Cold therapy for your skin
What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy involves the application of extremely cold temperatures to targeted areas of the body. At Ringland Pharmacy, our treatments utilise controlled freezing techniques to address a variety of skin conditions effectively. From warts to actinic keratosis, our trained professionals employ state-of-the-art cryotherapy technology to deliver safe and precise treatment.
How the treatment works
Fast, Controlled Freezing
Cryotherapy targets unwanted skin tissue with a precisely delivered stream of cooled nitrous oxide. The extreme cold destroys the targeted cells while sparing surrounding healthy skin. A typical appointment includes an initial consultation to assess the lesion, a short treatment session lasting minutes, and clear aftercare guidance. Most patients experience brief discomfort during application and mild redness or blistering afterward which resolves over days. Our clinicians use controlled techniques to minimize scarring and monitor healing, and follow-up is available to ensure a satisfactory cosmetic and clinical result.

Key Benefits
Cryotherapy is a convenient option for removing many benign skin lesions because sessions are brief and typically completed within a single visit. Using cooled nitrous oxide provides consistent temperatures and precise control, which reduces impact on surrounding tissue and lowers scarring risk. Each treatment is preceded by a professional assessment to confirm suitability and to plan the approach. Aftercare advice helps manage healing and reduces complications. If additional treatments are required, clinicians will advise on timing and expected outcomes to achieve the best cosmetic and medical result.
