Cryotherapy
face treatments
How does it work?
Cryotherapy uses extreme cold to cause controlled destruction of unwanted tissue in a precise application method. Freezing tissue to -27 degrees causes Cryonecrosis to remove skin lesions effectively and safely.
Cryotherapy works by causing the water in the skin cells to freeze. As this happens the water expands and then fractures the frozen cell wall causing cell death. This freeze also destroys the structure of the cell, there is no revival and the cells within the skin lesion are removed.
