Cryotherapy

If you have a wart, verruca, skin tag or other benign skin lesion that you'd like removed, book a private face-to-face consultation with one of our qualified Prescribing Pharmacists. We'll assess your skin lesion, confirm whether cryotherapy is the most appropriate treatment and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. Cryotherapy is a quick, effective treatment that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal skin tissue, allowing healthy skin to develop as the treated area heals. We'll explain the procedure, expected results and aftercare to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen is a common treatment used to remove warts and verrucas by freezing the affected skin. The extreme cold destroys the infected tissue and helps the wart gradually fall off.

During the procedure, liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the wart for a few seconds, which may cause a stinging or burning feeling. After treatment, the area may become red, swollen, or form a small blister before healing.

Some people need more than one session for complete removal. Keeping the area clean and avoiding picking at the skin can help prevent infection and improve healing.
