Sale restricted to healthcare and aesthetics professionals qualified to use it, subject to a declaration when ordering.
Description
The Cryoalfa Super is a cryosurgery device little bigger than a pen. A nitrous oxide (N2O) cartridge screws onto the valve body; when you press the side lever the gas comes out as a liquid from a 1 mm glass capillary and, applied to the lesion, evaporates at −89 °C. The manufacturer calls this technique Liquid Freezing: the cold comes from the contact of the liquid with the skin, not from ice crystals sprayed from a distance.
According to the instructions, freezing advances by about 1 mm every 3 seconds, and the duration is chosen according to the lesion. Among the indications listed by the manufacturer are warts on the hands and plantar warts, condylomas, molluscum contagiosum, seborrhoeic and actinic keratoses, lentigo, dermatofibromas and granulomas. The same instructions exclude malignant tissue and naevi of uncertain nature, and require that it be used only by staff trained in cryosurgery.
On the Super the tip is fixed: if you want to change applicator, choose the Cryoalfa Lux; if you work by contact, the Super Contact. The cartridge has its own valve, so it can be removed and refitted without losing gas.
