Cryotherapy Edmonton Downtown

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses controlled freezing, typically through liquid nitrogen or a cryoprobe applied directly to the area, to remove unwanted superficial skin lesions. It is used to address concerns such as sunspots, benign moles, actinic keratosis, skin tags and certain superficial vascular lesions on the face, neck and chest.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's skin, lesions, goals and medical history are different, cryotherapy at our Downtown Edmonton clinic always begins with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether cryotherapy is the most appropriate option for you and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects, which will be reviewed in detail during your consultation.

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.

Contraindications

Cryotherapy is not recommended for individuals who:

have open wounds or active skin infections in the treatment area;
have history of poor wound healing or keloid scarring;
are pregnant or breastfeeding;
