Cryotherapy Westmount

Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses controlled cold (liquid nitrogen or a cryoprobe) to target and remove certain superficial skin lesions, such as sunspots, benign moles, actinic keratosis and skin tags. The cold destroys the targeted cells while preserving the surrounding tissue.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's lesion, goals and history are different, cryotherapy at our Dermapure Westmount clinic always begins with a personalized consultation with our team, who will assess the lesion to be treated. Together, you will assess whether cryotherapy is the most appropriate option and discuss the number of sessions, 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.

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;
