Summary Content

Cryotherapy is a fast and effective dermatological procedure that uses extreme cold—most often liquid nitrogen—to eliminate unwanted skin growths like warts, skin tags, actinic keratoses, and other benign lesions. By freezing the targeted area, cryotherapy destroys abnormal tissue while leaving the surrounding healthy skin largely unaffected.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, this treatment is performed in-office and typically involves minimal discomfort. Liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the lesion using a precision spray or cotton-tipped applicator. The frozen cells are damaged during the process, leading the area to blister, form a scab, and naturally shed over the following days, revealing new, healthy skin.

Cryotherapy is a safe option for most individuals and requires little to no downtime. It’s a popular choice for those looking to treat skin tags, warts, sun spots, or pre-cancerous lesions quickly and with minimal invasiveness. While some growths may need more than one session, cryotherapy remains a convenient and effective solution for clearing bothersome skin concerns.

What Is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy involves the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze and eliminate unwanted skin lesions such as warts, skin tags, and sunspots. This quick, non-invasive treatment works by damaging the targeted tissue, prompting it to naturally shed and allowing fresh, healthy skin to regenerate in its place.
