Liquid Nitrogen
Liquid nitrogen is a fast, effective treatment provided in many practices to treat viral warts, sun damaged skin, skin tags and many benign cosmetic lesions. It comes in a container with a nozzle and is usually applied by swab or spray. Often one treatment is all that is needed but sometimes it may need repeating after two weeks.
Because it cannot be stored for too long, you will often find that your GP will treat a number of patients one after the other.

The surgery holds sufficient liquid nitrogen stocks to provide you with this service each and every day. We do ask that each lesion for possible liquid nitrogen is reviewed by one of our doctors prior to starting therapy, to ensure that liquid nitrogen is the most appropriate treatment for your skin lesion. Once assessed, our practice nurse team will manage this ongoing care.
