Cryotherapy is a great method for removing warts, where removal is done using liquid nitrogen at minus temperatures. This method allows the wart and the virus to freeze, which causes it to fall within 1 week.
Warts are small lesions on the skin that are caused by an HPV virus - Human Papilloma Virus, which are contagious and can be transmitted directly from person to person or indirectly through community use of swimming pools or sharing towels, for example.
How the Treatment is Done
The treatment of wart removal must be done by a dermatologist, who will apply liquid nitrogen to the wart to be removed, which is at a temperature of almost 200ยบ negative. The application of the product does not hurt, as low temperatures allow pain control.
This application is made in spray, and allows the freezing of the wart and the virus, which causes it to end up falling within 1 week. Generally, for small warts, 1 treatment session is necessary and for larger warts, 3 to 4 sessions may be necessary. 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 liquid nitrogen freezes not only the wart but also the causative virus. Thus, the problem is eliminated from the root and the wart is not born again, because the virus is no longer active in that place, and there is no danger of spreading the virus to other places on the skin.
Some cryotherapy treatments are already sold in pharmacies, as is the case with Wartner or Dr. Scholl STOP warts, which can be used at home following the specific instructions for each product.
In addition to cryotherapy, there are other methods for removing warts that include the process of cutting the wart or burning, using laser surgery or chemicals such as cantharidine or salicylic acid.
