  What is Cryotherapy?
  Cryotherapy is a procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy unwanted tissue � most unwanted skin lesions can be treated in this way, including as warts, moles, skin tags and verucas amongst others.
  How Does it Work?
  Tissue cells are destroyed during the procedure when they are rapidly brought down to a low temperature forming ice crystals. The ice crystals break down the structure of the cell and water then fills the surrounding area creating a blister. Healing occurs within 1 to 6 weeks depending on the depth of the freeze.
  Is it painful?
  There may be some tingling with the initial freezing, but most patients get an anaesthetic effect from the extreme freezing temperatures. More of a pinching sensation occurs when the area thaws out. Some patients may have some discomfort the day after the first procedure but ibuprofen is usually adequate to alleviate this.
  Will there be scarring?
  Typically cryosurgery leaves the least amount of scarring of any form of lesion removal because it causes the least damage to the connective tissue. The area of skin treated will appear lighter than the surrounding skin which usually darkens with new tanning.
  Procedure:
  Cryotherapy is a technique of local freezing of the tissue for controlled destruction and removal of unwanted skin tissue.
  Application of cold to minimize the pain of trauma and decrease inflammation is known since Ancient Egyptian time. Variety of cryogens like CO2 slush, liquid nitrogen are used to treat skin conditions such as warts, cystic acne, acne scars and few precancerous and cancerous skin conditions.
  Benefits:
  Cryogen is sprayed onto skin lesion for a specific time period. Cure rate is high and cosmetic results are excellent. All ages can be treated with cryotherapy. Multiple sessions maybe required to achieve desired results.
