What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is a minimally-invasive treatment that uses liquid nitrogen to treat a skin lesion.  Dermatologists use the liquid nitrogen in a controlled form to treat a pre-cancerous or unwanted lesion. The lesion is specifically targeted with the liquid nitrogen and frozen, which causes the tissue to eventually die and sluff off.

Treatment

While cryotherapy can treat pre-cancerous lesions, it is often used cosmetically treat benign skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, and solar lentigines.
