FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CryoIQ® PRO cryotherapy?
CryoIQ® PRO uses a highly controlled jet of extremely cold gas to freeze unwanted tissue. The treatment lowers the temperature of the targeted area to approximately -89°C, causing the cells within the lesion to break down.
Once treated, your body naturally removes the damaged tissue and replaces it with healthy skin over time.
If you are unsure whether your symptoms relate to a verruca, you can find more information about Verrucae (Plantar Warts) and how they are treated.
What conditions can CryoIQ® PRO treat?
CryoIQ® PRO is suitable for a range of common skin concerns affecting the feet, including:
- Verrucae
- Skin tags
- Other benign skin lesions
For verruca treatment, we may also recommend alternatives such as Swift® Microwave Therapy or Verrutop® Treatment, depending on your condition and preferences.
For patients interested in aesthetic skin lesion removal, you may also wish to explore CryoPen® Cryosthetics (Skin Lesion Removal).
How does cryotherapy work?
During treatment, the CryoIQ® PRO device delivers a precise burst of cold gas directly onto the affected area. This rapid freezing process causes the cells within the lesion to crystallise and break down.
This process helps to:
- Destroy unwanted or infected tissue
- Preserve surrounding healthy skin
- Trigger the body’s natural healing response
Over time, the treated area is replaced with new, healthy tissue.
What does treatment feel like?
Treatment is very quick, often taking only a few seconds per application. You may feel a short, sharp cold or stinging sensation during the procedure, but this settles quickly.
There is no need for anaesthetic, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after your appointment.
In some cases, a small blister may form following treatment. This is a normal part of the healing process and usually resolves on its own.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions required will depend on the size, depth, and type of lesion being treated. Some cases respond quickly, while others may require a short course of treatments.
We will advise you on the expected treatment plan after your initial assessment.
Is CryoIQ® PRO safe?
Cryotherapy is widely used and generally considered safe when carried out by a trained clinician. However, it may not be suitable for everyone.
We use caution in patients with:
- Poor circulation
- Diabetes-related complications
- Conditions that affect healing
A full assessment will always be carried out to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
