Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy unwanted skin lesions including warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, actinic keratoses, and skin tags. At Safa Skin and Hair Clinic, we perform cryotherapy with precision and care for safe, effective lesion removal.
Our dermatologists assess each lesion before treatment to determine the appropriate freeze time, number of freeze-thaw cycles, and expected healing to achieve optimal removal with minimal scarring.
Cryotherapy is a quick, well-tolerated procedure requiring no anaesthesia for most applications. Liquid nitrogen is applied precisely to the lesion, causing controlled cell destruction and subsequent healing.
The procedure is safe, effective, and associated with good cosmetic outcomes for most lesion types, with full healing typically occurring within 2 to 4 weeks of treatment.
We evaluate the lesion dermoscopically and clinically to confirm its nature, determine the freeze parameters, and select the appropriate cryotherapy delivery method.
The cryotherapy procedure, expected blistering and healing process, and post-treatment care are explained in detail before treatment is performed.
Liquid nitrogen is precisely applied to the lesion using spray or cryoprobe technique, delivering a controlled freeze that destroys the target tissue effectively.
Post-cryotherapy care guidance is provided, with follow-up to assess healing and determine if repeat treatment is needed for complete lesion clearance.
