What Is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a medical procedure that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and remove abnormal skin cells. It is commonly used for treating:
How It Works:
Cryotherapy destroys the targeted tissue, allowing the body to naturally replace it with healthy skin over time.
This in-clinic procedure is performed by a trained healthcare professional.

✔ Mild discomfort or stinging may occur during the procedure.
✔ The treated area may turn white or darker immediately due to freezing.
✔ Within hours to days, the area may become red, swollen, or blistered, followed by scabbing or crusting, which usually resolves within 7-14 days.
Your skin will naturally heal, but proper aftercare is essential for the best results.

Caring for the Treated Area
✔ Keep the area clean and dry – Wash gently with water and a mild, non-soap cleanser (e.g., QV, Cetaphil, Dermaveen).
✔ Avoid picking at scabs or blisters – This reduces the risk of scarring or infection.
✔ Apply a simple, fragrance-free moisturizer (e.g., Dermeze, Cetaphil, Dermaveen) to prevent excessive dryness.
Pain Management & Recovery Tips
✔ If discomfort occurs, apply a cold compress or take paracetamol (if suitable for you).
✔ Avoid ibuprofen or aspirin unless prescribed, as they may increase bruising.
Sun Protection After Treatment
✔ Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area.
✔ Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) if the area is exposed.
Proper aftercare supports faster healing and reduces complications.
