Cryotherapy

Laser hair treatment

What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is an innovative treatment that involves the use of cold and freezing techniques to remove skin lesions from the body. 

Our device emits a fine jet of Nitrous Oxide under high pressure, which allows our clinicians to work with millimetre precision. It destroys the lesions tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals which rupture the membrane, thereby destroying the cell. That means there will be no collateral damage to healthy surrounding tissue. It’s so incredibly accurate and practical.

Cryotherapy FAQs

The duration of the treatment time will depend on the surface area and the thickness of the tissue being treated. Upon the clinical evaluation of the depth of the area, the clinician will choose an application time from 1 to 30 seconds.

The area treated is frozen by Cryotherapy. This kills the localised cells in the area which cause them to shrivel and die. The treated area may go darker over a few weeks, but will return to normal pigmented skin in about 6 weeks.

There will be a pain sensation similar to a stinging nettle on the skin when the Nitrous Oxide reaches the bottom of the area. There might be a little residual stinging for a few minutes after treatment, this is normal.
