What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a medical procedure that uses liquid nitrogen (-196°C) to freeze and destroy abnormal cells. It is commonly used in treatment of skin conditions such as warts, skin tags, and seborrheic keratoses, as well as internal ailments such as cervical ectropion. After this procedure, your body gradually eliminates damaged cells and creates new tissue.
Which illnesses can be effectively treated with cryotherapy?
Gynecological diseases
- Cervical ectropion
- Treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
- Polyps or small tumors of the vagina and cervix
Other diseases
- Certain types of hemorrhoids
- Certain types of skin tumors
- Cherry angioma
Cost of cryotherapy
Cryotherapy price starts at 3,200 Baht
Note: Based on the doctor’s diagnosis, the cost of cryotherapy is based on the size and number of affected areas.
Is cryotherapy painful?
The pain experienced during the cryotherapy procedure depends on the area being treated. It is generally less painful than electrocautery when performed on normal skin areas. Patients may feel a temporary cold and burning sensation, along with possible tightness or numbness in the treated area.
Advantages of cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is one of the most popular medical treatments for skin, gynecology, and other conditions. The advantages of this treatment include:
-
No surgery required, low risk of infection: This procedure reduces the risk of infection more successfully than surgical methods because no skin or tissue incisions are performed.
-
Faster healing and less risk of scarring: Over time, the body produces new skin cells to replace destroyed ones. This procedure typically leaves no scars and only takes one to two weeks to heal, in contrast to many other procedures.
-
Short treatment time, minimal disruption to daily life: The procedure takes only 10-15 minutes per area, making it quick and convenient. Cryotherapy can be performed during lunch break or after work, eliminating the need for a clinic stay and allowing you to return to your normal routine.
-
Less painful: Compared to electrocautery or abrasion, which call for sharp equipment, cryotherapy is less painful, despite the possibility of a brief, severe cold and slight burning sensation.
Side effects of cryotherapy
- Skin redness or swelling usually starts a few hours following cryotherapy and goes away over the course of one to two days.
- Blisters or blood blisters may develop. In certain cases, blisters or blood blisters may develop in the area where cryotherapy is applied. Avoid picking at the blisters or puncturing them yourself. The blisters will eventually dry up and go away in three to seven days.
- Scabs or dark spots may appear. It takes one to two weeks for these scabs to fall out naturally. You don’t have to peel them off. Dark spots can appear in some cases, particularly on those with darker skin tones, but they gradually fade in one to three months.
- Scarring is rare, but if the treatment is done on areas with thick tissue, such as the hands or feet, or if repeated cryotherapy is performed, a dimple or partial scar may develop.
Post-treatment symptoms of cryotherapy
- Burning sensation burning feeling for one to two hours following the operation
- Blisters or scabs (which heal in a week or two)
- If your cervix is affected, you may experience slight vaginal discharge or bleeding.
Post-treatment care
- Avoid picking at the scab to prevent scarring.
- Keep the wound clean by gently washing it with clean water.
- Avoid intense sunlight to prevent darkening.
- If a blister breaks, apply an antiseptic and cover the wound.
