Cryotherapy Treatment

Targeted liquid nitrogen treatment for skin lesions

Cryotherapy uses controlled application of liquid nitrogen to precisely freeze and destroy benign skin lesions — including warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, actinic keratoses, skin tags and molluscum. Treatment takes just minutes per lesion with minimal scarring and no surgical incision required.

When liquid nitrogen is applied to a skin lesion at −196°C, it destroys the abnormal cells through ice crystal formation and vascular disruption. The treated tissue blisters and falls away over 1–2 weeks, leaving healthy skin underneath. Multiple lesions can be treated in a single appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cryotherapy Treatment

Does cryotherapy hurt?

There is a sharp cold stinging sensation during treatment that resolves quickly. Most patients tolerate cryotherapy without anaesthesia, though topical numbing cream can be applied for larger lesions.

Will cryotherapy leave a scar?

Mild temporary hypopigmentation is common at the treated site but usually resolves. Scarring is rare when treatment is performed correctly with appropriate freeze times.
