Cryotherapy Treatment in Leicester

Revitalise Your Skin with Cryotherapy at The Health Suite Leicester – Where Healing Meets Innovation!

Cryotherapy Treatment is offered at The Health Suite in Leicester, focusing on dermatological and aesthetic applications. This procedure involves exposing the skin to extremely cold temperatures to promote healing and rejuvenation. The Health Suite Leicester provides cryotherapy as part of its comprehensive dermatology services, which also include general dermatology, mole removal, and skin consultations. Additionally, cryotherapy is available within their aesthetics offerings, alongside treatments like dermaplaning, mesotherapy, and various facials. By incorporating cryotherapy into the services, The Health Suite aims to enhance skin health and appearance through advanced, non-invasive therapies.

Cryotherapy is commonly used for the treatment of skin conditions including viral warts and skin tags. It involves the use of liquid nitrogen which is sprayed directly onto the lesion causing localised damage and irritation. The individual’s immune system then activates the healing and resolution of the underlying skin lesion. Usually, a course of several treatments with cryotherapy is required to help resolve warts or verrucas. In some resistant cases where the warts are not settling, other treatment options may be offered to you with our PodiatristDermatologist or Plastic Surgeon.

You may experience some initial discomfort, skin blistering, and redness in the area, determined by the size and number of lesions treated. This may be present for 1-4 days for feet and usually 1-2 days for hands. Usually, you can return to daily activities straight after treatment. There may be more discomfort if a wart is treated over a weight-bearing area of the foot. Cryotherapy provides many benefits, such as lessening inflammation, speeding up muscle healing, and improving blood flow. It can help with long-term pain, support healing from injuries, and increase energy by triggering the release of endorphins. Cryotherapy also has cosmetic benefits, like making the skin tighter, reducing cellulite, and enhancing overall skin tone and texture. By energising the body at a cellular level, cryotherapy boosts overall well-being, making it a great option for those looking to improve their physical and mental health.

An initial consultation will be carried out with either a GP or podiatrist to guide the cryotherapy management. After this, your treatment can begin.

Cryotherapy is a procedure that uses extreme cold to freeze and remove abnormal or damaged skin tissue. It's commonly used to treat warts, skin tags, sunspots, and some precancerous skin lesions.

Cryotherapy involves applying liquid nitrogen to the targeted area of the skin. The intense cold causes the abnormal cells to freeze and die. The treated area then forms a blister and eventually heals, often leaving new, healthy skin.

Cryotherapy is effective for treating various skin conditions, including warts, moles, skin tags, actinic keratosis (precancerous skin lesions), sunspots, and some small skin cancers.

Cryotherapy can cause a sensation of intense cold, followed by a stinging or burning feeling as the skin freezes. Some people may experience mild discomfort or pain, but it usually subsides quickly.

A typical cryotherapy session for skin treatment takes only a few minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. The actual freezing time is usually less than a minute.

After cryotherapy, the treated area may appear red and swollen, and a blister may form. Over the next few days, the blister will dry out, scab over, and eventually fall off, revealing new skin underneath.

Common side effects include redness, swelling, blistering, and temporary skin discoloration. In rare cases, scarring or infection may occur. It's important to follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize risks.

The number of treatments depends on the condition being treated and its severity. Some conditions, like warts, may require multiple sessions, while others may be resolved with just one treatment.

Yes, cryotherapy is sometimes used for cosmetic purposes, such as removing skin tags, sunspots, and certain types of moles. It can help improve the skin's appearance by removing unwanted blemishes.

Cryotherapy is generally safe for most skin types, but it may not be suitable for very dark skin, as it can cause hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin). It’s important to consult with a dermatologist to determine if cryotherapy is appropriate for your skin type and condition.
