What is cryotherapy used for in aesthetics?
Aesthetic cryotherapy uses extreme cold to treat skin tags, warts, age spots, seborrhoeic keratoses, cherry angiomas and small benign lesions. It can also refer to whole-body cryotherapy chambers used for recovery and skin tightening, though evidence for cosmetic benefits of the latter is limited.
How does cryotherapy remove skin lesions?
Liquid nitrogen or nitrous oxide is applied to the lesion, freezing the tissue to -20°C to -40°C. This destroys the targeted cells through ice crystal formation. The treated area blisters, scabs and heals over 1-3 weeks, leaving new healthy skin beneath.
Is cryotherapy painful?
You will feel a cold, stinging sensation during freezing which lasts 10-30 seconds per lesion. Mild throbbing or tenderness may follow for a few hours. Most patients tolerate it well without anaesthetic. The procedure is very quick — most lesions take under a minute to treat.
How many cryotherapy sessions do I need?
Many lesions clear in a single session. Warts and thicker lesions may need 2-3 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Larger or deeper lesions sometimes require additional treatment. Your practitioner will assess at a follow-up appointment whether further treatment is needed.
Will cryotherapy leave a scar?
Cryotherapy usually heals with minimal scarring. Temporary lightening of the skin (hypopigmentation) at the treatment site is common and may last several months, particularly on darker skin. Blistering is normal and should not be popped. Proper aftercare reduces scarring risk.
