What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy uses extreme cold (usually liquid nitrogen) to remove unwanted skin lesions like warts and verrucas. It works by freezing and destroying the affected skin cells, allowing healthy skin to regrow.
At Beacon, we use cryotherapy to treat:
  • Warts often appear on the hands, fingers, or knees. They may look rough and raised.
  • Verrucas are a type of wart found on the soles of the feet. They tend to be flat, with a hard edge and black dots in the centre. Walking can make them sore.
Both warts and verrucas are small, rough lumps caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They’re non-cancerous, usually harmless, and often go away on their own. But they can also be persistent and sometimes painful, especially on the feet.
Warts and verrucas are contagious and can spread through skin contact or shared surfaces like showers and swimming pools.

Why Might You Choose Treatment?

You may decide to have warts or verrucas treated if they:
  • Cause discomfort or pain, especially on the feet
  • Affect your confidence or appearance
  • Aren’t improving on their own, even after months
  • Are numerous or persistent despite home remedies
Unlike the NHS assessment, where non-urgent cases may not qualify for removal, our private cryotherapy service gives you direct and fast access to treatment.

What to Expect from Your Treatment

  • We apply liquid nitrogen using a cryogun or cotton-tipped applicator, targeting the wart or verruca precisely.
  • The process is quick and usually completed in one visit.
  • You may feel numbness, a brief, sharp sensation, then possible blistering, which can last up to 3 days.
  • Healing generally takes 7–14 days with minimal chance of scarring. 
Please note: multiple sessions may be needed for stubborn or large lesions, and recurrence is possible in some cases.

You may feel a sharp sting during freezing, followed by numbness. Mild discomfort may last up to three days, but it’s typically well tolerated.
Most people heal within 7–14 days. Blisters fall away, and the skin regenerates naturally.
Sometimes. You may need multiple sessions for stubborn warts or verrucas. We’ll discuss this during your appointment.
Cryotherapy generally doesn’t cause scarring, especially when carried out by experienced professionals. A small scab may form, but usually heals cleanly.
Warts and verrucas can sometimes come back. If they do, you can return for follow-up cryotherapy.
No. You can book directly with Beacon without seeing your GP first.
Yes. Most people go straight back to work or daily activities. You may need to keep the area clean and avoid tight shoes if the lesion is on your foot.
Yes, but we’ll assess each case individually. We treat patients aged 18 and over, and can discuss suitable next steps for children with persistent warts or verrucas.
