Introduction to Cryosurgery

Cryosurgery, also known as cryotherapy, is a minimally invasive medical procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. Dr. Tasneem Kharwa, a highly skilled general practitioner in Durban, South Africa, offers cryosurgery as part of her comprehensive range of medical services.

During a cryosurgical procedure, Dr. Kharwa uses specialized instruments to apply extreme cold, typically Nitrous oxide, directly to the targeted tissue. This extreme cold causes the tissue to freeze, disrupting the cellular structure and leading to cell death.

Cryosurgery is commonly used to treat various skin conditions, such as warts, moles, and skin tags. The procedure is typically performed in Dr. Kharwa’s office, and patients can often return to their normal activities shortly after the treatment

What are the benefits of Cryopen

CryoPen therapy offers several significant benefits for patients seeking treatment for benign skin lesions. Here are the key advantages:

Minimally Invasive

CryoPen is a non-invasive treatment that requires no surgical incisions, making it a safer option with less recovery time compared to traditional surgical methods.

Precision Treatment

The CryoPen delivers a high-pressure jet of nitrous oxide with millimeter accuracy, ensuring that only the targeted lesion is treated without affecting the surrounding healthy skin

Quick Procedure

Treatment sessions are typically very short, often lasting less than two minutes, allowing patients to undergo the procedure quickly and efficiently

Painless Experience

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, with no need for anesthesia. The sensation is often described as similar to the pressure of a pen against the skin

Effective for Various Conditions

CryoPen can treat a wide range of benign skin lesions, including warts, skin tags, cherry angiomas, and more, making it a versatile option for dermatological care

Rapid Recovery

Patients can usually return to their normal activities immediately after treatment, and the healing process is generally quick, with most lesions healing within 1 to 4 weeks
