MUMS Private GPs Dr Vandna and Dr Sanah have extended roles in dermatology and provide private cryotherapy treatment at our clinic in Solihull.
Cryotherapy may be suitable for the treatment of:
Your clinician will assess the lesion first to make sure that cryotherapy is an appropriate treatment for you.
Assessment and treatment can usually take place during the same appointment.

Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy targeted skin tissue.
At MUMS, our clinicians use a precision cryotherapy device to apply controlled freezing directly to the lesion while limiting exposure to the surrounding healthy skin.
Treatment itself is usually very quick, although the length of the appointment and number of treatments required will depend upon the type, size, location, and number of lesions being treated.
Some lesions, particularly larger or more persistent warts and verrucae, may require more than one cryotherapy treatment to achieve the best result.
Your clinician will explain this to you during your assessment.
Warts, skin tags, verrucae and milia are generally benign, but they can sometimes be uncomfortable, irritating, or unwanted because of their appearance.
Skin tags may catch on clothing or jewellery and become sore or irritated.
Verrucae can be particularly uncomfortable when located on a weight-bearing area of the foot and may cause pain when standing, walking, or exercising.
Warts and verrucae are caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can spread.
You may already have tried over-the-counter treatments without success or have a wart or verruca that keeps returning.
Private cryotherapy provides another treatment option following assessment by an experienced clinician.
Your clinician will first examine the wart, skin tag, verruca or milia and assess whether cryotherapy is suitable.
Where appropriate, the lesion may be examined using a dermatoscope, which allows the clinician to look at the skin in greater detail.
Your clinician will explain:
If cryotherapy is appropriate and you would like to proceed, treatment can usually be performed during the same appointment.
Cryotherapy is generally a quick procedure, but you may experience stinging, burning or discomfort during treatment and for a short period afterwards.
The treated area may become red or swollen and a small blister or scab can sometimes develop. This is part of the normal healing response following cryotherapy.
Your clinician will explain what to expect and how to care for the area after treatment.
Cryotherapy is commonly used to treat suitable benign skin lesions, but as with any procedure there are potential side effects and risks.
These can include:
Changes in skin colour can occasionally be longer lasting, particularly in some skin types.
Your clinician will discuss the relevant risks with you before treatment and obtain your consent before proceeding.
Not every wart, skin tag, verruca or milia is suitable for cryotherapy.
If your clinician feels that another treatment would be more appropriate, they will discuss the alternatives with you.
These may include:
You can find out more about our minor surgical removal service here.
The costs of any alternative procedure will be explained to you before you decide whether to proceed.
If a lesion has features that require further investigation, your clinician may recommend that tissue is sent to the laboratory forhistopathology analysis rather than simply treating the area with cryotherapy.
Histopathology allows removed tissue to be examined microscopically and can help confirm the diagnosis or investigate any features of concern.
Histopathology analysis costs £240.
Results are usually available within 5–7 days.
Your clinician will discuss this with you and obtain your consent before any tissue is sent to the laboratory.
If lesions are located in different areas of the body, they may need to be treated and priced as separate areas. Your clinician will confirm the cost with you before treatment.
If further cryotherapy sessions are required, your clinician will explain this and any additional costs.
