What Are Angiofibromas?
Imagine waking up, looking in the mirror, and spotting a small, red bump on your cheek. You think, “Probably a pimple,” and move on. A week later? Still there. That persistent little intruder might just be an angiofibroma. These benign growths, made up of blood vessels and fibrous tissue, commonly appear on the face especially around the nose and cheeks. They’re not dangerous, but let’s face it: they don’t exactly help your selfie game.
They range in size, sometimes barely visible, other times resembling tiny red or flesh-toned domes. While not life-threatening, they can bleed, become irritated, or simply be cosmetically frustrating.
Unsurprisingly, many people like our fictional friend Malcolm, who was once mistaken for having a “permanent nosebleed” choose to seek Angiofibroma Treatment in Basingstoke to get back to feeling like themselves in the mirror.

Why Do They Keep Coming Back?: Though angiofibromas are non-cancerous, their stubbornness is legendary. Treat them once, and there’s still a solid chance they’ll return to grace your face again. It’s like playing dermatological whack-a-mole.

Cutting Edge in Basingstoke: CryoPen to the Rescue: Enter CryoPen a sleek, pen-sized device that brings medical-grade frostbite to your unwanted facial bumps. It works by spraying a jet of compressed gas at an icy -89°C directly onto the angiofibroma. This extreme cold rapidly freezes the tissue, which your body then naturally clears away. No scalpels. No stitches. Just science and cold vengeance.
-
How It Works (Without the Science Lecture): CryoPen forms a micro ice ball at the device's tip. When it’s applied to the lesion, it targets the rogue blood vessels with surgical precision. The result? Localized cellular destruction think of it as cryogenic justice. The best part? Disposable tips mean zero risk of infection, and the treatment usually causes only minor discomfort like a chilly pinch.

Aftercare: Be Kind to Your Skin: Post-treatment, expect some redness and maybe a little swelling. Totally normal. It’s your skin’s way of saying, “Whoa, what was that?” Avoid scratching or picking tempting as it may be. And if you venture outside, SPF is your new best friend. Direct sunlight is not.
