At some point, most pets will get lumps, bumps, skin tags, or warts that you’ll want to have removed. Cryosurgery with Cool Renewal is a great alternative to scalpel removal or traditional liquid nitrogen methods for removing them.
Cryosurgery means not only a shorter procedure time, but less anesthesia, if any. It can be a great alternative for pets who are not suitable candidates for an anesthetic procedure due to age or other medical reasons.
Cryosurgery is convenient, non-invasive, minimizes pain, bleeding and complications that are commonly associated with scalpel removal. In most cases, the procedure takes less than one minute!
Cryosurgery is the application of cryogen to the skin to destroy unhealthy tissue. Think of it as controlled frostbite, with little or no discomfort. Once the skin tumor is frozen, the skin may blister or turn red within a few hours or days and will eventually scab and naturally slough off within 2-3 weeks. New, healthy tissue will regenerate underneath the frozen tissue, and should return to normal color within a few weeks to months after the dead tissue has sloughed.
If you’d like to find out if your pet is a good candidate or have any questions or concerns, contact one of our veterinary clinics.
