What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a vital treatment for tumors and cancerous tissues present on the surface of the skin. Moreover, it can also play a crucial role in removing the cells that exist inside the body.
Cryotherapy or Cryosurgery in Dubai involves using liquid nitrogen at a temperature of about -320 and -346 F (-110°C – -180°C). The nitrogen gas at an extremely low temperature can freeze anything in contact. As in the case of human tissues, it can damage the cells while in contact with them. So, this treatment utilizes extreme cold to kill abnormal tissues in the body, such as cancer. Besides nitrogen, carbon dioxide and argon can also be used.
Procedure
Different types of Cryotherapies are available for the outside and inside of the body.
In external Cryotherapy, the therapist sprays the cold nitrogen on the targeted areas of the skin, killing the precancerous tissues. Following this, a scar will be formed at the skin’s surface, which a bandage can cover.
In the case of tumors inside the body, the doctor injects a cryoprobe into the patient’s body to send a cold through it. At the start, the therapist takes images of the body where the tumors exist. Then, with the help of the cryoprobe, they can accurately target the affected areas.
After the procedure, the cold substance in the body starts to warm out, enabling the body’s natural immune system to clean up the harmful tissues.
Conditions Treated
Cryotherapy in Dubai helps treat several conditions, including:

Post-Procedure Care
After Cryotherapy, patients can return home immediately, but the therapist will give them some aftercare guidelines. These guidelines vary from patient to patient, but some general post-procedure instructions are as follows:
- In the case of internal Cryotherapy, patients may be asked to stay at the clinic overnight.
