Cryopen - Solar Lentigines
Do you see resistant brown spots on your hands, face, or arms that won’t fade? These might be Solar Lentigines – sun spots, age spots, darkened by sun exposure over many years. They are harmless, though, but they can make your skin appear older and uneven.
Lipo360 helps you achieve clearer, brighter skin with state-of-the-art treatments specifically tailored for Solar Lentigines.

Solar lentigines Removal Treatment
Personalised Skin Assessment
A thorough skin analysis precedes every journey. Lipo360 , we measure the size, depth, and location of your Solar Lentigines and determine if you are an appropriate candidate for removal with the Jett Plasma Profi device.

CryoPen Precision Treatment
We utilise CryoPen, which is an advanced cryotherapy innovation that is purely used to emit a fine jet of Nitrous Oxide under high pressure, allowing us to work with millimetre precision and destroy cells by freezing the intercellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals which rupture the membrane, thereby destroying the cells and removing Solar Lentigines.
This very focused mechanism remains unsparing to the surrounding skin.
Fast and Focused Sessions
Each sun spot is addressed separately and, in most instances, takes only a few seconds per lesion.
Due to the speed and precision of the CryoPen, the treatment time is very brief, causing little or no pain, and doesn’t require invasive surgery.
Safe and Non-Invasive
CryoPen provides a safe, fast, and effective treatment for the removal of Solar Lentigines with millimetre accuracy – ideal for the face, hands, arms, and other sun-exposed areas.
Post-Treatment Aftercare
We give you post-treatment skincare advice — including the importance of timely sun protection — so that your skin looks and feels its best after you leave.
Using sunblock (with broad spectrum) and avoiding direct sunlight is important to aid your skin’s recovery as well as prevent new pigmentation from appearing.
Visible Results Without Downtime
Many patients see an improvement in their skin after a single session.
And with little downtime and specific fading of dark spots, your skin looks cleaner, even-toned, and more polished.

Q: What differentiates Solar Lentigines from other pigmented lesions at a cellular level?
Solar lentigines result from a chronic increase in melanocyte activity caused by cumulative UV exposure, leading to excess melanin deposition in the basal epidermis without malignant transformation.
Q: Why don’t Solar Lentigines fade on their own once they appear?
UV damage permanently alters melanocyte regulation, causing continuous pigment production even without ongoing sun exposure, which is why topical creams often fail.
Q: Why does treated pigmentation darken before it sheds?
Freezing causes melanin oxidation and cell necrosis, temporarily darkening the spot before it crusts and exfoliates naturally.
Q: How does CryoPen avoid hypopigmentation around treated Solar Lentigines?
The millimetre-precise spray confines freezing to the lesion, preserving surrounding melanocytes and preventing unwanted light patches.
Q: Are Solar Lentigines on hands harder to treat than facial ones?
Yes. Hand skin is thicker and more sun-damaged, often requiring slightly longer freeze times or additional sessions.
Q: What role does sun protection play after Solar Lentigines removal?
UV exposure post-treatment can reactivate melanocytes or trigger new lesions, making broad-spectrum SPF critical during healing.
Q: How does CryoPen specifically target melanocyte-dense areas in Solar Lentigines?
CryoPen freezes intracellular fluid within hyperactive melanocytes, forming ice crystals that rupture cell membranes, effectively destroying pigment-producing cells.
Q: Why is CryoPen effective for flat pigmentation like Solar Lentigines?
Unlike raised lesions, Solar Lentigines are epidermal and pigment-based. CryoPen works at the epidermal level, making it ideal for flat, melanin-driven lesions.
Q: What determines whether a Solar Lentigo clears in one session or needs repeat treatment?
Depth of pigment, lesion size, and duration of sun damage influence response. Long-standing or darker lesions may require staged cryotherapy.
Q: Can CryoPen treat clustered Solar Lentigines without blending treatment zones?
Yes. Each lesion is treated individually, preventing excessive epidermal injury and promoting even cosmetic results.
Q: Why is CryoPen preferred over chemical peels for Solar Lentigines?
Chemical peels affect broad skin areas, while CryoPen selectively destroys pigment cells only where needed, reducing inflammation and downtime.
Q: Do treated Solar Lentigines ever return in the same spot?
Once melanocytes are destroyed, recurrence at the same site is rare. However, new lesions can form elsewhere with continued UV exposure.
