Cryosonic lesion removal treatment is a revolutionary dermatological treatment, which utilizes cryotherapy in order to treat multiple skin problems. It is particularly useful for benign lesions such as seborrheic keratoses or viral warts as well as some cancers including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Cryotherapy for skin lesions is a safe and effective option to surgically excise the treated area.
Cryosonic employs a regulated application of ultra-low temperatures, sometimes by the use of argon gas. The process is technically the precise placement of freezing agents on a specific area, and only damage to tissue necessary to kill off undesirable cells. It is especially helpful when determining the depth of the lesion or its location within the skin.
The procedure is usually very well tolerated because it is done as an outpatient and under local anesthesia. Local application with a cotton swab or needlelike applicator of cold substances to treat the affected area has been developed so as to affect only abnormal tissue while sparing adjacent blood vessels or nerves.
Side effects tend to be mild, but a few patients can get swelling, redness, bleeding or blistering at the site. The sore heals with the formation of a scab and petroleum jelly may be suggested to help heal. Although infrequent it, is extremely unlikely to cause any nerve damage or infection, if so antibiotics may be recommended. As long as you properly aftercare, using SPF to protect against UV rays and pigments changes prevent scars.
Cryosonic therapy has shown low recurrence and favorable results, emerging as an attractive treatment modality in dermatology. In a few instances, recurrence is possible; particularly when you’ve got a more aggressive type of skin cancer -such as SCC or BCC. Routine check-ins with your GP or dermatologist mean well-rounded care and the early identification of anything suspect.
Cryosurgery is not limited to the few that are visible. It’s also used on the cancers of, for example, the cervix and prostate with techniques like ultrasound giving internal guidance. For the treatment of both routine skin lesions and challenging conditions, Cryosonic is a versatile and accurate tool.
So if you’re interested in cryosurgery, set up an appointment at your doctor’s office or with a licensed NMC practitioner. In the hands of experienced experts this procedure can greatly improve your quality of life.
