Cryotherapy Quebec
Cryotherapy is a treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City that 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.
Cryotherapy is most often considered by patients who would like to treat sun spots (solar lentigines), certain benign moles or superficial skin irregularities. A physician confirms that the treatment is appropriate before proceeding, and sessions are typically quick with little downtime.
Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, cryotherapy at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City 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.
