Looking for a quick and effective way to remove unwanted skin lesions? At Mission First Medical in West Plains, MO, we offer a simple solution: cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen. This treatment targets and removes specific skin lesions safely and efficiently, all in a fast, in-office visit.

What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy involves applying liquid nitrogen directly to the skin to freeze and destroy abnormal or unwanted tissue. It’s commonly used to treat:

• Warts
• Skin tags
• Sun spots (actinic keratoses)
• Benign growths like seborrheic keratoses
• Other minor skin irregularities

What to Expect
The process is quick and straightforward. A small amount of liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the lesion, causing it to freeze. Over the following days, the treated area typically scabs over and falls off, allowing new, healthy skin to appear. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.

Why Choose Cryotherapy?

• Non-invasive and fast: Most treatments take just a few minutes
• Effective results: Removes lesions at the source
• Minimal discomfort: Quick application and natural healing
• No downtime: Get back to your day right after treatment
