Cryotherapy at Crighton Pharmacy
Cryotherapy uses extreme cold to treat common skin lesions. We apply a fine jet of cold nitrous oxide with a precise cryospray pen, which freezes the treated area so it can’t survive. It’s quick, rarely needs an anaesthetic and almost never leaves a scar.

Your pharmacist will look at the area first to make sure cryotherapy is right for you.
