Welcome back to our weekly Laserase blog post. Today, we will be exploring more about cryosurgery. Before diving into the core subject with a few fun facts, let’s see what we’re talking about.

What Is Cryosurgery?

Cryosurgery is a treatment that uses freezing air to remove warts, skin tags and much more. Thanks to liquid nitrogen or other cryogens, it freezes the targeted area which is consequently removed. It isn’t invasive either and it works very well. In fact, it only removes the unwanted tissue while leaving the healthy skin around it untouched.

Now that you know the main things about cryosurgery, let’s discover some fun facts.

1. Temperature Of The Treatment

To be able to freeze the unwanted tissue, the machine has to reach a certain temperature to be effective. According to Science Direct, the cryogenic temperature on average goes from -150°C to absolute zero. Because of this temperature, the treatment itself is capable of freezing the lesion which then naturally falls off within ten days.

2. Very Precise

It is a very accurate treatment as no damage to external tissue is caused while undergoing the treatment. The shape of the head of the machine also helps to target precise areas. It is like a thick pencil which then allows us to perform the treatment to the best of our abilities.

3. Treats More Than One Issue

If you would like to remove a skin tag, a wart or a mole (as you can see below), cryosurgery might be the treatment for you. If you’re not convinced that it is what you want, you can also book a free consultation with us here so we can make sure to find the best solution tailored to your wishes. The variety of issues it can treat is then what makes it more versatile and excellent for more clients.
