Cryotherapy
After Care Instructions
Below are easy to follow after care instructions for a cryotherapy treatment. Please call us if anything seems out of the ordinary.
After Cryotherapy Treatment
- After cryotherapy, it is normal for the area to sting and/or itch for several hours.
- You may experience blistering, which is normal. If the blister becomes bothersome, you may sterilize a needle over an open flame and puncture the blister to drain the fluid. Do not pick off the top of the blister.
- The treated area will crust and scab over the next several days. Cleanse the area with mild soap and water. Do not scrub.
- You may use Vaseline or Aquaphor on the crusted area, which will protect the skin and promote healing.
- The crust typically comes off over 1-2 weeks, and the skin will continue to smooth out over 2-3 weeks. Residual redness or color change is common and may take up to 4-6 weeks for the skin to return to its normal appearance.
