The cryolesia procedure is based on the use of liquid nitrogen, argon or carbon dioxide to quickly freeze the target tissue. The temperature during the procedure reaches up to -40 degrees to -100 degrees. Such extreme conditions cause the formation of ice crystals inside the cells, which leads to their damage and as a result of death.
The main applications of cryolesia
Kriolezia is used to treat:
* Chronic nervous pain (neuralgia)
* Skin lesions, including warts and some skin cancers
* Liver, kidneys and lung tumors
* Changes in the prostate
* Tonsils
* Heart arrhythmia
Advantages of the method
* Little invasiveness of the procedure
* Short recovery time
* Low risk of infection
* Minimal damage to the surrounding tissues
* Possibility of repeated repetition
* In the case of pain treatment – a long -lasting effect with minimal side effects
Potential side effects
Despite the safety of the method, temporary side effects may occur, such as:
* Swelling and redness of the place of surgery
* Temporary pain intensity
* Skin numbness
* Rarely: nerve damage or infection
Who is cryolezia for?
The method is particularly beneficial for patients who do not qualify for more invasive surgery, for people with chronic pain that do not respond to pharmacological treatment, and as an alternative to traditional methods of removing skin lesions.
Before making a decision on cryolesia surgery, it is worth consulting a specialist who will assess whether this method will be appropriate in a specific case.
