Treatment Description

Cryotherapy (cryosurgery) is a method of removing skin lesions using extremely low temperatures. During the procedure, we use liquid nitrogen (-196 °C), which causes:

  • Formation of ice crystals in cells
  • Tissue damage and destruction
  • Gradual necrosis and sequestration of the lesion

The procedure is fast, minimally invasive, and requires no special preparation.

At Juventini, we thoroughly review every change before a procedure, including advanced skin analysis if necessary, to ensure the correct therapy is chosen.

In case of suspicious changes, we also enable:

  • Additional diagnostics
  • Surgical removal
  • Histopathological analysis

PAncient tako receives comprehensive treatment in one place.

When to choose cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is an ideal choice when it comes to:

  • Surface and clearly defined changes
  • Viral or precancerous lesions
  • Aesthetically unappealing, but harmless formations

It's not always the first choice for deeper or more suspicious changes – in these cases, we recommend other treatment methods.

See how the procedure is done at Juventina Clinic.

Preparation I went to the beach

  • We recommend coming to your appointment in comfortable clothing that can be easily removed and allows for a full body skin examination.
  • Please bring a list of medications you are currently taking, any recent lab results, or other important medical documentation to your appointment.

Procedure steps

  • We are applying liquid nitrogen to the sample.
  • Freezing takes a few seconds.
  • Multiple cycles can be repeated
Touching it, a slight burning sensation appears, which quickly subsides.

Recommendations after surgery

For optimal healing, we recommend:

  • Gentle skin care
  • Do not remove the scab.
  • Sun protection
  • Hygiene of the area under consideration

Recovery

After the procedure, you can expect:

  • Redness and swelling
  • Possible blister formation
  • Feels like a mild sunburn

Healing typically takes 7–14 days, depending on the location and intensity. The injury heals spontaneously.

Possible side effects

  • Temporary sensitivity or pain
  • Blister or crust
  • Rare scar
  • Possible lighter spot (hypopigmentation)
