Cryotherapy Calgary

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled freezing to target and remove unwanted skin lesions, including sun damage, benign moles, precancerous lesions and skin tags. Applied to the affected area for only a few seconds per lesion, the treatment causes the targeted cells to break down naturally, allowing the skin to regenerate over the following weeks.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's skin, concerns and medical history are different, cryotherapy at our Dermapure Wildwood clinic always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether cryotherapy is the most appropriate option for your skin and your concerns and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects. Book your personalized consultation with our team.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

During your consultation, our experts will evaluate your skin concerns to determine if cryotherapy is the right treatment for you.

Step 2

Take Pictures

Photographs will be taken before the procedure to document the starting condition and track your progress over time.

Step 3

Proceed with Treatment

Cryotherapy involves applying liquid nitrogen or a controlled freezing device to the affected area. The treatment takes only a few seconds per lesion, with a slight tingling or stinging sensation.

Step 4

Return to Normal Activities

Mild redness, swelling, or darkening of the treated area is common and typically resolves within one to two weeks as the skin heals and regenerates.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Depending on the depth of the lesion, multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results. Your provider will guide you on the best treatment plan based on your skin’s response.
