Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is where the body is exposed to extremely cold temperature leading to controlled and targeted destruction of diseased tissue. Liquid nitrogen (-196° Celsius) is the cryogens used. The cryogen is directly sprayed onto the Lesion through the cryogun with appropriate sized nozzle. Cryogen is sprayed in the center of the lesion until ice ball forms that completely encompasses the lesion, the spraying is continued and then the lesion is allowed to thaw completely. It is an inexpensive, easy, reproducible, repeatable, simple office procedure.
