Cryotherapy Sherbrooke

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled freezing technology to target and remove unwanted skin lesions, including sun damage, benign moles, precancerous lesions, and other superficial irregularities. By applying liquid nitrogen or a cryoprobe directly to the treatment area, the procedure effectively destroys abnormal cells while stimulating the skin’s natural healing process.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 2

Take Pictures

Photographs will be taken before the procedure to document the starting condition and track your progress over time.

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.

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.
