The Clinic at Christie now offers liquid nitrogen cryotherapy — an effective and safe treatment for wart removal and cosmetic skin lesion treatment in Toronto. This quick, minimally invasive procedure uses controlled freezing to remove unwanted skin growths and improve your skin’s appearance.
What Can Be Treated?
- Common warts (hands, fingers)
- Plantar warts (soles of the feet)
- Flat warts
- Skin tags
- Sun spots / age spots
- Seborrheic keratoses
- Other benign skin growths and lesions
How Cryotherapy Works
Cryotherapy uses ultra-cold liquid nitrogen applied precisely to the target area. The extreme cold destroys unwanted tissue while preserving surrounding healthy skin. The treated lesion then naturally flakes or peels away as new skin forms. Most sessions take only a few minutes and require no incisions or sutures.
Benefits of Liquid Nitrogen Treatment
- Fast, in-office procedure with minimal downtime
- Safe and medically supervised by trained clinicians
- Minimal discomfort during and after treatment
- Improves both medical and cosmetic skin concerns
- Low complication rate compared to surgical excision
What to Expect
- Consultation – Our clinician assesses the lesion(s), reviews your medical history, and confirms suitability for cryotherapy.
- Treatment – The area is cleansed and liquid nitrogen is applied briefly. A quick, cold sensation is normal.
- Aftercare – Redness, blistering, or mild crusting may occur temporarily. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing.
- Follow-up – Some lesions may need a second session depending on size or depth.
