TREATMENT
Cryotherapy Nairobi
Cryotherapy is an advanced treatment that uses extreme cold to freeze and remove abnormal tissue. It is effective for various skin conditions like warts and skin tags, as well as certain cancers, including prostate, cervical, and liver cancer. In Nairobi, Avané Clinic offers cryotherapy as a minimally invasive solution, providing fast recovery and minimal discomfort.
How does Cryotherapy Treatment in Nairobi work?
Cryotherapy treatment in Nairobi works by applying extreme cold to abnormal tissue, causing the cells to freeze and die. At Avané Clinic, our healthcare providers use substances such as liquid nitrogen, liquid nitrous oxide, or argon gas to create this intense cold. The treatment can be applied externally on the skin or internally within the body. For skin conditions, a spraying device or cotton swab is used, while internal treatments involve a cryoprobe inserted through a small incision, guided by imaging technology.
What to expect during Cryotherapy Treatment in Nairobi?
During cryotherapy treatment in Nairobi, you can expect a straightforward and minimally invasive procedure. For external applications, the healthcare provider will use a spraying device or cotton swab to apply liquid nitrogen directly to the abnormal tissue. If the treatment is internal, a cryoprobe will be inserted through a small incision, often guided by ultrasound. Depending on the location of the tissue, local or general anesthesia may be administered. The procedure typically results in minimal discomfort, and the treated area may blister and peel as it heals.
What are the results and benefits of Cryotherapy Treatment in Nairobi?
The results of cryotherapy treatment in Nairobi include the successful removal of abnormal tissue with minimal pain and quick recovery times. The benefits are numerous: it’s a minimally invasive procedure with less pain and bleeding compared to traditional surgery, and it carries a lower risk of damaging healthy tissue. Cryotherapy effectively treats skin conditions like warts, skin tags, and dark spots, as well as some internal cancers. Patients can expect significant improvement in the treated area and a return to normal activities shortly after the procedure.
