What cryotherapy is

Cryotherapy treats warts, verrucas and skin tags by freezing them with a very cold spray. The treated skin blisters and falls away over the following weeks. Some people need more than one session.

Before any treatment

Our pharmacist will look at the area first. Cryotherapy is not right for every skin mark. Anything that has changed, bleeds or looks unusual should be checked by your GP practice instead.

Treatments available now

Many warts and verrucas go away on their own. We can help today with treatments you put on at home, and advice on stopping them spreading.

Frequently asked questions

Does cryotherapy hurt?

You may feel a sharp sting while the area is frozen, and it can be sore for a day or two after.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the size and type. Some go after one session, others need a few. Our pharmacist will advise once the service starts.
