Cryotherapy Toronto

Cryotherapy is a precise non-invasive treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Toronto, which uses controlled freezing to target benign skin lesions. Liquid nitrogen or a cryoprobe is applied directly to each lesion for a few seconds, breaking down the targeted cells while preserving the surrounding skin.

Cryotherapy is most often considered by patients who would like to address sunspots, benign moles, skin tags, actinic keratoses or other superficial skin lesions on the face, neck, chest, hands or other areas with visible sun damage. A single session is often sufficient for superficial lesions, while deeper or more persistent spots may require additional treatments. After the procedure, mild redness, swelling and a temporary darkening of the treated area are common and typically resolve within one to two weeks.

Because every patient's skin and lesions are different, cryotherapy at our Dermapure clinics in Toronto always begins with a personalized skin assessment. Together with your specialist, you will determine whether cryotherapy is the most appropriate option for the lesions to be treated and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.
