Skin Tag & Verruca Removal

Quick, controlled freezing to remove skin tags, verrucas, warts and age spots. From £25.

How does cryotherapy removal work?

Cryotherapy uses controlled freezing to remove common benign skin lesions such as skin tags, verrucas, warts and age spots. The extreme cold destroys the tissue, which then dries and falls away naturally over the following days as the skin underneath heals.

It is quick, minimally invasive and needs very little recovery. Most lesions are treated in a matter of seconds. Verrucas and larger warts are more stubborn than skin tags and often need a second session, which we will tell you at the time rather than after you have paid.

Heals in 1 to 2 weeks

A small scab forms and falls away on its own.

What to expect on the day

We examine the lesion first to confirm it is suitable for treatment. The freezing device is then applied directly for a few seconds. You will feel an intense cold, followed by brief stinging as the area thaws.

The area may blister, then form a small scab which falls away over one to two weeks. Do not pick it. Keep the area clean and dry, and use sun protection on healing skin to reduce the chance of a pigmentation mark.

Questions, answered honestly

There is an intense cold sensation followed by brief stinging as the area thaws. It is over in seconds and most clients find it very manageable.

Most skin tags clear after one treatment. Verrucas and larger warts are more stubborn and frequently need two or three sessions a few weeks apart.

Usually it heals cleanly. There is a small chance of a lighter or darker mark where the lesion was, particularly on deeper skin tones, which we will discuss before treating.

The area may blister, then scab, then fall away over one to two weeks. Keep it clean and dry, and leave the scab alone.

No. We do not treat moles, or any lesion that is changing, bleeding, itching, or that we cannot confidently identify as benign. Those need assessment by your GP or a dermatologist first.

From £25, depending on the number and size of lesions treated. We confirm the price after examining you and before starting.
