Surgical Excision and Cryotherapy
Treatment Description
It is possible to remove drooping excess skin, cysts or lipomas below the surface of the skin by surgical excision with or without the aid of a laser.
The procedure is relatively fast, comfortable and is performed under local anesthesia or with the use of an anesthetic gel. If you suspect a malignant tumour, you have to speak to your doctor for a referral to the appropriate specialists in the healthcare system.
Cryotherapy is a procedure that uses liquid nitrogen or dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) at extremely cold temperatures to destroy harmful skin tissue.
