Some skin concerns need more than a facial or a serum. Skin tags, small benign growths, loose skin around the eyes, and early sagging along the jawline respond best to treatments designed for them specifically.
At our Newton office, we offer CryoPen™, Plasma Pen, and PDO threads, three precise, minimally invasive tools that address these concerns with little downtime. Every treatment begins with a careful evaluation, so you get the right approach for your skin.
A precise cryotherapy device that freezes benign skin tags, small lesions, and some spots, with minimal effect on surrounding skin. Treated spots usually flake away within a few weeks.
Uses a tiny plasma arc to tighten and lift loose skin around the eyes, mouth, and neck without surgery. Collagen continues to build for weeks afterward.
Dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin to lift gently and stimulate collagen. They’re often used along the jawline, cheeks, and brows for subtle contouring.
Your provider recommends the right treatment and explains the steps.
Treatment
The area is cleansed, and numbing is applied when needed.
Most procedures take 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment.
Afterward
Mild redness, swelling, or small scabs are normal and fade over days.
Results continue to improve as your skin heals and builds collagen.

Frequently asked questions
Does CryoPen™ hurt?
Most patients feel a brief sting or pinch, similar to a rubber band snap. Treatments are very quick.
How long do PDO thread results last?

Is there downtime after Plasma Pen?
Expect small dots that scab and flake over about a week, along with some swelling. Most people plan a few quiet days.
