Cryotherapy Beechwood Village

Cryotherapy is a medical procedure performed in clinic to treat certain superficial skin lesions. The technique applies controlled cold, usually liquid nitrogen, directly to the lesion to freeze the targeted tissue, which the body then gradually eliminates as the skin heals.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's skin and lesion type are different, cryotherapy at our Beechwood Village 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 the lesion and discuss the procedure, the expected healing process 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.
