Skin Tag Removal Using Cryotherapy

Skin tags are harmless, soft skin growths that commonly appear in areas where the skin folds — such as the neck, underarms, chest, groin, or eyelids. Although they are benign, many people choose to remove them because they catch on clothing, cause irritation, or affect confidence.

At Square Pharmacy, we offer clinical skin tag removal using medical‑grade cryotherapy, delivered with either nitrous oxide (N₂O) or liquid nitrogen (LN₂) depending on the size, location, and thickness of the skin tag.

Both methods are widely used in UK primary care and dermatology settings and provide a quick, safe, and effective way to remove unwanted skin tags.

Wart and Verruca Removal using Cryotherapy

Warts and verrucae are common viral skin lesions, but when they become painful, persistent or simply inconvenient, professional treatment can help you clear them quickly and safely. At Square Pharmacy, we use medical‑grade cryotherapy — a targeted freezing technique that destroys the affected tissue while protecting the surrounding healthy skin. Cryotherapy causes the cells to die so it falls of after a few weeks.

Our clinicians assess each lesion individually and provide a straightforward, effective treatment plan designed to restore clear, comfortable skin with minimal downtime.
