Cryotherapy is a great method to take warts, where removal is done through the use of liquid nitrogen at negative temperatures. This method allows freezing of the wart and the virus, which causes it to end in a space of 1 week.
Warts are small skin lesions that are caused by a HPV - Human Papilloma Virus, which are contagious and can be transmitted directly from person to person or indirectly through community use of swimming pools or towel sharing, for example.
How Treatment Is Done
The treatment of removal of warts should be done by the dermatologist, who will do the application of liquid nitrogen on the wart to remove, which is at a temperature of almost 200º negative. Application of the product does not hurt, as low temperatures allow for pain control.
This application is made in spray, and allows the freezing of the wart and the virus, which causes it to end in a space of 1 week. Generally, for small warts 1 treatment session is required and for larger warts it may take 3 to 4 sessions. With this treatment, after the wart falls and the skin heals the skin is smooth and without scars.
Is the treatment effective?
This treatment is effective because the liquid nitrogen allows the freezing not only of the wart but also of the causative virus. So the problem is eliminated from the root and the wart is not born again, because the virus is no longer active in that place, and there is no danger of spreading the virus to other sites of the skin.
Some Cryotherapy treatments are already sold in pharmacies, as is the case with Wartner products or Dr. Scholl STOP warts, which can be used at home following the specific instructions of each product.
In addition to cryotherapy there are other methods to get warts that include the process of cutting the wart or burn, using laser surgery or chemicals such as cantharidin or salicylic acid.
