Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a specialised method of getting rid of unwanted warts, verruca or other minor lesions. The unwanted lesion is removed by freezing the area. You may need more than one treatment depending on each individual case.

Side Effects/Complications:

  • Possibility of Pain
  • Swelling
  • Blistering
  • Hypopigmentation (change in skin color)

You will be asked to sign a consent prior to treatment to ensure the procedures understood and agreed. This service is free to medical card patients. Patients who are covered by VHI  Quinn or Hibernina medical Insurance can avail of this service under their policy.

 
Appointments for cryosurgery can be made with any doctor, and the treatment will usually be carried out on the first visit. Please phone Rowe Creavin General Practice reception on  051-370057 for appointment.
All surgery other than cryosurgery require a pre-surgical assessment appointment.
