Skin Lesion Removal
Skin lesion removal using cryotherapy is a quick, non-surgical treatment that freezes and destroys unwanted benign skin lesions. Using controlled bursts of liquid nitrogen, the targeted tissue is safely removed with minimal discomfort and downtime.
About the Treatment

The Process
What to expect
The treatment itself is very quick — most lesions take just seconds to freeze. You may feel a brief stinging or cold sensation during application, which subsides quickly.
- A thorough assessment of the lesion before treatment
- Precise application of liquid nitrogen to the targeted area
- The treated area may blister, scab, and naturally heal over 1–3 weeks
- Most lesions are resolved in a single session
- Follow-up appointment if needed for stubborn or larger lesions
