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

seborrheic keratosis Before and after Cryotherapy

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS CRYOTHERAPY PAINFUL?

Most people report only minor discomfort during cryotherapy. The freezing process can cause a stinging or burning sensation, but this typically subsides within a few minutes.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME OF CRYOTHERAPY?

The recovery time for cryotherapy is usually short. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CRYOTHERAPY?

Cryotherapy is a safe and effective way to remove skin lesions with minimal risk of scarring or other complications. It is also a quick and easy procedure that can be done in the doctor’s office with little to no downtime.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF CRYOTHERAPY?

As with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks associated with cryotherapy. These include:

– Pain or discomfort during the procedure
– Swelling, redness and bruising around the treatment site
– Infection at the treatment site
– Changes in skin colour around the treatment site
– Scarring
– Allergic reaction to the freezing agent (this is rare)

You should discuss any concerns you have about cryotherapy with your dermatologist prior to the procedure.

WILL I NEED MORE THAN ONE CRYOTHERAPY TREATMENT?

The number of treatments needed depends on the condition being treated. Some skin conditions may clear up after a single treatment, while others may require multiple treatments.

If you have any further questions about cryotherapy, please get in touch and schedule an appointment.

am i suitable for cryotherapy?

There are a number of contraindications to cryotherapy, including pregnancy, hypertension, arrhythmia, symptomatic cardiovascular disease, venous thrombosis, and Raynauld’s Syndrome to name a few. During your consultation, Dr Injibar will question you about your medical history to determine that cryotherapy is safe for you and recommend alternative treatments if needed.

Dr kept me at ease throughout the procedure and made sure I was doing well at all times. I was able to recover without any trouble in the timescale I was given and the result was clear to see. Would highly recommend Dr Hiba Injibar.

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%.

Dr. Hiba removed a dermal piercing for me and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and completely honest throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence in her care.

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.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

I’ve been attending Dermasurge for the past 4 months for laser and Botox treatments. The staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. An excellent TEAM!
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.

Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

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.
