What is "cryosurgery"?
Cryosurgery is a medical procedure that uses extreme cold, typically through the application of liquid nitrogen, to destroy abnormal or unhealthy tissue. It is commonly used to treat skin conditions like warts, skin tags, and certain types of skin cancers by freezing the affected area, which causes the targeted tissue to die and eventually fall off. Cryosurgery is valued for being gentle on the body, often requiring little to no anesthesia and leaving minimal scarring compared to traditional surgical methods.
