Cryosurgery for Skin Lesions

Cryosurgery uses extreme cold to remove skin lesions such as viral warts and molluscum contagiosum, performed by a surgeon. The lesion is frozen so that the treated tissue is destroyed and falls away as the skin heals. It is a quick, in-office procedure; the price starts from 100 zł, with the exact cost depending on the type and number of lesions.

Cryosurgery (cryotherapy) treats skin lesions by applying intense cold to freeze the targeted tissue. The freeze-and-thaw effect destroys the treated cells so that, over the following days, the lesion crusts and gradually separates as healthy skin regenerates beneath. At EsteticaMed the procedure is carried out by a specialist surgeon and is used for common benign lesions including viral warts, molluscum contagiosum and certain basal cell skin changes, with the doctor first confirming that cryotherapy is the appropriate method. The treatment itself is quick — often only a short application per lesion — and most people feel a brief stinging or burning sensation during freezing and for a little while afterwards. A blister or crust commonly forms over the treated spot and then heals over one to several weeks depending on the lesion; aftercare guidance is provided to support healing and reduce the chance of marking. Some lesions, particularly stubborn warts, may need more than one session. Pricing starts from 100 zł and depends on the type, size and number of lesions treated. Because the practice is physician-led, lesions that are better suited to surgical excision or laser are identified and directed to the appropriate pathway, and anything with concerning features is evaluated further. Suitability and any contraindications are confirmed by the doctor beforehand.
