Revitalize Your Skin with Advanced Cryotherapy Benefits

Our Cryotherapy Treatment Process

At Terra Skin Clinic, your cryotherapy journey begins with an initial consultation and thorough lesion assessment. This step ensures that cryotherapy is the appropriate treatment for your specific skin condition.

During the procedure, liquid nitrogen is carefully applied to the lesion using a cotton swab or spray device. The extreme cold freezes the targeted tissue, causing it to die and eventually fall off. Each session is typically brief, lasting only a few minutes, though the overall treatment plan may require multiple sessions depending on the lesion's size and type.

Post-treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and blistering, which are normal reactions and usually subside within a few days. Specific aftercare instructions from your practitioner include avoiding sun exposure and keeping the treated area clean to facilitate proper healing.

It's important to note that Cryotherapy might not be suitable for skin of color due to the higher risk of burns and hyperpigmentation. A thorough examination by an experienced professional is essential to avoid complications, and to explore other suitable treatment options.

Monitoring for recurrence is crucial, and follow-up appointments may be necessary to ensure complete removal of the lesion. Potential side effects, such as changes in skin pigmentation, are generally mild and manageable with appropriate care.

Expected Results and Follow-Up

Following cryotherapy at Terra Skin Clinic, visible improvements and lesion resolution typically begin within a few days to weeks. The treated lesion will gradually darken, blister, and eventually fall off, revealing healthier skin beneath. Depending on the lesion's size and type, multiple sessions may be required for complete removal, often spaced several weeks apart.

Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring the healing process and ensuring the lesion has been fully eradicated. These visits allow your practitioner to check for any signs of recurrence and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Long-term care involves regular skin checks and adopting preventive measures, such as using sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure, to reduce the risk of new lesions forming.

Maintaining a healthy skincare routine further enhances skin appearance and health, contributing to lasting results. By adhering to the recommended follow-up schedule and care guidelines, you can enjoy smooth, clear skin and minimize the chances of future skin issues.
