How Verruca Freeze Works

By freezing the skin lesion to -70°C, Verruca Freeze destroys the affected cells, promoting healthy skin regeneration. This cryogenic treatment is a modern solution for removing verrucas and other skin lesions.

Cryogenic Treatment Explained

The Verruca Freeze device achieves and maintains a freezing temperature of -70°C (-94°F), which is critical for effective lesion destruction. The cold temperature of the cryogen creates a numbing effect, making the procedure generally painless or with minimal discomfort.

• The cryogen used in Verruca Freeze creates a self-anesthetizing effect, making the procedure more comfortable for patients.
• The precision applicator system allows for targeted treatment with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
• The freeze-thaw cycle is essential for effective treatment of verrucas and other skin lesions.

Verruca Freeze offers a controlled delivery system, unlike traditional liquid nitrogen treatments, ensuring precise application of the cryogen to the affected area.

The science behind Verruca Freeze involves the crystallization of cellular water and disruption of cell membranes when extreme cold is applied to skin lesions, leading to the destruction of the affected cells.

Benefits of Choosing Verruca Freeze

The Verruca Freeze treatment has emerged as a preferred solution for medical professionals. Its numerous benefits make it an attractive option for both practitioners and patients.

Key Advantages

• Quick and Efficient: Most lesions require only one application of a 20-40 second freeze, followed by a 40-second thaw phase.
• Minimal Discomfort: The cold temperature creates a numbing effect, making the procedure generally painless.
• Effective: Many lesions are resolved with just a single treatment.

Verruca Freeze is not only effective but also cost-effective and safe. It eliminates the need for expensive liquid nitrogen storage and is non-flammable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly.

The Verruca Freeze Procedure

Removing verrucas is made easy with the Verruca Freeze procedure, a cryosurgical treatment method. This efficient process involves a few straightforward steps.

Step-by-Step Treatment Process

The Verruca Freeze procedure begins with an initial assessment phase, where the practitioner evaluates the lesion to determine the appropriate application method. The treatment involves a 3-6 second spray that initiates the freezing process, followed by a 20-40 second freeze duration, which is critical for effective treatment.

• The practitioner assesses the lesion to choose the right application method.
• A 3-6 second spray is applied to initiate freezing.
• The lesion is frozen for 20-40 seconds to ensure effective treatment.
• A 40-second thaw phase completes the cellular destruction process.
• Most lesions require only one application for complete destruction.
• The total procedure time is approximately 1-2 minutes, making it efficient and convenient.

The Verruca Freeze procedure is quick, self-anesthetizing, and easy, making it an ideal treatment solution for verrucas. After the treatment, the practitioner may assess the need for additional applications, particularly for larger or calloused lesions.

Types of Skin Lesions Treatable with Verruca Freeze

The Verruca Freeze treatment is cleared for use on 21 different types of benign skin lesions, making it a valuable tool for dermatological treatments.

FDA-Approved Treatment Applications

Application Methods: CryoCones and CryoBuds

The Verruca Freeze system offers two primary application methods for treating lesions: CryoCones and CryoBuds. These precision tools cater to different lesion types, ensuring effective treatment.

Precision Tools for Different Lesion Types

CryoCones are reusable soft-tipped limiting cones that create a seal around the lesion for precise spray application. Available in sizes 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 mm, they can be sterilized for repeated use, making them cost-effective.

CryoBuds, on the other hand, are disposable foam-tipped applicators designed for hard-to-reach or bony areas. They come in three sizes: small for 3mm lesions, medium for 5mm lesions, and large for 9mm lesions.

• CryoCones: Reusable, soft-tipped cones for precise application.
• CryoBuds: Disposable applicators for hard-to-reach areas.

Choosing between CryoCones and CryoBuds depends on the lesion type, location, and patient comfort.

What to Expect After Treatment

Understanding the post-treatment effects of Verruca Freeze is crucial for a smooth recovery. After the procedure, the treated area may exhibit redness, mild swelling, and potentially form a blister.

Healing Timeline and Aftercare

The healing process varies depending on the type and size of the lesion. For many lesions, complete resolution occurs within a few weeks. However, larger or calloused lesions, such as plantar warts, may require more than one treatment and a longer healing time.

Proper aftercare is essential to promote optimal healing and minimize complications. Patients should keep the treated area clean and dry, avoiding direct sun exposure.
