What is cryotherapy? Cryotherapy is a skin treatment that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal skin cells. As the liquid nitrogen is applied, the skin will start to blister and shed off. Most patients need more than one treatment in order to reach all abnormal cells.
Benign lesions that may be treated by cryotherapy include: Skin tags. Dermatologists can freeze small skin cancers such as superficial basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and in-situ squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on the trunks and limbs, but this is not always successful, so careful follow-up is necessary.
Cryotherapy, also called cryoablation or cryosurgery, is a treatment involving freezing temperatures. This minimally-invasive technique can address various conditions, including precancerous or early basal and squamous cell skin cancers.

Cryotherapy may be a good option for benign lesions, such as actinic keratosis. It also treats thin non-melanoma skin cancer. Cryotherapy is used when there are only a few lesions to treat, and the lesions have clear borders.
Cryosurgery, also known as cryotherapy or cryoablation, commonly uses liquid nitrogen or another extremely cold liquid to destroy abnormal tissue, such as noncancerous, precancerous, and some cancerous skin lesions.
