What is it?
Cryotherapy is a treatment using cold: very cold liquid nitrogen is applied to a skin lesion, such as a wart, to destroy it. New skin then forms underneath.

The session is quick and can sting or burn for a moment. Redness, swelling or a blister may appear afterwards, and several sessions are often needed.
