Cryotherapy

Cold Treatment for Lesion Removal

Cryotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and remove abnormal skin lesions. It is used to treat warts, skin tags,  seborrheic keratosis and precancerous lesions by destroying targeted tissue while preserving surrounding healthy skin.

What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and remove abnormal skin lesions. It effectively treats warts, skin tags, and precancerous lesions by destroying targeted tissue while preserving surrounding healthy skin. This quick procedure promotes healing with minimal discomfort, scarring, and downtime, making it a popular choice for various skin conditions.

Our Approach to Cryotherapy

Stage 1
Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with a detailed assessment to determine if cryotherapy is suitable for your skin condition. Our dermatologist evaluates lesion type, size, and location to tailor a personalized treatment plan that ensures effective and safe outcomes.

Stage 2
Precise Cryotherapy Procedure

During the procedure, we apply liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy the skin lesions. We target lesional skin to improve efficacy and outcomes. 

Stage 3
Post-Procedure Care and Monitoring

After cryotherapy, we provide detailed care instructions to support healing and prevent infection. Regular follow-up appointments monitor progress, address concerns, and ensure the best possible results while maintaining long-term skin health.
