The innovative technique involves the use of freezing liquid nitrogen to remove unwanted skin imperfections. The application of extreme cold to your skin is designed to rapidly freeze cells to destroy unwanted tissue.
Cryotherapy can also be used to treat conditions as serious as prostate and liver cancer, it is a common treatment used to deal with warts, verrucas and skin tags.
Compared to traditional minor surgery, cryotherapy is minimally invasive meaning the patient experiences a lot less pain and bleeding with minimal scarring. There is also a much lower risk of damaging tissue surrounding the target area.
Many people have unwanted and unsightly skin tags that cause discomfort, especially when wearing jewellery and clothing. While they start off as small growths, over time they can grow and can resemble a blister. While skin tags are harmless, they often grow in clusters on the neck and body causing irritation.
When wart-like growths appear on the sole of your foot, they are known as a verruca and can take several years to disappear without treatment.
A cryotherapy session at our Milton Keynes clinic will only take 20 minutes. Liquid nitrogen will be applied to your skin for up to 10 seconds using a fine vapour spray – this will be very cold.
The procedure results in skin redness in the affected area that will last for around half an hour. This is a natural part of the cryotherapy process and no dressing is required. The aim is to remove the abnormal cells and to stimulate your body to produce healthy new skin.
In our experience, most people recover quickly and experience little pain (depending on the area of the body being treated). Being CQC registered, Clearer Clinics adheres to medical standards and our qualified clinicians are fully trained in cryotherapy.
