Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy at 152 Harley Street uses liquid nitrogen to freeze a selected skin lesion. A dermatologist applies the liquid nitrogen to the lesion, and the extreme cold causes its cells to die so the lesion can be removed. The procedure itself takes a few seconds. It may be considered for sun-damaged skin, certain dark spots, seborrhoeic keratosis, age spots, viral warts, other benign skin growths, and selected small skin cancers such as basal cell carcinomas and Bowen’s disease. Prices start from £150, varying by patient. The area may blister, scab, and fall off within one to two weeks; repeat treatments may be needed.
