Cryotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal tissue. It is commonly used to remove skin growths, warts, and other benign lesions in pets without the need for traditional surgery.
During cryotherapy, liquid nitrogen or nitrous oxide is applied to the affected area, freezing and destroying the abnormal cells. The treated tissue then falls off naturally over the following days to weeks, leaving healthy skin behind.
Often performed without general anaesthesia
Treatment takes only minutes
Well tolerated by most pets
No stitches required
Less expensive than surgical removal
Your vet will assess the lesion to determine if cryotherapy is appropriate. The procedure is quick and most pets experience only mild discomfort. The treated area may appear red or swollen initially, and a scab will form before the tissue falls off naturally.
