How does cryotherapy work?

The intense cold causes damage to the targeted cells. There is swelling and dead cells, followed by resolution of the unwanted skin lesion.

What are the advantages of Cryotherapy?

This is a painless and quick outpatient treatment. This has the advantage of being relatively pain-free, as the intense cold causes anesthesia during treatment. This makes cryotherapy treatment a great choice for children. This is also a no-touch treatment, minimizing the chances of cross infection or contamination.

What is the aftercare?

As there is no breach of the skin during the treatment, there is no specific aftercare needed. Rarely, a small cryoblister may appear at the treatment site, which will resolve itself without the need for any additional treatment.

When can I see the results?

Results are seen after 2 to 3 sessions, with the complete resolution of the lesions. Treatments are spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart.
