Cryotherapy in Venice, FL

What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is a highly effective dermatologic treatment that uses targeted cold therapy to gently and precisely remove unwanted skin lesions, including age spots, sun damage, warts, and certain precancerous growths.

At REJUVA Dermatology, we use advanced cryotherapy techniques that prioritize your comfort and aesthetic outcome, helping restore smoother, clearer skin with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Many patients choose cryotherapy because they are frustrated with stubborn blemishes or rough patches that creams and over-the-counter products cannot resolve. This treatment provides a safe, proven solution under the care of skilled dermatology professionals.

Who is the Best Candidate for This Treatment?

Cryotherapy is ideal for individuals who want a quick, non-surgical way to address bothersome skin growths or lesions. It is particularly well-suited for patients with sun-damaged skin, age-related spots, or precancerous actinic keratoses. If you are seeking a reliable solution to refresh your skin’s appearance while protecting your long-term skin health, cryotherapy may be right for you.

What is the Downtime?

One of the benefits of cryotherapy is that it requires very little downtime. Most patients are able to return to their regular activities immediately after treatment. Depending on the size and type of lesion, you may notice temporary redness, swelling, or blistering as the treated area naturally heals.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results are long-lasting, as the targeted lesion is typically removed permanently. However, because new spots may develop over time from sun exposure or natural aging, ongoing dermatology care and preventive skin treatments can help maintain optimal results.

Side Effects

Cryotherapy is a safe procedure, but like any treatment, it may cause temporary side effects. These can include mild stinging during treatment, redness, swelling, blistering, or lightening/darkening of the skin in the treated area. These changes generally improve as the skin heals.

When Can I Resume Normal Activities?

You can typically resume most activities right away. Many patients appreciate the convenience of scheduling a cryotherapy session during the day and continuing with normal plans immediately afterward. If the treated area is on a visible part of the skin, give it a few days to heal before any major events fully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cryotherapy hurt?

You may feel a brief stinging, tingling, or intense cold sensation during the procedure, but most patients find it very tolerable. Discomfort usually subsides shortly after treatment, and no anesthesia is typically required.

How long does the cryotherapy take?

Most cryotherapy sessions take only a few minutes, depending on the number, size, and location of the areas being treated. Larger or multiple lesions may take slightly longer.

How should I care for the area after the cryotherapy?

We will provide detailed aftercare instructions, which may include keeping the area clean, avoiding picking at scabs, applying protective ointments, and using sunscreen to prevent pigmentation changes. Gentle washing and avoiding friction or harsh chemicals can also help promote faster healing.

Will I have a scar after the cryotherapy?

Scarring is uncommon, but some patients may experience temporary redness, slight changes in skin color, or mild textural changes at the treatment site.

Can cryotherapy treat wrinkles or fine lines?

Cryotherapy is primarily designed for lesion removal and promoting overall skin health. It is not intended for wrinkle reduction. Other aesthetic treatments, such as dermal fillers or laser therapies, are more appropriate for addressing fine lines and aging concerns.

How many cryotherapies will I need?

Many lesions resolve after a single treatment. However, some lesions may require follow-up sessions for optimal results, especially if they are larger, persistent, or recurring. Your dermatologist will advise an individualized treatment plan.

Is cryotherapy safe for all skin types?

Cryotherapy is generally safe for most patients, but results may also vary based on your skin tone, type, and sensitivity. Our dermatologists will assess your skin and advise the best approach during your consultation to minimize risks and ensure effective results.

Can I wear makeup after the cryotherapy ?

Yes, once the treated area has started healing, makeup can be applied. Avoid covering fresh blisters, scabs, or raw skin to prevent irritation or infection.

How soon will I see the results of cryotherapy ?

The treated lesion usually darkens and falls away within days to a few weeks, revealing clearer skin underneath. Full healing may take a little longer, depending on the size and location of the lesion.

Does insurance cover cryotherapy ?

In some cases, such as treatment for precancerous lesions, insurance may provide coverage. Cosmetic lesion removal is typically not covered.
