Cryotherapy (Liquid Nitrogen): Targeted Cold Therapy for Skin Health

What Is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy, also known as liquid nitrogen therapy, is a proven, effective treatment that uses extremely cold temperatures to target and treat abnormal skin cells. By freezing these cells, cryotherapy can help eliminate skin warts, particularly those on the hands, feet, and other parts of the body. It is also a useful method in the early stages of treating certain skin cancers, offering a non-invasive solution with minimal recovery time.

How We Treat It

At Dr. Anood Al-Issa Clinic, our specialists utilize cryotherapy with precision to ensure safe and effective treatment of various skin concerns. During the procedure, liquid nitrogen is applied to the targeted area, freezing the abnormal cells and causing them to slough off naturally. This treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and requires no incisions or stitches. With cryotherapy, you can achieve clear, healthy skin without the need for complicated procedures.

Quick and Effective Treatment (What You Should Know)

• Length of Procedure: Variable depending on the size and number of treated areas
• Anaesthesia: None required, as the cooling process is typically tolerable
• Results: Results are visible within 7-10 days
• Number of Sessions: Varies depending on the condition being treated
• Session Intervals: No specific intervals, as treatments are spaced out based on individual needs
• Maintenance: As needed, for recurrent skin conditions
• Downtime: None, with most patients able to return to their daily activities immediately

Helpful Tip:

Cryotherapy is an excellent treatment option for localized skin conditions like warts and early-stage skin cancers. However, the freezing process may cause some initial discomfort, and minor swelling can occur, but it will resolve naturally. For optimal results, follow any aftercare instructions provided by your Dr. Anood Al-Issa Clinic professional to promote healing and prevent scarring.
