CRYOTHERAPY skin lesion freezing
cryotherapy
mole screening
Cryotherapy is the targeted treatment of specific and individually placed skin concerns rather than large areas.
Cryotherapy treatments uses controlled cold application to skin concerns such as warts, skin tags, sun spots and certain other benign lesions.
This treatment uses nitrous oxide to freeze the lesion, killing the tissue of the rogue cells.
As your healthy skin cells regenerate – normally over a 28 day period – you will notice fresh, new healthy skin in the place of the rogue cells that caused the lesion.

After Cryotherapy treatment, these targeted areas respond over time and heal naturally.
Cryotherapy is not always appropriate for every skin type or condition. This is why a careful assessment is essential before proceeding with any course of treatment.
Please note that treatment will only be offered where clinically suitable, and some conditions or skin types may not be eligible for this treatment.
In your consultation, we will assess the area of concern, discuss your medical history and confirm whether Cryotherapy is appropriate for you.
This approach ensures any treatment is carried out safely and only where clinically suitable.
If you have more than one skin condition, or many lesions that you wish to treat, this will
always be factored into your bespoke plan.
Results depend on the concern being treated.
You may expect gradual resolution or improvement of the area as your skin heals.
Our aim will always be precise and controlled treatment that supports safe skin recovery rather than a broad or cosmetic change.
Your treatment plan and price will be based upon the size and nature of the lesion.
Typically, skin tags only require one treatment, but this depends upon the size.
Lesions such as warts, verrucas or moles may require more than one treatment.
Each session will be priced upon the size of the lesion at the time.
All prices depend upon the treatment area and/ or legion.
Your treatment plans and pricing are confirmed following consultation.
Mole screening is a skin assessment service designed to evaluate moles and skin
lesions that may be new, changing or causing concern.
The aim of mole screening is to support early
identification of lesions that may require further medical attention, providing
reassurance where appropriate and clear next steps when needed.
You might consider mole screening if you’ve noticed changes in the size, shape or
colour of a mole, the appearance of a new lesion, or if you have a personal or family history that increases your awareness of skin health.
We recommend that regular skin checks are an important part of looking after your long-term wellbeing.
