Cryosonic Lesion Removal Treatment Bristol

At Cryosonic, we provide you with both safe and effective treatments for lesion removal in Bristol for individuals who wish to removes skin growths.

Whether you have a mole, skin tag, age spot, or wart, we know how much these small blemishes can impact your confidence.

It’s just matter of fact— we freeze the wart in a technique known as cryotherapy with targeted application of liquid nitrogen. It’s fast, focused, and not particularly painful.

Most treatments require only a few minutes, and there’s no need to make cuts, sew stitches or have to spend significant time recovering.

We see patients of all ages and all skin types and are concerned with making the whole experience as easy and reassuring as we can.

Types of Lesions We Treat

Here at Cryosonic, we treat numerous skin lesions. Many are only of cosmetic concern, while some may be irritating or even painful. These are the most frequent types we see:

Skin tags – small, soft, skin-coloured growths that can be found on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. They’re harmless but can be irritating and stick to clothing.
Warts and verrucas – these occur due to viruses and can appear in most parts of the body, including the hands, feet or fingers. They can spread, and also become painful, if not treated.
Seborrhoeic keratoses – rough, brown or black growths that can resemble scabs or moles. These are not cancer and are quite common as we age.
Milia — small, white cysts that tend to appear around the eyes or on the cheeks. They occur when dead skin cells become trapped underneath the skin.
Cherry angiomas — bright red or purple spots, caused by tiny blood vessels. They are relatively harmless, but are routinely taken out for aesthetic reasons.
Moles (non-cancerous) – if we need to obtain a better biopsy on, say, a competitively edged atypical mole, we will always recommend a GP referral.

How Do We Get Skin Lesions? Causes

Skin lesions can appear for many different reasons. Sometimes, it’s just part of getting older. Other times, it might be linked to friction, sun exposure, or even viruses.

Here are some common causes:

Friction or rubbing – skin tags often develop in areas where clothing or skin rubs together.
HPV virus – this is the main cause of warts and verrucas. It spreads through skin-to-skin contact or from shared surfaces.
Ageing – as we age, growths like seborrhoeic keratoses or cherry angiomas become more common.
Sun exposure – too much sun over the years can lead to pigmented lesions or rough patches.
Trapped skin cells – milia form when dead skin doesn’t shed properly and becomes trapped under the surface.
Hormonal changes – sometimes hormonal shifts can trigger skin changes, especially during pregnancy or ageing.

Most lesions are completely harmless, but it’s always a good idea to get them checked—especially if they change in shape, size, or colour.

The Cryosonic Lesion Removal Treatment Bristol Procedure

Wondering what happens during the actual treatment? Don’t worry—it’s straightforward and often over before you know it.

1. Consultation

We start by taking a close look at the lesion and asking a few questions about your skin and medical history. If anything looks suspicious, we’ll let you know and advise you to see your GP first.

2. Freezing the lesion

Once we confirm it’s safe to treat, we apply a controlled amount of liquid nitrogen directly to the lesion. You may feel a slight sting or cold sensation, but it’s usually very brief.

3. The freeze-thaw cycle

The cold freezes the cells in the lesion, and over the next few days, it begins to dry out, scab, and fall off naturally.

The whole process usually takes just a few minutes. There’s no cutting, bleeding, or stitching involved.

Aftercare and Healing Process

After treatment, the area may appear red, slightly swollen, or develop a small scab. This is completely normal and part of the healing process.

Here’s what to expect and how to take care of it:

Keep the area clean and dry – avoid touching or picking at the lesion as it heals.
Avoid harsh products – don’t use any strong creams or scrubs until the skin fully recovers.
Let the scab fall off naturally – pulling it off too soon can lead to scarring.
Mild discomfort is normal – if needed, you can use a cold compress or paracetamol.

Most people find the area heals within 7 to 14 days, though this can vary depending on the size and type of lesion. If you have any concerns during healing, you can always contact us for advice.
