What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy literally translates as ‘treatment using low temperature’. Cryotherapy is often used to treat skin lesions or patches of skin that might look different to the skin that surrounds it.
How does cryotherapy for skin lesions work?
Cryotherapy for skin lesions works by using liquid nitrogen, which is extremely cold, to freeze the skin creating a blister underneath the lesion. As the blister heals and new skin forms, the abnormal skin peels off.
A few days after the treatment, a scab will form which will take 1-2 weeks to heal. The area that has been treated should be fully healed within 3-6 weeks.
Which skin lesions can be treated using cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is most commonly used to treat skin lesions such as warts and skin tags, and sometimes other conditions such as seborrheic keratosis and actinic keratosis, which is sun damaged skin. Cryotherapy for skin lesions can also be used to treat acne, scars and small benign growths.
