Cryotherapy Procedure for Skin Tag Removal

  1. Consultation:
    • Assessment: Our nurse will examine the skin tag to determine if cryotherapy is the appropriate method for removal.
    • Medical History: You may be asked about your medical history, including any skin conditions or allergies.
  2. Cryotherapy Procedure:
    • Application: Our nurse will apply liquid nitrogen to the skin tag using a cryotherapy device.
    • Freezing: The liquid nitrogen will freeze the skin tag, causing it to turn white and harden. This usually takes a few seconds.
    • Multiple Applications: For larger skin tags, the process may be repeated several times in one session to ensure complete freezing or over a number of sessions.
  3. Post-Procedure Care:
    • Healing: The treated area will form a blister or scab, which will eventually fall off within a week or two.
    • Care Instructions: Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid picking at the scab to prevent scarring and infection.
    • Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used if there is any discomfort after the procedure.
