SOMA FREEZE | Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a procedure that uses extreme cold (liquid nitrogen) to destroy tissue. It’s often used to treat skin lesions, which are skin growths or patches that don’t look like the skin around them.
The lesions can be:
- Benign (not cancerous)
- Precancerous, such as actinic keratosis. These are scaly patches on your skin that could become cancer in the future.
- Superficial skin cancer (skin cancer that’s on the surface of your skin).
Cryotherapy also aims to save the area around the lesions and to reduce the scarring as much as possible. Liquid nitrogen will be applied only to the area being treated to freeze it.
