Cryotherapy with Liquid Nitrogen Spray : A cold cauterization procedure to treat skin diseases.

Cryotherapy is a medical treatment that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal cells in the skin. It employs liquid nitrogen at approximately -196°C, sprayed onto specific lesions to destroy abnormal tissue by freezing it.

Cryotherapy is commonly used to treat :

• Common warts
• Plantar warts
• Actinic keratoses (can become cancerous, common in Caucasians)
• Seborrheic keratoses
• Molluscum contagiosum
• Some types of superficial skin cysts
• Some types of benign lesions

• No surgery, no stitches.
• Quick and easy, taking only a few minutes.
• Low risk of infection.
• No chemicals or large incisions.
• Patients can wash their face/shower normally.

• The lesions will not fall off immediately; it takes 5-14 days for them to detach.
• Repetition may be necessary if the lesions are thick or deeply embedded.
• Some individuals may develop white patches or uneven skin tone.
• There is a possibility of blisters or hemorrhagic ulcers.

Before the procedure :

• Inform your doctor if you have any underlying medical conditions, are taking anticoagulants, or have a history of keloid scarring.
• No special medication discontinuation or preparation is required.

After the procedure :

• You can wash your face/shower as usual.
• Avoid rubbing the treated area vigorously.
• Do not puncture blisters yourself.

• Gently clean the area 1-2 times daily.
• If blisters form, do not puncture them; allow them to dry on their own.
• If there is an open wound, cover it with a sterile bandage.
• Apply an antiseptic cream or ointment as recommended by your doctor.
• Avoid direct sunlight until your skin has recovered.

• The doctor will spray liquid nitrogen onto the lesion.
• The spraying will be for short periods (5-30 seconds), depending on the size and depth.
• This process may be repeated twice (freeze-thaw-freeze) for thicker lesions.

• Typically, doctors will schedule a follow-up appointment in 1-2 weeks after the procedure.
• If the lesion has not disappeared, a repeat treatment may be considered.
• In some cases, such as deeply embedded warts, 2-3 treatments may be necessary, spaced 2-3 weeks apart.
