Cryotherapy – wart removal through freezing

Cryotherapy, also known as dermatological cryosurgery, is one of the most commonly used methods for removing skin lesions. It’s a minimally invasive, safe, and highly effective procedure. The treatment involves precisely freezing the affected tissue with liquid nitrogen, leading to its controlled removal and stimulating the skin’s natural regeneration processes. Thanks to its targeted action, cryotherapy does not damage the healthy tissue surrounding the lesion.

No special preparation is necessary.

Is this tight for you?

Cryotherapy is recommended for individuals with:

viral warts (common warts)
soft fibromas (skin tags)
actinic keratosis (sun-induced skin changes)
molluscum contagiosum
genital warts
other benign skin lesions that require removal

Treatment process

STEP I: Disinfection

STEP II: Application of liquid nitrogen

Results

The result of cryotherapy is the effective removal of the skin lesion and a noticeable improvement in the appearance of the treated area. The skin regains a smooth texture and even tone, with no visible signs of intervention. By stimulating the body’s natural regeneration processes, new skin forms evenly—minimizing the risk of scarring or discoloration.

Post-Treatment Care

Do not puncture any blisters that may form
Apply an antiseptic solution to the treated area
Avoid sun exposure until the skin has fully healed
Refrain from using irritating cosmetics or creams
Maintain proper hygiene and avoid scratching or rubbing the treated area

Contraindications

Cryotherapy is not recommended for individuals with cold sensitivity, blood clotting disorders, or autoimmune diseases. It is also not advised for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Active skin infections in the treatment area and certain advanced systemic conditions—such as uncontrolled cardiovascular diseases—are also contraindications. The decision to proceed with cryotherapy is always made by a physician following a consultation.
