HPV is a common disease of infectious etiology, the clinical manifestation of which is the formation of growths on the skin.
More often, papillomas are purely a cosmetic defect that needs to be dealt with. One of the most effective and popular procedures for removing papillomas is called cryodestruction, the essence of which is to expose the growths to the destructive effect of low temperatures.
A significant disadvantage of the method is that it can only be used with the help of a medical professional. The modern pharmacological market offers a unique product called cryopharm, the action of which also involves the destruction of papillomas by cold. You can use it yourself; you don’t need to have any skills or abilities to do this. What are the advantages and features of using cryopharma? Let's talk about this further.
What it is
The cryodestruction procedure involves exposing skin growths to the destructive action of liquid nitrogen. This method is quite painful, but highly effective. In the recent past, it was permissible to remove papillomas using cold only in a medical facility. Now the situation has changed radically.
An alternative to this method is a drug called cryopharma for papillomas. Unlike the popular procedure, the procedure for freezing pathological tissues occurs as a result of the interaction of two active components - dimethyl ether and propane. The above ingredients provide exposure to cold temperatures down to – 57 degrees on neoplasms.
Cryopharma is a spray that is convenient to use for removing papillomas of various sizes and shapes. In addition to the canister, which is enough for at least twelve procedures, the kit for removing papillomas includes a holder with replaceable applicators designed for direct contact with the skin.
General information
The remedy for warts Cryopharm is a freezing drug. In medical institutions, warts are treated in a way that also refers to freezing. Specialists use liquid nitrogen at a temperature of -196 °C. Cryopharma for warts, a remedy similar in effect, is used independently at home . It treats the area of the skin where the papilloma is located. Thus, the papilloma freezes and disappears without causing harm to the skin in particular and the entire body in general. Cryopharm for warts is produced along with an aerosol can, which contains a mixture of two substances - dimethyl ether and propane, as well as a set of 12 disposable applicators and a holder for them. Along with this, detailed instructions are provided.
Operating principle
The principle of operation of the cryopharm refrigerant is more than simple: when the components of the drug come into contact with the surface of the papilloma, tissues of a pathological nature and, accordingly, viral microorganisms are almost instantly frozen. After freezing, a small bubble or peeling film forms on the skin - the consequences may vary somewhat, it depends on the size, as well as the characteristics of the location of the papillomas.
For complete restoration of the skin and the formation of healthy epithelium at the site, it may take from several days to several weeks. As a rule, after eliminating small papillomas, the size of which does not exceed half a centimeter, scarring and restoration of the epidermal layer occurs within one to two weeks. In such cases, a single use of cryopharma is sufficient; for large papillomas, at least two procedures may be required.
What happens after cryodestruction?
After exposing a wart or papilloma to liquid nitrogen, changes will occur due to which the skin will become smooth and clean, and the formation will completely disappear from its surface.
Within 24 hours after the procedure, a blister forms at the site of the wart or papilloma. If it is not there, this may indicate that the procedure needs to be repeated, or that nitrogen has affected a small formation. It is best not to touch the bubble: if you pierce it yourself, the risk of infection is too great. But if this happens, it is necessary to treat the skin with chlorhexidine, and then apply a bactericidal patch to the site of the bubble. After the bubble bursts - without intervention this can happen on the 4th day - a crust forms in its place, which subsequently disappears. As a result, after 7-10 days after exposure to liquid nitrogen, the skin will become absolutely smooth and even.
Advantages and disadvantages
So, the question as to whether papilloma can be removed with cryopharma can be answered positively. The product helps get rid of growths of all sizes and shapes. In fairness, it should be noted that often two or three procedures may be required to completely remove large tumors.
However, cryopharma for removing papillomas also has some disadvantages. Some of the main ones are the high cost and discomfort felt during the tumor removal procedure. However, as you know, a truly high-quality and highly effective product simply cannot be cheap. As for unpleasant sensations, discomfort is present only for a few seconds, that is, when the skin is directly exposed to cryopharma.
The principle of action of the drug
The main operating principle of Cryopharma is based on spot freezing of the pathological area of the skin , as a result of which the liquid contained in the cells is converted into small ice crystals. They, in turn, have a destructive effect on the membranes of pathological cells and completely destroy their structure.
In the process of freezing pathological skin tissue, the nutrition and blood supply to the neoplasm is completely cut off, due to which the growth ceases to develop and regenerate. After complete thawing of the tissue in the area treated with the drug, necrosis begins to develop. At this time, the human immune system begins the process of rejecting necrotic cells, and healthy skin begins to grow in the area of the skin where the defect was previously located.
In fact, the mechanism of action of the drug is very similar to cryogenic destruction , which is so often carried out in specialized clinics to remove warts and papillomas. Only the use of the drug does not require a visit to the doctor's office, since it is easy and simple to use at home.
As a rule, a single use of Cryopharma is sufficient to completely remove a small skin defect. As for larger growths, it may take two to four procedures to completely remove them. After treatment with the product, traces of freezing completely disappear within 10-14 days.
Instructions for use of the drug
To effectively remove papillomas through the use of cryopharm aerosol, as well as to prevent the re-formation of growths, it is important to use the product according to the instructions for use. The procedure must be carried out in stages, the basic rules are as follows:
- First you need to prepare the applicator. It is strictly not recommended to reuse it, as there is a risk of self-infection. The applicator should be selected so that its surface completely coincides with the surface of the growth; if this is not available, you can use scissors. This measure is necessary to prevent the cooling substance from getting on healthy tissue, which can lead to the appearance of wounds and scars.
- Next, the nozzle is put on the can for further action. Immediately before applying the product, you need to treat the skin with any antiseptic.
- Next, you need to press the applicator to the surface of the papilloma, holding it for the required amount of time. For example, if the size of the growth is less than five millimeters, it is enough to hold the applicator for ten seconds. With larger growths, the time increases.
- For large growths, the drug is reapplied at intervals of several days.
After removing the papilloma, a small wound may form. To prevent infection, it is necessary to treat the damaged area with any antiseptic agents. This should be done regularly until the tissue is completely restored. It is important to remember that cryopharm aerosol can only be used for the actual removal of papillomas; it is strictly forbidden to use a spray for prevention.
Operating principle of cryopharma
The essence of cryopharma's work is freezing papillomas. Because of this, the liquid located in the intracellular space turns into microscopic ice crystals. This leads to the destruction of the cell membrane and the death of the virus.

In addition to this, during freezing the blood supply to the tissue is disrupted. Therefore, cells lose the ability to recover even after thawing. As a result, tissue necrosis occurs. The immune system tries to reject necrotic tissue, and the body begins rehabilitation, forming layers of healthy epithelium.
If the papilloma is small in size, then a single surface treatment is sufficient for removal. After the drug has been applied, the neoplasm disappears after two weeks. Large growths are treated several times, with a break of 14 days. The procedure is repeated until the problem is completely resolved.
Cryopharma is suitable for removing papillomas that appear on the skin. It is prohibited to apply the product to warts that appear on the mucous membranes.
The product is very convenient for self-treatment, as it does not impose restrictions on the patient. After applying the drug, you can lead your normal life. It is allowed to visit rooms with high humidity: shower, sauna, swimming pool.
In addition, by purchasing cryopharma you can save a lot of time and resources. The cost of treatment with the drug is much cheaper than clinical methods, for example, radiosurgery or laser. You can get rid of several growths at the same time.
Contraindications
Is it possible to remove papillomas using cryopharma?
Quite if there is no risk of transformation of growths into oncological tumors. However, before carrying out the procedure, you should definitely familiarize yourself with the list of contraindications, the presence of which precludes the use of the drug:
- Childhood. It is strictly unacceptable to use refrigerant to treat children under four years of age.
- It is impossible to carry out procedures for removing papillomas located in the nasal cavity, on mucous tissues, and eyelids.
- The use of this drug for the treatment of papillomavirus in people suffering from various forms of diabetes is not recommended, as there is a risk of infection of the wound or a long-term absence of tissue repair processes.
- Diseases of various etiologies associated with disruption of blood flow processes.
- You should postpone the use of cryopharm aerosol if you have dermatological diseases associated with the appearance of irritation, redness, and other manifestations of a similar nature on the skin.
Also, the drug is not recommended for use during pregnancy and lactation.
There are no categorical contraindications to this, but there is also no data on the absence of a negative effect on the fetus.
Contraindications for use
"Wartner" acts on the growth to the very base, while adjacent tissues may be affected. To avoid negative consequences, contraindications must be taken into account. Situations in which the use of Wartner Cryo is prohibited:
- pregnancy;
- breast-feeding;
- age up to 4 years;
- diabetes;
- pathologies of the circulatory system;
- cardiovascular diseases.
The use of drugs near nevi and moles is not allowed. Particular care is required with brown growths. It is prohibited to use the product for cryo-freezing of neoplasms of unknown etiology. If the patient is not sure that it is a wart or thorn on his skin, and not a mole or nevus, he should not perform any manipulations on his own. Failure to follow this recommendation can result in serious problems, including death.
Exposure of cold growths located in the genital area, face, armpits, and neck sometimes causes side effects. Possible negative phenomena:
- formation of an ischemic ring;
- scar formation;
- damage to nerve endings.
As a rule, undesirable effects appear if the patient overdoses or does not follow the instructions for Wartner Cryo. Usually, after a short time, the symptoms disappear on their own, but it is better not to take risks and use the product very carefully.
Contraindications and side effects
The use of Cryopharma is prohibited:
- children under 4 years old,
- during pregnancy and breastfeeding,
- for diabetes,
- on delicate areas of the skin - face, neck, chest, genitals, armpit or buttock area.
Before using the drug, patients with circulatory disorders require prior consultation with a specialist. Cryopharma is not used to remove birthmarks, moles, or neoplasms of unknown origin.
Side effects are associated with violation of the technique of using the drug. Contact of the product on healthy areas of the skin may cause tissue damage. Exceeding the specified time limit for using the product may result in damage to the upper layers of the skin and nerve endings.
Side effects and complications during cryodestruction of papillomas
To avoid complications when using Cryopharma to remove papillomas, you must take precautions and follow the instructions. Exceeding the exposure time leads to deep and prolonged freezing, causing irreversible damage to the skin - scars may remain.
By incorrectly determining the type of skin diseases, you can provoke their accelerated development or complicate further treatment. Be sure to consult your doctor!
Contact of the aerosol with healthy tissue can lead to the appearance of a white ischemic ring around the tumor.
What to remember
- Before using Cryopharm to remove warts at home, be sure to visit a dermatologist. The specialist will determine the nature of the formation and determine the feasibility of using the product.
- Do not keep the applicator on the wart for longer than the prescribed time to enhance the effect of the cryo procedure; such zeal will lead to skin injury and the development of side effects.
- Warts, as a rule, indicate weak immunity. To prevent relapse of the disease, take care to strengthen the body's defenses.
