Cryotherapy Longueuil
Cryotherapy offered at our Dermapure clinics in Longueuil uses controlled cold, applied with liquid nitrogen or a cryoprobe, to target and remove certain superficial skin lesions. The intense cold destroys the targeted cells while preserving the surrounding skin.
This treatment is most often considered by patients who would like to treat sun spots (lentigines), certain benign moles or superficial skin irregularities. A physician confirms that the lesion is appropriate for this approach beforehand. Treatment is quick and generally involves little downtime.
Because every patient’s skin and concern are different, cryotherapy at our Dermapure clinics in Longueuil always begins with a personalized medical 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.
