In the world of modern skincare, cryotherapy has emerged as a reliable and efficient method for removing various skin lesions with minimal discomfort. Whether you’re dealing with skin tags, warts, or pigmentation spots, this quick, non-invasive treatment can deliver noticeable results.
At InstaBeauty Aesthetics in Cambridge,UK, we specialise in cryotherapy treatments designed to remove unwanted skin lesions safely and effectively. But what exactly is cryotherapy, and how does it work? Let’s break it down.
What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy involves applying extreme cold—usually through liquid nitrogen or nitrous oxide—to freeze and destroy abnormal or unwanted skin tissue. The procedure is highly targeted, allowing precise treatment of lesions without harming the surrounding skin.
Common skin concerns treated with cryotherapy include:
- Skin tags
- Warts
- Age spots
- Seborrhoeic keratoses
- Solar lentigines (sun spots)
- Milia and other benign lesions
Thanks to its precision, cryotherapy has become a go-to solution for addressing minor skin issues safely and effectively.
How Cryotherapy Works
During a session, a trained practitioner applies a burst of freezing gas to the targeted lesion using a specialised device. The extreme cold destroys the unwanted cells, prompting the skin to naturally heal and shed the lesion. Here’s what typically happens:
- The lesion is assessed and cleaned.
- A short application of cold gas is directed at the lesion.
- The area may temporarily blister or scab.
- Within days to weeks, the lesion fades or falls off as healing progresses.
Most clients describe the sensation as a brief sting or cold tingle, and sessions typically last just a few minutes.
Benefits of Cryotherapy for Lesion Removal
Choosing cryotherapy offers several practical advantages:
- Minimally invasive – no needles, cutting, or stitches required.
- Fast treatment – sessions often take under 10 minutes.
- Low risk – minimal side effects when performed by professionals.
- Little to no downtime – you can return to normal activities straight away.
- Precision treatment – targets only the lesion, preserving healthy skin.
These qualities make cryotherapy a great choice for those looking to treat skin imperfections safely and efficiently.
Who Can Benefit from Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is suitable for most individuals looking to remove benign skin lesions without undergoing surgery. However, a professional consultation is essential to determine whether the lesion is appropriate for this type of treatment.
At InstaBeauty Aesthetics, we provide a detailed consultation before any cryotherapy session to ensure it’s the right choice for you.
