Soaking up some sun on bare skin feels amazing, but those warm rays take their toll, leading to sun damage. The sun radiates UVA, UVB, and infrared energy, all of which cause mutations to our skin’s composition, leading to visible signs of aging, pigmentation, and, in some instances, skin cancers. With a careful eye and the proper precautions, Project Skin MD® Ottawa can help identify and remove pre-cancerous spots with cryotherapy.
Cryotherapy treats actinic keratoses (AKs), or pre-cancerous lesions, by submerging them in liquid nitrogen. This cold or freezing therapy targets the mutated skin cells of AKs, triggering the body to slough them off. Beneath, new, healthy skin cells generate, and you’ve prevented a pre-cancerous lesion from developing into skin cancer down the road. For ongoing skin cancer prevention, we always recommend a strict daily sun protection regimen.
