Cryotherapy
or cryosurgery
Cryotherapy or cryosurgery is the application of extreme cold to destroy various skin lesions. The application of ultra-cold liquid causes damage to the treated tissue due to intracellular ice formation (a controlled cold burn).
Cryosurgery is used to treat a number of diseases and disorders, most especially skin conditions like warts, moles, skin tags and solar keratoses.
It is usually used to freeze the tissues at the cellular level. The procedure is used often as it is relatively easy and quick, and is deemed quite low risk.
At JLNA we have a Freezpen which uses N20 cartridges to perform the cryosurgery.
