Cryotherapy (Skin Tag Removal)
About This Treatment
Cryotherapy is a fast and effective treatment used to remove unwanted skin tags and other minor benign skin lesions. The procedure works by applying controlled extreme cold to the area, freezing and destroying the unwanted tissue so it can naturally fall away during the healing process.
What Can Cryotherapy Treat?
- Skin tags
- Age spots
- Sun spots
- Verrucas
- Warts
- Other minor benign skin lesions
How It Works
The practitioner uses a specialist cryotherapy device to apply a precise jet of extremely cold gas or liquid nitrogen to the targeted area. This freezes the tissue, causing the cells to break down. Over the following days the treated area may darken or form a small scab before naturally falling away.
