Understanding Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy, also known as "cold therapy," uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue. At Cleo, we use liquid nitrogen at temperatures as low as -196°C (-320°F) applied with precision to target specific skin lesions. The intense cold causes the cells to crystallize, rupture, and eventually die, after which your body naturally eliminates the damaged tissue.

This treatment is particularly effective for:

  • Warts: Including common warts, plantar warts, and flat warts
  • Seborrhoeic Keratosis: Benign skin growths that appear as waxy, stuck-on lesions

Skin Tags: Small, soft, flesh-colored growths that typically appear on the neck, armpits, or groin

Is Cryotherapy Right for You?

Cryotherapy is generally suitable for most people with warts, seborrhoeic keratosis, or skin tags. However, it may not be appropriate in certain circumstances, such as:

  • If you have certain circulatory conditions
  • If you have specific cold allergies or sensitivities
  • For lesions very close to the eyes or on the eyelids
  • For certain types of pigmented lesions that require different treatment approaches

During your consultation, Dr. Amna Ahmar will determine if you're an ideal candidate based on your specific situation and skin condition.

The Cleo Cryotherapy Process

Our cryotherapy treatment follows a methodical approach to ensure safety and effectiveness:

Consultation and Assessment

Dr. Amna Ahmar personally examines your skin condition and reviews your medical history to determine if cryotherapy is the appropriate treatment option. During this consultation, she will identify the type of lesion and explain the expected results.

Preparation for Treatment

Before beginning the cryotherapy procedure, the area is cleaned and prepared. For some patients, particularly those with sensitive skin or if treating larger areas, a topical numbing cream may be applied, although most find the procedure quite tolerable without it.

Cryotherapy Application

During the procedure, Dr. Ahmar applies liquid nitrogen to the target area using one of several precise methods:

  • Cotton Swab Application: For small, defined areas
  • Spray Device: For more precise targeting of specific lesions
  • Cryoprobe: For controlled freezing of larger or deeper lesions

The application typically lasts between 5-30 seconds, depending on the size and depth of the lesion being treated. You may feel a brief stinging sensation as the cold is applied, but this discomfort is minimal and temporary.

Post-Treatment Care

After Cryotherapy Treatment, the treated area will become red and may develop a blister within hours. This is a normal part of the healing process. The area will then form a scab that will naturally fall off within 1-3 weeks, revealing new skin beneath. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.

The number of sessions required depends on the type and stubbornness of the lesion being treated. Many skin tags and seborrhoeic keratoses can be removed in just one session. Warts may require 2-3 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart for complete resolution. Dr. Ahmar will provide a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, blistering, and scab formation – all normal parts of the healing process. In some cases, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones, there may be temporary or permanent lightening of the skin in the treated area. Dr. Ahmar will discuss all potential side effects during your consultation.
Recovery time varies depending on the size and location of the treated area. Typically, the treated site will form a blister within 24 hours, which may turn into a scab. This scab usually falls off within 1-3 weeks, revealing new skin underneath. Complete healing may take up to 4-6 weeks for larger areas.
