Procedure time: The application of liquid nitrogen is typically a quick process, with the procedure lasting only a few seconds.The exact duration can vary based on the size and type of lesion being treated, but it is generally a relatively short procedure. The application time for Cryosuccess is also notably short, just up to 12 seconds, based on the type and size of lesion.
Downtime/Recovery time: The liquid nitrogen and cryosuccess offer minimal downtime and quick recovery times after their treatments. With the liquid nitrogen treatment, typically some temporary redness, swelling, or blistering at the site is normal, and may resolve in a few hours to days. Similarly, Cryosuccess may cause mild redness or swelling that quickly disappears after the procedure. The non-invasive nature of both the treatments generally allows the patients to resume their normal activities promptly.
Pain level: Both of the treatments are known for their relatively low pain levels, however liquid nitrogen may cause a brief stinging or burning sensation, but the discomfort is tolerable and short lived. Cryosuccess, with its precise and effective application, is designed to be virtually painless. Both of the treatments contribute to a generally comfortable experience, however individual pain thresholds may vary.
Number of sessions required: The number of sessions for both liquid nitrogen and Cryosuccess can vary based on several factors, including the type of lesion, size, and individual response. For liquid nitrogen treatments, the number of sessions is typically determined by the nature of the skin condition being addressed. Superficial lesions, such as common warts or small skin tags may require multiple treatments spaced over several weeks, while deeper or more resistant lesions might need additional sessions. Consultations with the YHVH Medical & Aesthetic team is essential to determine the optimal treatment plan tailored to individual needs.
Results: Liquid Nitrogen treatments produce noticeable improvements in skin appearance by reducing or eliminating targeted lesions, resulting in a smoother texture. Similarly, Cryosuccess provides significant results in treating various lesions, contributing to improved skin. Individual responses may vary, and outcomes depend on factors such as lesion type and size and well as individual healing patterns. Noticeable results from both treatments often start becoming evident within 2 weeks.
Risks/Side effects: Both of the treatments pose potential risks and side effects. Liquid nitrogen may result in temporary redness, swelling, blistering, or scabbing at the treated site, occasionally accompanied by mild pain or changes in skin pigmentation. Cryosuccess carries risk for individuals with sensitive skin, where pronounced bulge formation may occur which can lead to extended healing and in extreme cases, scarring or hyperpigmentation.
Contraindications for treatment: Liquid nitrogen and cryosuccess is contraindicated in cases of cold sensitivity such as cold urticaria, cryoglobulinemia/fibrinogenemia, unstable diabetes, esanthem, and open wounds.
