Actinic keratosis may seem minor, but if left untreated, they can develop into skin cancer over time.
These rough patches are caused by sun damage and often grow slowly. Early treatment not only improves the appearance of your skin but also reduces your long-term risk.
At Cryosonic, we focus on preventing potential complications by safely removing these lesions before they worsen.
Our trained professionals use the CryoPen, a modern cryotherapy device, to freeze actinic keratosis with precision. The process is fast, usually taking just a few minutes per spot. You may feel a mild tingling or stinging, but discomfort is brief.
After treatment, the treated area forms a small crust or blister that naturally falls off within days, leaving healthy skin behind. All of this is done at your home, ensuring comfort and convenience.
