Wart Cryotherapy

Wart cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy genital warts caused by the human papillomavirus, a common and highly effective in-office treatment for this condition. The extreme cold causes the wart tissue to blister and eventually slough off over the following days to weeks, allowing healthy skin to regenerate underneath. Multiple treatment sessions are often needed, spaced a few weeks apart, to fully clear larger or more numerous warts. While cryotherapy removes visible warts effectively, it does not eliminate the underlying viral infection, so recurrence can occur.
