What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a non-surgical medical procedure that involves freezing tissue to remove skin lesions, such as areas of pigmentation (solar keratosis), warts and skin tags. New cells then replace the area treated.
How is cryotherapy performed?
During cryotherapy, liquid nitrogen is applied to the area of the skin using a specialised .
This freezes the cells, causing them to die.
The freezing temperature during cryotherapy is typically around -196 degrees Celsius (-320 degrees Fahrenheit).
The length of time the freezing agent is applied varies depending on the size and location of the skin lesion.
The freezing process also removes any remaining abnormal cells and promotes healing.
It can take a few sessions to remove the affected area.
