Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy, or better said, cryosurgery is the destruction of tissue using subzero temperatures. It stands as one of the most commonly used surgical techniques among dermatologists and family physicians, as it is relatively simple to perform, versatile, and inexpensive when compared to other surgical alternatives.1 It is a surgical option for treating benign nonmelanocytic skin lesions such as lentigo solaris, ephelides, and seborrheic keratosis (SK), and premalignant and malignant nonmelanocytic skin lesions such as pigmented actinic keratosis and pigmented basal cell carcinomas (BCCs).SCOPUS: ch.b
