Cryotherapy Edmonton

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton that uses controlled freezing to target unwanted superficial skin lesions. The procedure applies liquid nitrogen or a cryoprobe directly to the lesion, destroying the targeted cells while supporting the skin’s natural renewal process.

Cryotherapy can help address sunspots (solar lentigines), benign moles, actinic keratoses, skin tags and certain superficial vascular lesions on the face, neck, chest, hands and other areas of visible sun damage. Each lesion typically takes only a few seconds to treat, with mild redness or temporary darkening expected as the skin heals over one to two weeks.

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, cryotherapy at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether cryotherapy is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.
