Cryotherapy Don Mills

Cryotherapy is a precise treatment that uses controlled freezing with liquid nitrogen to remove unwanted skin lesions such as sunspots, benign moles, skin tags and actinic keratosis. It can be performed on the face, neck, chest or hands.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's skin is different, cryotherapy at our Dermapure Don Mills clinic, in the North York neighbourhood, always begins with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess the lesion, whether cryotherapy is the right option and the possible side effects. Learn more about cryotherapy in Toronto and book your consultation with our team.

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.

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;
