Cryotherapy Clinic in Barnsley

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment used to remove skin lesions by applying extreme cold, typically using liquid nitrogen. The cold temperature freezes the targeted tissue, causing the lesion to break down and eventually fall off as the skin heals.

How It Works:

Application – Liquid nitrogen is applied to the lesion using a spray

Over the next few days to weeks, the frozen tissue gradually blisters, scabs, and eventually sheds, revealing new, healthy skin underneath.

Common Uses:

Cryotherapy is commonly used to treat:

• Skin tags

• Warts

• Actinic keratosis (precancerous skin patches)

• Seborrheic keratosis (non-cancerous growths)

• Other benign lesions

Benefits:

• Quick and minimally invasive

• Little to no downtime

• Low risk of scarring when performed correctly

• Suitable for various skin types and lesions

Aftercare:

• The treated area may be red, swollen, or blistered temporarily

• Keep the area clean and avoid picking at scabs

• Healing typically takes 1–2 weeks, depending on the lesion size
