If a skin concern is bothering you, cryotherapy offers a quick and effective way to treat certain benign lesions (harmless, abnormal skin growths). At Northway Clinic, our experienced clinicians provide careful, targeted care to help improve your skin with minimal disruption to your day.
What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a minor procedure that uses extreme cold to remove unwanted or abnormal skin tissue. A specialised device applies liquid nitrogen to the area, freezing the lesion so it gradually breaks down and falls away.
It’s a quick, targeted approach that’s commonly used for benign (harmless) skin concerns. Most procedures take just a few minutes, and you can usually return to your everyday routine straight after your appointment.
At Northway Clinic, we carefully assess your skin before any dermatological treatment to ensure cryotherapy is suitable for you. We’ll also explain each step clearly so you know what to expect.
What can cryotherapy be used to treat?
Cryotherapy is used to treat a range of common benign skin lesions. It works by freezing the affected tissue without damaging the surrounding skin.
It may be recommended for:
- Warts – small, rough growths caused by a viral infection
- Verrucas – a type of wart that develops on the soles of the feet
- Skin tags – soft, harmless growths that often appear in areas of friction
- Seborrhoeic keratoses – non-cancerous, raised skin growths
Your dermatologist will confirm the type of lesion during your consultation and advise whether cryotherapy is the most appropriate treatment for your skin.
Your private cryotherapy journey with Northway Clinic
Your care starts with a detailed consultation, during which we assess your skin and confirm the type of lesion. This step is important to ensure cryotherapy is suitable for you and that no features need further investigation.
If treatment is appropriate, we can often perform it during the same appointment.
Your clinician will prepare the area and carefully apply liquid nitrogen to the lesion to freeze the tissue. You may feel a brief stinging or cold sensation, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated and takes only a few minutes.
Recovering from cryotherapy
After treatment, the area may become red or form a small blister before forming a scab. This is a normal part of the healing process, and the treated lesion will gradually fall off over the following days or weeks.
We’ll provide clear aftercare advice to help support healing and reduce the risk of irritation. If needed, we can arrange a follow-up to review the area and check how your skin is recovering.

Cryotherapy FAQs
Is cryotherapy painful?
You may feel a brief stinging or cold sensation during treatment, but most people tolerate it well. Any discomfort usually settles quickly once the procedure is complete.
How long does it take to heal after cryotherapy?
The treated area may become red or form a small blister before developing a scab. This will typically heal over the following days or weeks, depending on the size and type of lesion.
How much does cryotherapy cost?
At Northway Clinic, cryotherapy for warts, skin tags, verrucas and other common benign skin lesions is priced at £150 for up to four lesions.
Your exact treatment plan will be confirmed during your consultation, where we’ll assess your skin and explain what’s included, so you have a clear understanding of the cost before proceeding.
Will I need more than one treatment?
Some lesions respond after a single session, while others may need more than one treatment. Your clinician will explain what to expect based on your skin and the type of lesion being treated.
Can the lesion come back after cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy removes the treated lesion, but in some cases, it can return, or new lesions may develop. If this happens, we can reassess your skin and discuss further treatment options.
