Cryosurgery (cryotherapy) is the application of extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. This can help in the treatment of Warts, moles, skin tags, solar keratoses, Morton’s neuroma and small skin cancers Soft tissue conditions such as plantar fasciitis and fibroma can also be treated with cryosurgery.
Cryosurgery works by taking advantage of the destructive force of freezing temperatures on cells. At low temperatures, ice crystals form inside the cells, which can tear them apart.
