Treatment information

Cryotherapy, or liquid nitrogen, uses the destructive effect of cold to remove pathological skin lesions. It is most often used for seborrhoeic warts (verrucae seborrhoicae), which are sharply defined, slightly raised lesions of various sizes and colours, as well as viral warts caused by HPV infection. The incubation period of viral warts is variable and can range from several weeks to months. Cryodestruction is also suitable for treating actinic keratoses.

What you can expect from the treatment

The effect of cryodestruction depends on the type of lesion and the duration and intensity of the cold application. In most cases, the treated tissue gradually dies and falls off. Some warts may require repeated treatment.

Treatment duration
10-15 minutes
Treatment repetition
individually - usually 1–3 treatments depending on the type of wart and skin reaction
Preparation for treatment
no special preparation
Visible result
gradually – the lesion dies and falls off within 1–2 weeks, with improvement after each treatment

Treatment procedure

1. Preparation

Before the treatment, the doctor assesses the type and nature of the skin lesion. No special preparation is needed.

2. Application

Liquid nitrogen at a temperature of approximately −196 °C is used for the treatment, with the therapeutic temperature acting on the skin reaching approximately −20 to −30 °C. The cold is applied either with a cotton swab or using a Cryopen device. The application itself takes only a few seconds and the client may feel a brief freezing sting.

3. Recovery

After the treatment, redness, swelling and often a blister or bruise appear at the treated site. A scab then forms, which falls off spontaneously within 1 to 2 weeks. Normal daily activities are not restricted.

Who the treatment is suitable for

  • for people with unsightly seborrhoeic or viral warts
  • for clients who want to treat actinic keratoses or other superficial skin lesions
  • for those who prefer quick and conservative dermatological treatment

Who the treatment is not suitable for

  • for people with an acute inflammatory or infectious disease at the treatment site
  • for people with skin healing disorders
  • if a malignant skin tumour is suspected (a dermatological examination is required)

Frequently asked questions
