- Dermatological assessment of the lesion(s)
- Liquid-nitrogen freezing of the wart or lesion
- Aftercare guidance
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy viral warts, sun-damaged skin (actinic keratosis) and superficial basal-cell lesions.

For sun-damaged skin it serves as prevention against skin cancer. The treatment is priced by the number and size of lesions and may be repeated for stubborn growths.
