Your cryotherapy treatment is entirely tailored to you, based on the severity of your wart outbreak. Cryotherapy with UltraFreeze involves using liquid nitrogen, which has a temperature as low as -320°F, to freeze and destroy warts.
Depending on your treatment plan, a podiatrist in Clifton, NJ Dr. Petkov may apply the liquid nitrogen directly to your warts, or he may numb your skin, shave away warts, then treat the underlying skin directly. Cryotherapy can cause brief periods of stinging, but as soon as your skin numbs, which takes only a few seconds, you shouldn’t feel a thing.
The entire in-office cryotherapy procedure requires no downtime, so you can go right back to your regular activities. Dr. Petkov can counsel you on how to care for your treated skin at home as it heals.
