What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen at Polyclinic Alabdulla is a minimally invasive, fast, and effective procedure used to remove various skin lesions. It is performed on an outpatient basis in a dermatology clinic under strict medical supervision.
Cryotherapy is most commonly performed immediately after a dermatological examination confirms skin lesions such as warts or keratoses.
Which Skin Conditions Can Be Treated with Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy for skin lesions at Dea Clinic is used for:
- viral warts (verrucae vulgares, plantar warts)
- seborrheic keratoses
- actinic keratoses (sun-related skin damage)
- small superficial skin tumors, based on dermatologist evaluation
- keloids and hypertrophic scars (according to the clinic price list)
Before the procedure, the dermatologist performs a clinical and dermoscopic examination to assess the type of lesion and determine whether cryotherapy is a safe and appropriate treatment option.
What Does the Cryotherapy Procedure Look Like?
Cryotherapy is a short outpatient procedure that does not require local anesthesia.
Procedure steps:
- Disinfection of the treatment area
- Application of liquid nitrogen directly onto the lesion using a spray or applicator
- Freezing of the lesion for several seconds, depending on its type and thickness
- Mild redness, possible swelling, and later formation of a scab or blister
- Healing over one to two weeks with gradual disappearance of the lesion
For certain lesions, repeated treatment sessions at intervals of several weeks may be required, which the dermatologist plans individually.
