Cryotherapy is becoming increasingly popular in aesthetic care, as it effectively eliminates skin lesions while promoting clear, regenerated skin. Practiced for several decades, this technique relies on the use of extreme cold, notably liquid nitrogen, to freeze abnormal cells without affecting healthy tissue. Fast, safe and minimally invasive, cryotherapy is particularly recommended for treating warts, acrochordons, keratoses and other benign imperfections. The cost of cryotherapy treatment varies according to the nature and number of lesions to be treated.
Over time, the skin can develop benign lesions due to a variety of factors: friction, viruses, cutaneous aging or cellular imbalances. Although not dangerous, these imperfections can alter the skin's appearance, cause discomfort or undermine self-confidence.
Cryotherapy is a targeted medical-aesthetic technique that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal cells without damaging healthy tissue. It is particularly indicated for people wishing to get rid of certain superficial lesions quickly and without surgery.
Plantar warts (often painful on the soles of the feet)
Vulgar warts (on hands, fingers, knees)
Small, soft skin growths, often located on the neck, under the arms or on the eyelids.
Thickened, pigmented lesions that appear with age
Common viral lesions in children, contagious but benign
At Clinique Main d'Or, every treatment begins with a personalized assessment. A specialized nurse analyzes your skin to determine whether cryotherapy is the best solution. If necessary, we'll refer you to a specialist.

Cryotherapy is generally well tolerated by most patients. The treatment is based on the targeted application of liquid nitrogen, which causes a sensation of intense cold on the skin. Some people compare this sensation to a temporary sting or burn, but it disappears quickly after application. In most cases, the treatment does not require anesthesia. After the session, you may feel a slight tingling, numbness or redness, similar to a mild cold burn. These effects are temporary. At Clinique Main d'Or, we ensure that every treatment is gentle and comfortable.
Cryotherapy is a highly effective technique, and in many cases a single session is enough to eliminate the targeted lesion. However, this depends on the type, size and depth of the skin lesion. Smaller warts, acrochordons or keratoses can disappear quickly, while more persistent lesions, such as plantar warts, may require one or two additional sessions. Clinique Main d'Or offers personalized follow-up to assess the skin's response to treatment. During your consultation, our team will tell you exactly how many sessions you need, depending on your situation.
After a cryotherapy session, we recommend leaving the treated area to heal naturally, without scratching or rubbing. The treated lesion will dry, form a crust and then fall off on its own in 7 to 14 days. We recommend keeping the area clean, avoiding prolonged bathing, swimming and direct exposure to the sun for a few days. A soothing cream can be applied if required, but it is essential to follow the recommendations given by the specialized nurse. At Clinique Main d'Or, we provide all post-treatment instructions to promote rapid, scar-free healing, ensuring optimal aesthetic results.
Cryotherapy is for anyone wishing to get rid of benign skin lesions non-invasively. It is suitable for most adults and children, notably for the treatment of warts, molluscum contagiosum or acrochordon. However, there are certain contraindications. People with severe circulatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivity to cold or certain active skin infections may not be good candidates. A preliminary assessment is always carried out at Clinique Main d'Or to verify eligibility for treatment. If in doubt, we can refer you to a dermatologist or other specialist.
