Cryotherapy Treatments

Warts are common viral skin growths that can appear on different areas of the body. Cryotherapy can be used to freeze selected warts, although more than one treatment may be needed depending on size, depth and response.

Age spots, sun spots and pigmentation spots can develop on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, chest and shoulders. Cryotherapy may be suitable for selected superficial pigmentation lesions following assessment.

Seborrhoeic keratoses are common benign growths that can look raised, rough, waxy or stuck onto the skin. Some are suitable for cryotherapy, depending on their size, thickness, position and appearance.

Cherry angiomas are small red vascular lesions that often appear on the trunk or limbs. Cryotherapy may be suitable for some cherry angiomas following assessment.

Cryotherapy can be considered for a number of small benign lesions. Suitability depends on the appearance, location, size, history and whether the lesion needs further assessment before removal.

Moles require careful consideration before any form of removal. Where appropriate, dermoscopic images can be taken and sent for dermatologist review before a treatment decision is made.

If you have a larger lesion or several small lesions, your appointment may need to be planned differently. We will advise on timing, suitability and whether treatment should be staged.

A medium area may be recommended where there are larger or more noticeable pigmentation lesions requiring a slightly longer treatment appointment.

Larger areas require careful assessment and planning. We will confirm whether cryotherapy is suitable, whether treatment should be staged and what healing response to expect.

For a small selected lesion such as a skin tag, wart, small seborrhoeic keratosis or other suitable benign lesion.

For a medium lesion requiring a more considered treatment time, depending on size, position and lesion type.

Suitable where there is a larger lesion or several small lesions that can be safely treated within one appointment.

Mole mapping uses dermoscopic imagery taken by your practitioner and sent for expert dermatologist review. You will receive a report by email, usually within 48 hours.

This can be booked as a standalone appointment or used alongside cryotherapy planning where a lesion needs further assessment before removal.

Your practitioner will decide whether cryotherapy is suitable. If the lesion needs further review, mole mapping or referral may be recommended before treatment.

We will explain the expected treatment time, likely healing response, possible need for repeat treatment and any risks such as blistering, scabbing, colour change or scarring.

Extreme cold is applied precisely to the lesion. Treatment usually only takes a short time, although the exact duration depends on the lesion type, size and treatment area.

The area may become red, swollen, darker, blistered or scabbed. This is part of the normal healing process and will be explained during your appointment.

You will be advised how to keep the area clean, avoid picking, protect the skin and what to do if you have concerns during healing.

Allow any blister, crust or scab to settle naturally. Picking can delay healing and may increase the risk of scarring or pigmentation change.

A plaster or dressing may be helpful if the area is likely to rub against clothing, shoes or jewellery.

Redness, swelling, tenderness, blistering or scabbing can be normal after cryotherapy. Your practitioner will explain what is expected for your treatment area.

If you experience increasing pain, spreading redness, pus, heat or feel unwell after treatment, seek medical advice.

If you have a skin tag, wart, age spot, sun spot or other lesion you would like removed, the first step is a professional assessment.
