Cryotherapy involves the application of liquid nitrogen to your wart. The liquid nitrogen will freeze the wart, destroying the skin cells. This is a simple and quick procedure; a typical session will take only 5 – 15 minutes. It may be painful, however. Most warts will blister, scab over, and fall off 7 – 10 days after the cryotherapy session.
