Cryotherapy Treatments in York
Cryotherapy will remove skin tags, to treating verrucas and warts, cryotherapy harnesses the power of extremely cold temperatures to accurately and comfortably tackle stubborn conditions.
Our highly skilled practitioners are thoroughly trained to use the CryoPen – an innovative, state-of-the-art instrument to reduce and eliminate abnormal skin growths. The CryoPen produces a very fine freezing jet that our practitioners use to target problem areas, exposing them to sub-zero temperatures to remove or reduce the lesion. The precise instrument allows us to accurately affect the abnormality, without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.
The procedure is completely pain-free, and so we can safely perform cryotherapy treatments on children with appropriate skin conditions. Specific requirements will be discussed at your initial consultation, but we usually find that the treatment is most effective when performed 2-3 times over one week. Sessions can last between a couple of minutes and an hour, depending on the scale of your condition. Once your cryotherapy plan has been completed, the affected area will blister and fall off 7-10 days after treatment.
This process is completely safe, natural, and entirely painless.

FAQs
What is cryotherapy, and how does it work?
Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses extreme cold, typically liquid nitrogen, to freeze and destroy targeted skin cells, effectively removing unwanted lesions like warts, skin tags, and age spots.
Is cryotherapy safe?
Yes, cryotherapy is generally safe when performed by a qualified professional. The procedure is minimally invasive, and side effects like redness or mild swelling are typically temporary.
How long does a cryotherapy session take?
A typical cryotherapy session for small skin lesions takes just a few minutes. The quick procedure makes it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
What can I expect after the treatment?
After cryotherapy, the treated area may appear red and form a blister before healing. The lesion should fall off within a week or two, leaving smooth skin underneath.
How many sessions are required for effective results?
Many conditions are resolved with a single session, but stubborn lesions like warts may require additional treatments. Your practitioner will advise based on your specific needs.
