Cryotherapy

Summary Content

Cryotherapy is a quick and effective dermatological treatment that uses extreme cold, typically liquid nitrogen, to remove unwanted skin growths such as warts, skin tags, actinic keratoses, and other benign lesions. By freezing the targeted tissue, cryotherapy destroys abnormal cells while sparing most of the surrounding healthy skin.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, cryotherapy is a fast, simple procedure performed in-office with minimal discomfort. The liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the lesion using a spray device or cotton swab. The frozen cells are destroyed, and over the next few days, the treated area will blister, scab, and eventually fall away, revealing fresh, healthy skin beneath.

Cryotherapy is safe for most patients and typically requires little to no downtime. It’s especially popular for treating warts, skin tags, sun spots, and pre-cancerous lesions quickly and non-invasively. Some lesions may require multiple treatments for complete removal. Cryotherapy is an excellent option for those seeking a fast, minimally invasive method to clear unwanted or problematic skin lesions.
