Safe and effective way to remove skin lesions
Cryotherapy Treatment
Cryotherapy is an innovative freezing treatment that can be used to effectively treat a wide-ranging number of skin lesions.
Lesions on the skin come in all shapes, colours and sizes. Some are easily identified, like moles or warts, while others may be less noticeable growths or tags. Most of these lesions are harmless; however, you may feel self-conscious about their appearance or find them irritating if they catch on clothing.
Using the controlled application of liquid nitrogen to the targeted area, cryotherapy is capable of producing remarkable results in ridding the skin of unsightly blemishes. Cryotherapy treatment can even be used for certain types of skin cancer.
What to expect?
During cryotherapy, the dermatologist will apply a freezing agent to the skin lesion. The area will become numb and you may feel a stinging sensation as the area is frozen. The freezing process only takes a few minutes and is usually well tolerated.
After the treatment, the area may remain numb for up to an hour. You may also see a blister form at the treatment site. This is normal and will eventually heal on its own. The treated area will take on a white or yellow appearance and will scab over within a week. The scab will eventually fall off, revealing new, healthy skin beneath.
Treatment may alter the texture and colour of the skin. For this reason, cryotherapy should be used with caution in patients with darker skin, particularly on exposed areas such as the face, due to the risk of depigmentation.
What does the treatment do?
Cryotherapy damages the abnormal cells within skin lesions, killing them off and allowing the growth of new, healthier skin cells. The freezing only takes between 5 and 30 seconds, depending on the concern being targeted by treatment. Cryotherapy is most commonly used in the treatment of warts and irregular skin growths.
At Dermasurge, all cryotherapy treatments are performed by Dr Hiba Injibar, our founder. As a skilled consultant dermatologist, Dr Hiba is highly experienced at diagnosing most skin concerns, and administering cryotherapy where appropriate in-house at our Harley Street clinic.
Just how cold is cryotherapy?
The cryotherapy spray gun lowers the skin temperature to minus 100C for five to 15 seconds. The burning pain may last up to a minute as the skin thaws. Adults can usually tolerate the procedure well
What skin conditions can cryotherapy treat?
It can be used for any superficial skin lesion that involves mainly the epidermis. This includes benign lesions such as seborrhoeic warts (a benign growth consisting of a build-up of cells), contagious lesions such as viral warts or molluscum contagiosum, and precancerous lesions such as solar keratoses or Bowen’s disease.
All patients must undergo a consultation with Dr Hiba before receiving treatment, in order to fully assess the skin and ensure cryotherapy is the correct course of action for achieving the best results.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!
I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.
Couldn’t Be More Happy
Really positive experience. Beautiful building, small but well maintained and laid out spaces. Friendly, welcoming and very professional reception staff. Efficient registration. The consultation was expert, careful and thorough. Treatment effective. Plus Dr Hiba is a warm and lovely person!
Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.
Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.
The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
