Advanced Cryotherapy Skin Treatments
Our cryotherapy service provides a quick, safe, and effective treatment for a variety of benign and pre-cancerous skin lesions. Using liquid nitrogen, we treat conditions such as actinic keratoses, seborrhoeic keratoses, warts, molluscum contagiosum, skin tags, and selected low-risk skin cancers, including superficial basal cell carcinoma and Bowen's disease. Your GP will assess each lesion to determine whether cryotherapy is the most appropriate treatment option.
Cryotherapy is one of the most widely used and well-established treatments in skin cancer medicine and dermatology. It is used to treat actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous sun damage), warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, skin tags, molluscum contagiosum, and selected superficial skin cancers. Treatment is performed with a cryogen spray or probe, takes seconds per lesion, and multiple lesions can be treated in a single appointment. Most patients tolerate the procedure very well. A blister may form over the following 24–48 hours, and most lesions resolve within 1–4 weeks. Follow-up review can be arranged to confirm clearance.

Fast, Effective Lesion Treatment — In a Single Visit
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to precisely freeze and destroy unwanted or abnormal skin lesions — a quick, well-tolerated treatment performed in-clinic.
Healing & Review
A blister may form within 24–48 hours and resolves over 1–4 weeks. You receive aftercare instructions and a follow-up review can be arranged to confirm the lesion has cleared.
Treatment
Liquid nitrogen is applied precisely to the lesion via spray or probe. Each application takes seconds. You will feel a brief stinging or burning sensation during the freeze.
Assessment
Your doctor examines the lesion(s) and confirms cryotherapy is the appropriate treatment — ruling out any lesion that requires biopsy or excision for diagnosis first.
