Cryotherapy for Warts, Verrucas and Skin Tags: Safe, Effective Treatment at KLear Clinic

Unsightly skin lesions like warts, verrucas, and skin tags are not only common but often frustrating to deal with. They can appear anywhere on the body, cause discomfort, and knock your confidence—especially when they are visible or become irritated by clothing or movement.

If you’ve tried over-the-counter remedies without success or are looking for a fast, clinically safe solution, Cryotherapy may be the answer. At KLear Clinic, we offer cutting-edge CryoAlpha cryotherapy treatments delivered by registered healthcare professionals, in a fully CQC-regulated medical environment—something that sets us apart in the Bristol and North Somerset region.

What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy unwanted or abnormal skin tissue. In the context of skin lesion removal, cryotherapy is particularly effective for:

• Warts – caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), often found on hands and fingers.

• Verrucas – a type of wart that appears on the soles of the feet, often painful due to pressure.

• Skin tags – small, benign, fleshy growths commonly found in areas like the neck, underarms, and groin.

By targeting these lesions with intense cold, cryotherapy causes the cells to break down and the lesion to gradually fall off, revealing clearer, healthier skin underneath.

Why We Use CryoAlpha at KLear Clinic

At KLear Clinic, we are committed to using advanced, clinically trusted technologies that enhance both safety and patient outcomes. The CryoAlpha device is one of the latest innovations in cryotherapy, offering a precision-controlled, highly effective method for removing skin lesions.

Key Features of CryoAlpha:

• Pinpoint Accuracy – The device’s fine applicator tip allows our practitioners to treat lesions with great precision, ensuring surrounding healthy skin is left unharmed.

• Fast Freezing Action – Delivers nitrous oxide at extremely low temperatures, rapidly destroying the lesion in seconds.

• Minimal Discomfort – Most clients report a cold sensation or mild sting during application, but no lasting pain or discomfort.

• Sterile & Safe – The closed-tip design eliminates the risk of contamination, making it ideal for medical-grade environments like KLear Clinic.

This tool is trusted by medical and aesthetic practitioners worldwide and is particularly effective for treating small, superficial lesions without the need for cuts, stitches, or anaesthetic.

Cryotherapy at KLear Clinic: What to Expect

As one of the only CQC-regulated Health and Wellbeing Clinics in Bristol and North Somerset, KLear Clinic offers a unique blend of clinical expertise and welcoming, patient-centred care. Here’s what you can expect from your cryotherapy treatment journey with us:

1. Comprehensive Consultation

Your journey begins with a face-to-face consultation with one of our registered healthcare professionals. We assess your skin concern, determine whether cryotherapy is appropriate, and ensure it is safe for your skin type and medical history.

Not all skin lesions are benign—some may resemble moles or require further investigation. This is why diagnosis by a qualified professional is crucial before any treatment is undertaken.

2. The Treatment

If suitable, the CryoAlpha device is used to deliver a brief jet of nitrous oxide directly to the lesion. The freezing process usually takes 5 to 30 seconds, depending on the size and depth of the lesion.

Multiple lesions can often be treated in one session. For warts and verrucas, 2 to 3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart may be needed for full resolution.

3. Aftercare Support

Post-treatment, the area may appear red or blistered—this is a normal healing response. Over the next few days, a small scab may form, and the lesion typically falls off within 7–14 days.

We provide detailed aftercare instructions and offer follow-up support if needed. You can rest assured that you're in safe hands every step of the way.

Is Cryotherapy Right for You?

Cryotherapy is suitable for a wide range of patients, but it may not be appropriate for everyone. At KLear Clinic, we assess each client individually and provide honest, medically guided advice.

Good candidates for cryotherapy include people who:

• Have benign skin lesions such as warts, verrucas, or skin tags

• Have tried other treatments without success

• Are looking for a quick, effective, non-invasive solution

• Want treatment delivered in a professional clinical setting

If your lesion is suspicious or irregular in appearance, we may advise a biopsy or referral to a dermatologist before proceeding.
