Cryotherapy uses extremely cold liquid nitrogen (–196°C) to destroy skin cells that need removal. It's commonly used to treat non-cancerous or pre-cancerous skin lesions such as sunspots, warts, and some early skin cancers.
The goal is to freeze the target area quickly and allow it to thaw slowly, killing abnormal cells. Healthy tissue regenerates as part of the healing process.
The procedure may cause mild discomfort and can result in redness, swelling, or blistering. A crust will typically form and fall off within a week. Healing may take longer in areas like the lower legs.
In most cases, cryotherapy does not leave a mark. However, some patients may experience temporary skin discolouration. If a lesion persists after two or three treatments, a biopsy may be needed.
