Cryotherapy (Warts & Skin tag Removal)

Cryotherapy (Warts & Skin tag Removal)

Cryotherapy (cold therapy) is an effective and non-invasive treatment that uses low temperatures to promote effective healing.  

 

Used for over 200 years and well established in the medical field, it’s often used to treat skin problems such as warts and verrucae, skin tags, milia, cherry angioma/Campbell de Morgan, pigmentation, pigmented moles and keratosis. Treatment takes just a minute or two and can provide excellent results if the patient pays attention to aftercare.  

 

Cryotherapy causes the water in the skin cells to freeze. If the temperature drops rapidly to below -27°C, the water expands and the cell walls fracture, causing the cell wall to be destroyed. It also destroys the nucleus of the cell and allows any skin lesions to fall off painlessly. 

Cryotherapy is available for people with skin problems such as warts and verrucae, skin tags, milia, cherry angioma/Campbell de Morgan, pigmentation, pigmented moles and keratosis.

Our effective Cryotherapy Service is open to anyone seeking treatment for their skin condition quickly and effectively. However, certain groups should not undergo Cryotherapy treatment without first speaking to their GP.
