Cryodestruction

This method consists in cauterizing the new formations with liquid nitrogen. The procedure is painless and uncomplicated, does not cause scarring and the risk of re-infection. Deep freezing allows you to work on the affected tissue, causing their death. Moxibustion is carried out with a spray or wooden applicator with a cotton swab that treats the damaged segments of the skin, keeping it on the affected area for about thirty seconds, resulting in the wart becoming pale and compacted. Destruction of warts with liquid nitrogen is a widely used method. Liquid nitrogen under the influence of temperature minus 196 degrees destroys epithelial cells. With mild frost, there is hyperemia of the affected area, which increases the local immunity. With aggressive freezing, a bubble forms beneath the skin, which is removed together with the wart. The interval between repeated procedures is usually one to two weeks.
