Cryotherapy is a procedure to treat abnormal or unhealthy skin with the help of low heat. It is also known as ice treatment or freezing technique. It was used by the Egyptians 2500 years ago to treat various wounds. It is also a method preferred by Hippocrates for inflammation and pain.

It is a technique in which a certain area or the whole of the body is exposed to extreme cold for a while, thereby treating damaged tissues. This technique was first preferred in Japan and used liquid nitrogen, which was cooled to -60 to -240 Celsius during application. This application, also known as freezing technique in our country, is preferred in the treatment of skin problems such as moles, skin spots, warts, acne scars. It is a painless and painless method. Cervical erosion, that is, cervical wounds, are also used.

his procedure is performed to cause controlled tissue damage in the diseased skin area and to destroy the cells in the area. Most often liquid nitrogen is used. By reducing the skin to a temperature between -20 and -50 degrees, tissue loss is achieved. Thus, over time, there is a healthier and new skin. It is applied in the treatment of various problems such as repair of damaged tissues, elimination of skin wounds, benign cell growths. The demand for this treatment technique is quite high due to the fact that it is painless, painless and highly effective. Conditions that benefit from this treatment are:

Apart from these, there are also different issues in which cryotherapy is applied. It is especially applied in various cosmetic and dermatological problems such as genital warts, childhood warts, sun spots, age moles. As a side effect, color lightening may occur in the relevant area, but no problems occur in light-skinned individuals.

Since cryoreoi is a form of treatment, it can be used alone or in combination with a different application. This treatment can usually be done within twenty minutes and without the need for anesthesia. We can say that it is an extremely comfortable application for the individual. The person can return to normal life in a short time after treatment.

The liquid nitrogen component used for the process is stored in special tanks. When it needs to be used, it is applied to the skin with spray or close contact with special apparatus and tips. The physician decides on the application style according to the size, type, area of location, molichen or benign condition of the skin problem. Physician control is absolutely necessary before the application.

After the application, it is normal to have discharge in the area where the procedure is performed for a few weeks. This discharge occurs due to dead cells damaged during application. Especially if this procedure is performed in the treatment of cervical wounds, it is likely that the relevant area is very open to infection. Therefore, sexual intercourse should not be performed for a while. This period is on average up to three or four weeks. It is important to be careful not to use tampons after cervical wounds and not to prefer places where there is a risk of infection, such as jacuzzis and pools.
