Cryotherapy is an effective solution for treating certain skin lesions by applying intense cold in a targeted manner. Using liquid nitrogen, this technique eliminates abnormal cells, such as sun-induced pigmentation spots or precancerous lesions, while stimulating skin renewal. Safe and quick, it helps restore a more even and healthy complexion.
Project Skin MD
Treatment & Technology in Vancouver
Our clinic provides various options for managing actinic keratoses (AKs), also known as pre-cancerous skin lesions. With Cryotherapy, we apply liquid nitrogen to the AKs, effectively freezing these cells. This process prompts the body to shed the damaged skin, allowing new, healthy cells to surface.
By treating AKs early, patients can significantly reduce the risk of these lesions progressing into skin cancer. Additionally, we consistently advocate for a rigorous daily sun protection routine as a continued preventative measure.
Cryotherapy can be used on most areas of the face and body.
