Cryotherapy for skin lesions in Leith
Cryotherapy freezes away small, harmless skin growths in a few seconds. Our pharmacist uses a pen-like device that releases a fine jet of very cold nitrous oxide onto the spot. Most treatments take only a few minutes, and you can usually go straight back to your day.

Every treatment starts with a close look at the area, so the pharmacist can be sure it is safe to freeze.
