CRYOTHERAPY

Targeted Removal of Skin Imperfections with Precision Cooling

From $99

Cryotherapy is a fast and effective treatment that uses extreme cold to safely remove benign skin lesions. It’s a precise, minimally invasive option for treating lesions such as skin tags, age spots, and warts, with minimal discomfort and downtime.

At Upper Skin Clinic, we use advanced cryotherapy technology to deliver targeted, professional results without damaging the surrounding skin.
Cryotherapy involves the controlled application of extremely cold temperatures to freeze and destroy unwanted skin tissue. Using a fine-tipped applicator, liquid nitrous oxide is applied directly to the lesion, causing the targeted cells to crystallise and break down naturally.

This treatment is quick, highly accurate, and ideal for removing small imperfections without the need for surgery or stitches.

What Does Cryotherapy Treat?

Cryotherapy is suitable for a range of common skin concerns, including:
• Skin tags
• Solar lentigines (sunspots)
• Age spots
• Warts
• Seborrhoeic keratoses
• Cherry angiomas
• Pigmented lesions (as assessed by a professional)

Note: All lesions must be assessed prior to treatment to ensure they are benign.

Is Cryotherapy Right for You?

Cryotherapy is suitable for individuals seeking safe, non-invasive removal of benign skin imperfections. It is not recommended for lesions that have changed in size, colour, or shape, or for clients with very dark skin (due to the risk of pigmentation changes).
A consultation is essential to determine whether cryotherapy is the right choice for you.

How Does Cryotherapy Work?

Cryotherapy uses a pressurised device to spray or apply liquid nitrous oxide directly to the affected area. The cold temperature causes rapid freezing, leading to cell destruction within the targeted tissue.
Over time, the body naturally eliminates the treated cells, and the lesion falls away or fades, leaving smoother, clearer skin.

Benefits Of Cryotherapy:

• Quick and precise treatment
• Non-invasive with minimal downtime
• Effective for a variety of benign skin lesions
• Safe for most skin types
• Minimal scarring when treated correctly
• Affordable and time-efficient

What Results Can I Expect?

Following treatment, the area may form a small scab or blister which will naturally heal within 7–14 days. As the skin repairs, the lesion gradually flakes off or fades, revealing clearer, healthier skin.
Some lesions may require more than one treatment depending on their size and depth.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Many skin imperfections are successfully treated with a single session. However, larger or more stubborn lesions may require a follow-up appointment. Your practitioner will advise you during your consultation.

Why Choose Upper Skin Clinic?

At Upper Skin Clinic, we combine clinical experience with premium technology to deliver safe and effective skin treatments. All lesions are assessed prior to treatment, and cryotherapy is performed only when it is safe and appropriate to do so.
You can trust our team to provide honest advice and professional care, with a focus on your comfort, safety, and desired outcomes.
