Cryotherapy is a safe, precise, and highly effective treatment that uses extreme cold to remove unwanted skin lesions. It’s a non-invasive procedure, meaning there’s no cutting or surgery involved, and it targets only the affected area while leaving surrounding skin healthy. This makes it a quick, convenient, and minimally disruptive option for improving the appearance and health of your skin.
All cryotherapy treatments at our clinic are carried out by a registered GP, ensuring the highest standards of safety and professional care.
During the treatment, a small applicator or spray delivers very cold temperatures directly to the lesion. The freezing process causes the targeted tissue to break down, and over the following days, the body naturally removes the treated area while healthy skin regenerates in its place.
The procedure is typically quick — often just a few minutes per lesion — and may cause a brief tingling, stinging, or mild discomfort while the cold is applied. Most patients find it very tolerable, and downtime is minimal, allowing you to continue with normal daily activities almost immediately.
Cryotherapy is highly effective for treating a wide range of common skin lesions, including:
Skin tags – small, harmless growths that can appear on the neck, underarms, or eyelids.
Solar lentigo & pigment spots – often called sun spots or age spots, these darken with sun exposure.
Actinic keratosis – rough, scaly patches caused by sun damage that can potentially progress if left untreated.
Seborrheic keratosis – benign, slightly raised growths that commonly appear with age.
Hemangiomas – clusters of blood vessels, sometimes referred to as birthmarks.
Plantar warts – caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and commonly found on the feet.
Condyloma & molluscum contagiosum – viral lesions that can be safely treated with targeted freezing.
