About Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment, where extreme cold is applied to the body either locally or systemically, for mole, warts and keloid scar removal. This targeted treatment entails the controlled destruction of unwanted skin growths, promoting natural healing, rejuvenation, and wellness, and proving instrumental for many common skin ailments.
The principle behind cryotherapy hinges on the capability of cold to reduce inflammation, numb pain, and stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanisms. It is often hailed as the gold standard for the quick, effective, and minimally discomforting removal of skin lesions in dermatology and aesthetic practices.
