Actinic keratoses are scaly, crusty patches of skin that develop due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or from tanning beds.
They typically appear on areas of the skin that have been exposed to the sun over time, such as the face, lips, ears, neck, scalp, forearms and back of the hands.
Actinic keratoses may be red, brown or skin-colored and can range in size from a few millimeters in diameter to several centimeters.
They can be itchy or uncomfortable and may lead to more serious forms of skin cancer if left untreated.
The procedure involves the application of liquid nitrogen to the AK, which causes it to freeze and destroy the lesion. The area may then be covered with petroleum jelly or a dressing to prevent infection.
Cryopen treatment is usually quick and painless, though some patients report slight discomfort during the procedure.
