Cryotherapy is a general term that refers to treatment using cold temperatures. It’s also known as cold therapy. The way it works and the experience of treatment will vary depending on what you are being treated for. Cryotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for wart and skin tag freezing Sheffield offers.
Warts, Verrucae and Skin Tags can be embarrassing and cause irritation. Prescribed treatments or over the counter remedies may not always be effective at getting rid of such stubborn lesions. We offer an effective solution via our latest Cryotherapy treatments.
What does the cryotherapy procedure involve?
We use the Cryo IQ pen device for accurately delivering the liquid nitrogen towards the skin lesion to be removed. The Cryo IQ pen emits a very fine jet, allowing a much more focused and targeted treatment than larger canisters sometimes used. This results in less unwanted side effects, and a more comfortable procedure, due to the fact that surrounding healthy tissue can be avoided.
The procedure lasts only a matter of seconds and although slight discomfort is felt, it does not require anaesthetic and is very well tolerated. The skin lesion will appear white and then thaw back to its original appearance within a minute. Over the next week or two, the skin lesion should scab and fall off. Depending on the nature of the skin lesion involved, it may take more than one procedure for this process to be complete.
