The term “Cryotherapy” literally means treatment using low temperature, and refers to the removal of skin lesions by freezing them. The common agent used by Practitioners is liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is the liquid state of gaseous nitrogen, which accounts for 78% of the air we breathe. It is extremely cold, and it is necessary to store and transport it in special flasks. A wide variety of benign lesions can be treated with Cryotherapy, but it is most commonly used to remove:
- Actinic keratosis (an area of sun damaged skin, predominantly found on sun exposed parts of the body.
- Viral warts / Verruca
- Seborrheic keratosis
- Other benign lesions
- Bowen’s disease
