Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a simple, safe, and highly effective dermatology procedure that uses controlled freezing to treat unwanted skin lesions. At our clinic, we offer advanced cryotherapy using medical-grade liquid nitrogen—a fast, comfortable solution for warts, skin tags, corns, callosities, actinic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, and more.
What Is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy (also called cryoablation) involves applying extreme cold to targeted skin lesions. The cold freezes and destroys abnormal tissue while preserving surrounding healthy skin, ensuring clean, cosmetic healing.
It is one of the most trusted dermatology treatments worldwide.
Conditions Treated with Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy works wonderfully for:
- Warts (common, plantar, periungual)
- Skin tags
- Seborrheic keratosis
- Actinic keratosis (pre-cancerous lesions)
- Corns & calluses
- Molluscum contagiosum
- Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN)
- Small benign skin lesions
- Solar lentigines (sun spots)
A dermatologist evaluates and selects lesions ideal for freezing.
Why Choose Cryotherapy?
- Fast and minimally invasive
- No cutting or stitches
- Safe for most skin types
- Ideal for patients seeking quick, clinic-based procedures
- Excellent cosmetic outcome
- Minimal downtime
- Highly effective with low risk
Cryotherapy is often preferred for children and busy adults seeking instant relief.
How Cryotherapy Works
We use medical-grade liquid nitrogen at –196°C. When applied to the lesion:
- It destroys abnormal skin cells
- Initiates natural healing
- New healthy skin forms over the coming days
Freezing time varies based on lesion type and depth.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- The area is cleaned and assessed
- Liquid nitrogen is applied using a spray or cotton-tipped applicator
- You may feel a brief cold or stinging sensation
- The treatment takes seconds per lesion
- No anesthesia required for most patients
Time: 5–15 minutes total
Pain Level: Mild and tolerable
Downtime: Minimal to none
Aftercare & Healing
- Mild redness or swelling may occur for a few hours
- A small blister or scab may form—this is normal
- Keep the area clean and dry
- Avoid picking the scab
- Apply prescribed ointment if recommended
- Healing time: 7–14 days depending on lesion type
- Use sunscreen on exposed treated areas
Healing is usually smooth, with fresh skin replacing the lesion.
