Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy (Medical Lesion Removal) Cost in Korea
Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy is a trusted dermatological procedure in Korea for removing benign skin lesions, such as warts, moles, skin tags, actinic keratoses, and seborrheic keratoses. This treatment freezes the lesion using -196°C liquid nitrogen, causing it to peel off naturally. It is fast, minimally invasive, and typically requires little recovery time. Clinics across Korea offer this procedure in dermatology and skin surgery settings, with cost depending on lesion size, number, and complexity.
