Cryotherapy uses controlled cold to remove small, benign skin lesions. It's a well-established treatment, done in minutes, with no need for cutting or stitches. Most lesions need one to three sessions depending on size and type.
If you recognise yourself in any of the problems below, get in touch — these are exactly the kind of problems cryotherapy is designed to help with.
Cryotherapy uses controlled freezing to treat suitable minor, benign skin lesions — quickly and without cutting.
A fine probe or spray applies intense cold to the lesion for a short time. The treated tissue is then shed naturally over the following weeks as healthy skin regenerates beneath it.
It's a well-established treatment, done in minutes, with no stitches and no long healing period.
The lesion is examined first. Cryotherapy is for known, benign lesions only — anything that looks suspicious or unusual is referred to your GP rather than treated.
Controlled cold is applied to the lesion for a few seconds at a time until the freeze reaches the right depth. Most treatments are complete within minutes.
Redness, mild swelling and sometimes a blister are normal over the next few days — that's the body's way of shedding the treated tissue and growing healthy skin in its place.
Most lesions need one to three sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart. You'll be advised on timing at your first visit.
