Cryotherapy treats skin lesions by freezing them with liquid nitrogen applied for a few seconds using a spray or cotton-tipped applicator. It is commonly used for warts, skin tags, rough sun-damaged patches and benign growths. It is quick, done in the clinic and usually needs no anaesthesia. Patients looking for a dermatologist in Mulund for wart removal can book at the nearest Apex unit.

How the Procedure Can Help

Cryotherapy removes troublesome growths such as warts without cutting, so recovery is simple and the procedure takes only minutes. It relieves pain, reduces the risk of catching on clothing, and eases embarrassment about visible lesions.

Risks and Considerations

Stinging, redness, blistering and a scab are common, and the area heals over one to two weeks. Skin colour may change, especially in darker skin, but scarring is uncommon. Warts may return, and more than one session is often needed, usually two to three weeks apart.
