Safe, quick clinic treatment
Effective, Low‑Invasive Treatment
Cryotherapy uses controlled freezing to remove unwanted skin blemishes with precision. The treatment is ideal for:
- skin tags
- pigmented spots
- seborrheic keratosis
- verrucas (plantar warts)
- molluscum contagiosum
- solar lentigo
- actinic keratosis
- haemangiomas
- condyloma
Sessions are typically quick and performed in-clinic by trained practitioners. Most clients experience minimal discomfort and straightforward healing. We assess each lesion first and tailor treatment to your skin type and condition.
What to expect
Procedure and Aftercare
A cryotherapy session begins with a short assessment and cleansing of the area. The practitioner applies a freezing probe or spray to the blemish for a few seconds to a minute depending on size and type. You may feel a cold stinging sensation during treatment; discomfort is usually brief. After the procedure the treated area may redden, blister or scab — this is normal and indicates healing. Most spots heal within a few days to a couple of weeks. Follow-up advice and wound care instructions are provided to ensure the best outcome.
Key Benefits
Cryotherapy offers several advantages: treatments are fast and can often be completed within a single visit, it's suitable for a wide range of benign skin lesions, and recovery typically involves only short-lived redness or scabbing. The procedure is minimally invasive with low risk of scarring when performed correctly. It’s a cost-effective option compared with surgical removal for many blemishes, and follow-up care is straightforward. We recommend a brief consultation to confirm suitability and to discuss expected healing times and any precautions specific to your skin type.

Before and after your visit
Preparation and Follow-Up
Before treatment we conduct a brief skin assessment to confirm the lesion is benign and suitable for cryotherapy. You should avoid applying creams or heavy make-up to the area beforehand. Most sessions last only minutes, and large or multiple lesions may need staged appointments. Aftercare instructions include keeping the area clean, avoiding picking at scabs, and protecting treated skin from strong sunlight while it heals. If you have any bleeding, unusual pain or signs of infection, contact us promptly for follow-up care.
