Cryotherapy
About the procedure
A medical procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. Commonly used for skin lesions such as warts, moles, or precancerous growths.
Care before the procedure
- To remove unwanted or harmful skin lesions safely and effectively
- To prevent progression of certain precancerous skin conditions
- To treat benign growths causing discomfort or cosmetic concern
Care during the procedure
- Liquid nitrogen or a specialized cryotherapy device is applied to the targeted tissue
- The extreme cold freezes and destroys abnormal cells while preserving surrounding healthy skin
- The procedure is quick, often lasting only a few minutes depending on the lesion
Care after the procedure
- Mild redness, swelling, or blistering may occur at the treated site
- Avoid scratching or picking at the area to ensure proper healing
- Healing usually occurs within 1–2 weeks, with follow-up visits if needed
