Cryotherapy Montreal

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal that uses controlled freezing to target and remove certain superficial skin lesions. By applying liquid nitrogen or a cryoprobe precisely to the area, it destroys the targeted cells while limiting impact on the surrounding skin and supporting natural healing.

Cryotherapy is most often considered by patients who would like to treat superficial concerns such as sun spots (solar lentigines) and certain benign moles or skin irregularities. Because some lesions need to be evaluated before treatment, a physician will first confirm that cryotherapy is appropriate for your concern. It is quick, well tolerated and involves minimal downtime.

Because every patient’s skin and concern are different, cryotherapy at our Dermapure clinics in Montreal 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 a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

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.

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.
