Minimal Risk

Cryosurgery is an alternative to traditional surgical procedures in many cases. It carries a faster recovery time and less risk of complications. The procedure is significantly less invasive than a comparable surgery since no incision has to be made into the skin at all. It carries a high success rate, and potential side effects are minimal.

Fast Recoveries

Since cryosurgery is less invasive, recovery timelines are comparable to those of a wound. After being frozen, the area will have some redness and swelling that will develop into a blister.
