naturally.
Q: Can I treat multiple lesions at once?
A: Yes, we can treat multiple areas in the same session – ideal for busy patients looking for quick results.
Q: Is CryoPen® safe for facial treatments?
A: Absolutely. CryoPen® is precise and safe for sensitive areas, including the face.
Q: Do I need a consultation before mole removal or CryoPen® treatment?
A: Yes. We’ll carry out a consultation at your first appointment, which helps us assess your skin, identify suitable treatments, and ensure the lesion is benign. For patients undergoing Mole removal, you must have had the lesion reviewed by your GP or Dermatologist, or have used our Map My Mole Service.
Q: Can CryoPen® remove cancerous moles?
A: No. We only use CryoPen® for benign lesions. If there is any concern, we will recommend using our Map My Mole for accurate analysis, and if the lesion is of concern, a report will be provided for your GP.
