Is liquid freezing painful?

Most patients experience only a brief stinging or burning sensation during treatment, which quickly subsides.

How many treatments will I need?

Many lesions can be successfully treated in a single session, although some may require additional treatments.

Will the lesion fall off immediately?

No. The treated lesion will gradually dry, scab, and fall away as the skin heals.

Will there be a scar?

Most patients heal with minimal to no noticeable scarring, although healing varies depending on the lesion type and individual skin response.

Can multiple lesions be treated at once?

Yes. Multiple benign lesions can often be treated during the same appointment.

Unwanted Skin Tissue Removal

Liquid Freezing (Cryotherapy) is a non-surgical treatment that uses extreme cold to safely remove unwanted benign skin lesions. The treatment works by freezing targeted tissue, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the treated lesion over time while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin.

How it works?

Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to rapidly freeze unwanted skin tissue. The extreme cold destroys the targeted cells, causing the lesion to gradually dry up, scab, and eventually fall away as the skin heals. Depending on the size and type of lesion, multiple treatments may occasionally be required.
