Cryotherapy is a well-established treatment for removing warts and sun-damaged skin lesions by applying controlled freezing with liquid nitrogen. The extreme cold destroys abnormal cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
Following treatment, the targeted lesion may blister, scab, or darken before gradually shedding as new skin regenerates beneath. The body’s natural healing process replaces the damaged tissue with healthy skin over time.
Treatment parameters such as freeze time and number of cycles are carefully selected based on lesion type, size, and location to minimise risks of scarring, infection, or pigment changes.
Healing typically occurs within 1–2 weeks, with excellent cosmetic outcomes in most cases.
