WEST OMAHA CRYOTHERAPY & CRYOSURGERY
Cryotherapy, or cryosurgery, is a method used by dermatologists to treat skin issues like skin tags, early-stage skin cancers, and warts. At our West Omaha clinic, our cryotherapy technique involves applying extreme cold using liquid nitrogen or argon gas to freeze and destroy unwanted tissue. The process triggers the body's natural healing mechanisms, prompting the growth of healthy new skin.
At MOD Dermatology, offering personalized care is our priority. Our dermatologists will discuss all treatment options with you, assessing skin growths carefully and performing biopsies if needed. Cryotherapy is valued for its minimal invasiveness, effectiveness, quick recovery times, and affordability. However, it's not suitable for everyone; some patients may experience temporary side effects such as redness or swelling. For those in West Omaha considering cryotherapy for their skin concerns, consulting with MOD Dermatology's experienced team can provide clarity and confidence in choosing the best course of action for their skin health.
BENEFITS OF CRYOTHERAPY
Cryotherapy uses extreme cold to treat skin issues and has become more widely recognized for its potential benefits. While full-body treatments have sparked safety debates, targeted cryotherapy, such as cryo facials, shows promise. This approach is especially effective for addressing skin growths and warts, among other skin issues. The potential benefits of cryotherapy include:
Reduced inflammation: Using cold treatment can lower swelling in the skin, helping with issues like acne, rosacea, and dry, itchy skin. The cold treatment makes blood vessels smaller, which can decrease puffiness and red spots.
Improved circulation: Being exposed to cold during cryotherapy can also boost blood flow in the skin. This makes the skin look vibrant and healthy while aiding in repair.
Increased collagen production: Cold treatment might help the body produce more collagen, a substance that keeps skin firm and elastic. This could make wrinkles and tiny lines less noticeable.
New confidence: Getting rid of a noticeable wart, small skin tags, or other blemishes on the skin can improve confidence without having to go through serious cosmetic procedures.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CRYOTHERAPY
Cryotherapy is a skin treatment method that uses very cold liquid nitrogen to remove unwanted skin growths. During the procedure, doctors target the specific area and apply the liquid nitrogen with precision, either with a cotton swab or spray device. This focused freezing destroys the unwanted tissue, such as seborrheic keratosis, without harming the nearby healthy skin. This approach ensures the procedure is both effective and safe.
Caring for yourself properly after cryotherapy is crucial for healing. We tailor aftercare guidance to the treatment type and area, emphasizing the importance of keeping the spot clean and dry, plus avoiding sun exposure to prevent irritation. Some individuals might feel slight pain or discomfort post-treatment, but this is generally manageable with over-the-counter pain relief options.
Rare side effects like swelling, redness, or infection can occur. Our team is committed to aiding your recovery, ready to address any issues and monitor your healing process closely. Ensuring your well-being and satisfaction from start to finish is our primary concern, ensuring you receive comprehensive aftercare and support following your cryotherapy treatment.
