Summary Content

Cryotherapy is a fast and effective dermatological treatment that uses extreme cold—most commonly liquid nitrogen—to eliminate unwanted skin growths such as warts, skin tags, actinic keratoses, and other benign lesions. The freezing process destroys abnormal cells while preserving the majority of surrounding healthy tissue.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, cryotherapy is a quick, in-office procedure performed with minimal discomfort. Liquid nitrogen is carefully applied to the lesion using either a spray or a cotton-tipped applicator. The treated tissue freezes and, over the following days, forms a blister or scab that naturally peels away to reveal healthy new skin.

This safe, low-risk treatment is suitable for most patients and requires little to no downtime. Cryotherapy is particularly effective for addressing warts, skin tags, sun damage, and certain precancerous growths. In some cases, multiple sessions may be needed to achieve complete clearance. For those looking for a non-invasive, efficient way to treat skin lesions, cryotherapy is an excellent option.

What Is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is a fast, non-invasive procedure that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and remove unwanted skin lesions like warts, skin tags, and sunspots. The controlled freezing targets and destroys abnormal tissue, triggering the body’s natural shedding process and encouraging healthy skin regeneration.

What Conditions Can Cryotherapy Address?

Cryotherapy is an effective treatment for a range of common benign and pre-cancerous skin conditions:

  • Warts: Freezes and eliminates both common and plantar warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
  • Skin Tags: Gently removes soft, non-cancerous skin growths commonly found on the neck, eyelids, and underarms.
  • Sunspots (Solar Lentigines): Treats darkened spots from sun exposure, helping to restore a more even skin tone.
  • Actinic Keratoses: Targets rough, scaly patches that may develop into skin cancer if left untreated.
  • Seborrheic Keratoses: Removes raised, waxy lesions that are often associated with aging.

Cryotherapy offers a quick, low-risk approach for treating various skin concerns, with minimal discomfort and a short recovery period.

What To Expect During Your Cryotherapy Session

  • Consultation and Evaluation:
    Your dermatologist will assess the lesion and determine if cryotherapy is the most appropriate treatment option for your skin concern.
  • Preparing the Skin:
    The area will be thoroughly cleansed, and precautions may be taken to shield nearby healthy tissue.
  • Cryotherapy Procedure:
    Liquid nitrogen is carefully applied to the lesion, rapidly freezing the targeted tissue.
  • Immediately After Treatment:
    The treated area may appear white and may swell or develop a blister within a few hours of the procedure.
  • Post-Treatment Care:
    You'll be instructed to keep the area clean, avoid disturbing any scabs, and protect the skin from friction and direct sun exposure.
  • Healing and Outcome:
    Over the course of 1 to 3 weeks, the lesion will crust, dry out, and naturally fall off, revealing newly regenerated skin beneath.

Cryotherapy FAQs:

Cryotherapy treats warts, skin tags, actinic keratoses, sun spots, and other benign or pre-cancerous skin lesions.

You may feel a brief stinging or burning sensation during the freezing process, but discomfort is usually minimal and temporary.

Most treated areas heal within 1–3 weeks, depending on the size and location of the lesion.
