Verve Medical Aesthetics, we utilise the innovative cryotherapy technique to safely and effectively treat skin tags. Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses extreme cold to destroy unwanted cells. This method is highly precise, allowing us to target only the skin tag without damaging the surrounding skin. Multiple skin tags and other skin lesions can be treated in one visit.

Cryotherapy literally means treatment using low temperatures. The common agent used by doctors, including ours, is liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is extremely cold, and when applied with a spray gun, it freezes the cells within the skin tag, causing them to rupture and destroy the cell. This process is quick, usually lasting only a matter of seconds.

Cryotherapy treatment is a quick, pain-free procedure typically completed within a routine appointment. A blister will form within 24 hours of treatment, naturally resolving over the following days, leaving a smoother, tag-free skin surface.

After the treatment, it's normal for a blister to form within 24 hours. If it pops, clean it and apply a plaster. We recommend applying an antiseptic cream twice daily.
