Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy Skin Tag Removal
Precise cold, applied by a physician’s hand.
The Treatment
How it works
Cryotherapy is the controlled application of intense cold to a benign skin lesion. The freeze is applied precisely to the growth itself, destroying the treated tissue while the surrounding skin is left alone. Over the following days the lesion darkens, dries and sloughs away as the skin beneath renews itself.
At Serene Rejuvenation, cryotherapy is performed by Dr. Sarai and used chiefly for skin tags, on any body area. Appointments are quick, often a matter of minutes, and because a physician performs the treatment, each growth is examined and confirmed to be benign before it is frozen. Whether cryotherapy suits a particular lesion is confirmed at your consultation.
Whether this one suits you is confirmed at your consultation, after Dr. Sarai has looked at your skin.

FAQ
What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy uses precisely applied, intense cold to treat benign skin growths such as skin tags. The freeze destroys the treated tissue only; the lesion then darkens and sloughs away over the following days as the skin renews.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel a brief cold sting while the freeze is applied, settling quickly once it stops, and each lesion takes only seconds to treat. Everyone’s tolerance is different, and comfort options can be discussed with Dr. Sarai beforehand.
How many sessions will I need?
Many skin tags need only a single visit. Larger or thicker lesions are sometimes retreated after a few weeks once the skin has settled. Dr. Sarai will tell you what to expect for your own lesions at consultation.
What happens afterwards?
The treated spot may redden or blister slightly, then darken and fall away over one to two weeks. Keep the area clean, avoid picking, and protect it from the sun while it heals; simple aftercare guidance is given at your visit.
Who is cryotherapy for?
Adults with benign growths such as skin tags, on any body area. Because Dr. Sarai is a physician, every lesion is examined first; anything that does not look like a simple benign growth is assessed medically rather than treated cosmetically.
