What is cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy uses a focused jet of extremely cold gas to freeze and destroy superficial benign lesions with high precision, minimising damage to surrounding skin.

Important: We treat benign lesions only. Suspicious moles or changing lesions require GP/dermatology referral.

Aftercare

Keep area clean and dry; do not pick the crust; SPF on exposed sites. A small mark may persist temporarily.

FAQs

Will it scar? Low risk when aftercare is followed; individual healing varies.
Does it work for all warts? Common warts respond well; stubborn plantar warts may need multiple sessions or GP care.
