Cryotherapy is a common and effective treatment used to remove skin growths such as warts, skin tags, and other benign lesions. At Neighborhood Medical Center in Dallas, TX, we offer cryotherapy as a quick and minimally invasive solution to eliminate unwanted skin growths.
The procedure involves using liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue. When applied to the skin, the cold temperature causes the growth to form a blister and eventually fall off. Cryotherapy is an excellent option for patients looking for a non-surgical, low-risk method to treat common skin conditions.
Cryotherapy is most often used for:
- Warts: Common skin growths caused by a viral infection.
- Skin Tags: Small, harmless flaps of skin that can appear anywhere on the body.
- Actinic Keratoses: Precancerous skin growths that can develop due to sun exposure.
The procedure is typically quick and can be done in-office with little to no downtime. Some mild discomfort or redness may occur after treatment, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days.
If you’re dealing with unwanted skin growths, cryotherapy could be the solution you need. At Neighborhood Medical Center, our experienced healthcare providers will evaluate your condition and recommend the best course of treatment. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.
