Cryotherapy is a longstanding treatment method among dermatological treatments and can be successfully used in the treatment of many skin diseases. Cryotherapy translates to cold treatment. Regardless of gender, cryotherapy can be applied at any age. Before undergoing cryotherapy, the patient should undergo a detailed examination, and the stages of the application should undoubtedly be planned by a specialist dermatologist. During cryotherapy, due to extreme cold, there can be slight burning, swelling, and fluid accumulation. This side effect usually disappears on its own within 1-2 days. However, the patient is monitored until full recovery is observed. If necessary, cryotherapy can be repeated every 15 days, or the treatment can be planned as 4-5 sessions.
Today, the most common skin diseases treated with cryotherapy include warts (verrucae), corns, actinic keratosis, some benign skin tumors, and skin tags. Cryotherapy can be applied to almost anyone, regardless of gender. Cryotherapy treatment is a procedure applied in sessions with a 15-day interval. Your dermatologist will decide how many sessions your treatment will last. On average, successful results can be achieved in the treatment of many skin diseases with 3-4 sessions of cryotherapy.
