Cryotherapy
The cryotherapy device destroys the tissue by freezing the fluid inbetween the cells, forming ice shards and crystals which rupture the membrane, thereby destroying the cell. That means there will be no collateral damage to healthy tissue. It’s so incredibly accurate and practical.
Please note: Cryotherapy is a cosmetic procedure which is no longer funded by the NHS. Our partners have decided to continue offering cryotherapy as a free service in the practice however, we are asking all patients who have this procedure done in the practice to make a donation towards the patient donation fund on a voluntary basis in order to fund the costs of the nitric acid canisters.
BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT FOR CRYOTHERAPY YOU WILL NEED TO FILL IN THE CONSENT FORM BELOW AND READ THE INFORMATION LEAFLETS (YOU CAN ALSO ASK FOR A PAPERCOPY FROM RECEPTION) BELOW:
YOU CAN THEN BE BOOKED WITH OUR NURSE JO GRAY OR OUR HCA ANGIE RUNICLES FOR CRYOTHERAPY
