Cryotherapy Vancouver
Cryotherapy is a non-invasive in-clinic treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver. It uses controlled freezing technology to target and remove superficial skin lesions, applying liquid nitrogen or a cryoprobe directly to the area while preserving the surrounding tissue.
Cryotherapy can address sunspots (solar lentigines), benign moles, actinic keratosis, skin tags and selected superficial vascular lesions, on areas of the face and body. The treatment is generally well tolerated, performed in short sessions, and may be received on its own or planned alongside complementary in-clinic options as part of a broader skin assessment.
Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, cryotherapy at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether cryotherapy is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.
