Safe and Effective Skin Treatment at Skin by Dr. Nancy

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive dermatological procedure that uses extreme cold to remove unwanted skin growths and treat various skin conditions. At Skin by Dr. Nancy, we offer professional cryotherapy treatments to safely and effectively remove warts, skin tags, keloids, and other lesions with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Our expert dermatologists use precision cryotherapy techniques to ensure quick healing and excellent cosmetic results.

What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy, also known as cryosurgery or cold therapy, involves applying liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal or unwanted skin tissue. This method is highly effective in treating both benign and precancerous skin conditions.

Benefits of Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy offers several advantages, including:

  • Quick and minimally invasive procedure
  • Precise removal of skin lesions with minimal scarring
  • Fast healing and minimal discomfort
  • Safe and effective for various skin types
  • Little to no downtime

Conditions Treated with Cryotherapy

1. Warts

Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can appear on the hands, feet, and other parts of the body. Cryotherapy is an effective treatment for:

  • Common warts
  • Plantar warts (foot warts)
  • Genital warts (requires specialized treatment)

How it Works: Liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the wart, freezing the affected tissue and causing it to fall off naturally.

2. Skin Tags

Skin tags are small, benign growths that can form in skin folds. Cryotherapy helps remove them by:

  • Freezing the skin tag at its base
  • Cutting off blood supply, leading to natural shedding
  • Providing a painless and quick solution

3. Actinic Keratosis (Precancerous Skin Lesions)

Actinic keratosis is a rough, scaly patch caused by sun damage that can develop into skin cancer if untreated. Cryotherapy is an effective treatment to:

  • Destroy abnormal cells before they become cancerous
  • Prevent further skin damage
  • Improve skin texture and health

4. Keloids

Keloids are thick, raised scars that form due to excessive collagen production. Cryotherapy can:

  • Reduce the size and thickness of keloids
  • Minimize itching and discomfort
  • Be combined with steroid injections for enhanced results

5. Seborrheic Keratosis

Seborrheic keratosis is a common non-cancerous skin growth that appears as a rough, dark patch. Cryotherapy helps by:

  • Freezing and removing the lesion
  • Improving skin appearance
  • Preventing recurrence

6. Molluscum Contagiosum

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that causes small, round, painless bumps. Cryotherapy effectively:

  • Destroys the virus in the affected skin cells
  • Prevents the spread of the infection
  • Promotes natural skin healing

What to Expect During Cryotherapy Treatment

At Skin by Dr. Nancy, we ensure a safe and comfortable experience during your cryotherapy procedure. Here’s what you can expect:

Step 1: Consultation – Our dermatologist will assess your skin condition and determine if cryotherapy is the best treatment option.

Step 2: Preparation – The area is cleaned, and a numbing agent may be applied for sensitive spots.

Step 3: Freezing Process – Liquid nitrogen is applied to the lesion using a spray or cotton swab for a few seconds.

Step 4: Recovery and Aftercare – After the procedure, you will receive post-treatment care instructions to ensure proper healing.

Post-Treatment Care and Healing

After cryotherapy, the treated area may form a blister or scab, which is part of the natural healing process. Follow these aftercare tips:

  • Keep the area clean and dry
  • Do not pick at scabs or blisters
  • Apply prescribed ointments if needed
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen
  • Follow up with your dermatologist if necessary

Is Cryotherapy Safe?

Yes! Cryotherapy is a safe and widely used dermatological treatment. Side effects are minimal and may include:

  • Mild redness or swelling
  • Temporary skin discoloration (more common in darker skin tones)
  • A scab that naturally falls off within a few days

Most patients experience full recovery within 1 to 2 weeks.
