Led by experienced practitioner Mo McGregor, Cosmetic Cryotherapy provides a friendly, discreet and personalised approach to treating unwanted skin blemishes, helping clients feel more comfortable and confident in their skin.
With over 25 years of experience in the beauty and personal care industry, Mo understands that even the smallest skin concern can affect someone’s confidence. Her approach combines specialist training, professional expertise and a genuine commitment to making every client feel relaxed, informed and reassured throughout their treatment.
Trained with Cryosthetics, a recognised provider of specialist cryotherapy training, Mo is fully qualified and insured to provide cosmetic cryotherapy treatments using precision freezing technology.
What Is Cosmetic Cryotherapy?
Cosmetic cryotherapy is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses controlled freezing technology to target and remove unwanted benign skin lesions without the need for surgery, cutting or stitches.
The treatment uses nitrous oxide delivered through a specialist precision device, allowing the practitioner to apply intense cold directly to the affected area. This freezing process breaks down the unwanted tissue, which gradually sheds as the skin heals.
The treatment itself is extremely quick, often taking just 5 to 30 seconds per lesion, depending on its size and type. Most clients can return to their normal daily activities immediately afterwards, although some temporary redness, blistering or scabbing may occur during healing.
Some skin blemishes require only one treatment, while larger or more persistent lesions may need additional sessions.
What Skin Conditions Can Be Treated?
Cosmetic Cryotherapy offers treatments for a wide variety of common skin concerns.
Skin tags are small, soft skin growths that frequently appear around the neck, underarms, eyelids and areas where skin rubs together. Although usually harmless, they can become uncomfortable, catch on clothing or jewellery, or simply be something clients would prefer to have removed.
Cherry angiomas, sometimes called red blood spots, are small red or purple marks caused by clusters of blood vessels. They commonly develop with age and can appear on the face or body.
Milia are tiny white bumps caused by trapped keratin beneath the skin. They often appear around the eyes, cheeks and forehead and can be difficult to remove using conventional skincare products.
Seborrhoeic keratoses are common, non-cancerous skin growths that often develop as we get older. They can have a raised, rough or waxy appearance and vary in colour from light brown to almost black.
Age spots and sun spots are areas of pigmentation that typically develop following years of sun exposure. They are particularly common on the face, hands and other exposed areas of the body.
Warts and verrucas are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can sometimes be persistent or uncomfortable. Targeted cryotherapy offers an alternative for suitable lesions, particularly when over-the-counter treatments have been unsuccessful.
Other benign skin lesions may also be suitable for treatment following an individual assessment. Any suspicious, changing or undiagnosed lesion should be assessed by an appropriate medical professional before cosmetic treatment.
A Personal, Professional and Reassuring Experience
Mo understands that clients can feel nervous about having a skin blemish removed, particularly when the treatment involves a sensitive or visible area.
Every appointment begins with a consultation to discuss the client’s concerns, assess the area and explain the treatment process. There is no pressure to proceed, and clients are encouraged to ask questions so they feel completely comfortable with their decision.
During treatment, the freezing device is applied directly to the targeted blemish. Clients may experience a brief cold or stinging sensation, but the application itself usually lasts only seconds.
Following treatment, the area may become red or develop a small blister or scab as the skin begins to heal. Depending on the lesion, the treated tissue will typically resolve over the following one to three weeks.
Clear aftercare advice is provided, together with guidance on what to expect during the healing process.
Private Skin Blemish Removal in Cheshire
Many people are unaware that the NHS does not routinely offer removal of benign skin lesions when the reason for treatment is purely cosmetic.
As a result, increasing numbers of people are seeking private alternatives for skin tags, age spots and other unwanted blemishes that may not require medical treatment but can still affect their confidence or everyday comfort.
Cosmetic Cryotherapy offers a convenient, specialist service for clients looking for a non-surgical option in a welcoming clinical environment.
Treatments are available for men, women and children aged 12 and over. Younger children may also be considered on an individual basis, depending on their circumstances and treatment suitability.
Mo has also treated GPs and other healthcare professionals who have chosen her services for their own skin concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does cosmetic cryotherapy hurt?
Most clients find cosmetic cryotherapy very tolerable, with little discomfort during treatment. You may experience a brief stinging or cold sensation as the freezing technology is applied, but this usually lasts only a few seconds. Sensitivity can vary depending on the area being treated, with delicate areas such as around the eyes potentially feeling more sensitive. Your practitioner will explain what to expect before treatment.
How much does cosmetic cryotherapy cost?
Cosmetic cryotherapy offers an affordable alternative to some traditional methods of skin lesion removal, particularly when compared with certain private dermatology procedures. Prices at Cosmetic Cryotherapy start from £95, depending on the type, size and number of blemishes being treated. Your practitioner will discuss the likely costs during your consultation so you know what to expect.
Do I need to see my GP before having cosmetic cryotherapy?
Not always. Many common, clearly identifiable benign skin blemishes can be treated without a prior GP appointment. However, certain lesions require medical assessment before treatment, particularly if they are changing in appearance, colour or size, bleeding, or causing unexplained symptoms. Your practitioner will advise if a GP or dermatologist assessment is necessary before proceeding.
What skin conditions can cosmetic cryotherapy treat?
Cosmetic cryotherapy can be used to treat a variety of benign skin blemishes, including skin tags, cherry angiomas (red blood spots), milia, seborrhoeic keratoses, age spots, sun spots, warts and verrucas. Suitability depends on the individual lesion, its location and medical history. A consultation will help determine whether cryotherapy is an appropriate treatment.
How does cosmetic cryotherapy work?
Cosmetic cryotherapy uses a specialist device to deliver a precise application of extremely cold nitrous oxide directly to the unwanted skin blemish. The freezing process damages the targeted tissue, allowing it to gradually break down and shed as the skin heals. The treatment is non-surgical and does not involve cutting or stitches.
How long does a cosmetic cryotherapy treatment take?
The freezing application itself is usually very quick, often lasting just a few seconds per lesion. The overall appointment will depend on the number and type of blemishes being treated, as well as the consultation and aftercare advice required.
Will I need more than one treatment?
Many small skin blemishes respond well to a single cryotherapy treatment, although some may require additional sessions. Larger, deeper or more persistent lesions, including certain warts and verrucas, may need repeat treatment to achieve the desired result. Your practitioner will discuss this with you before treatment.
Is there any downtime after cosmetic cryotherapy?
One of the main benefits of cosmetic cryotherapy is that there is usually minimal disruption to everyday activities. Most clients can return to their normal routine immediately after their appointment. However, the treated area may become red, swollen or develop a small blister or scab as part of the healing process. Appropriate aftercare is important to support recovery.
How long does the skin take to heal after cryotherapy?
Healing times vary depending on the size, type and location of the lesion. Many treated areas heal within approximately one to three weeks, although some may take longer. Temporary changes in skin colour can also occur, and occasionally these may be permanent. Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare guidance and explain what to expect.
Can cosmetic cryotherapy leave a scar?
Although cosmetic cryotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure, no skin treatment is completely without risk. Scarring or changes in pigmentation can occasionally occur, particularly with larger lesions, deeper freezing or certain skin types. Your practitioner will explain the potential risks and assess whether the treatment is suitable for your skin.
Can I have several skin tags or blemishes removed during one appointment?
Yes, it may be possible to treat multiple suitable skin blemishes during the same appointment. This will depend on their size, location and type. Your practitioner can assess the areas you would like treated and advise on the most appropriate approach.
Can cosmetic cryotherapy be used on the face?
Yes, certain benign skin blemishes on the face may be suitable for cosmetic cryotherapy, including some skin tags, milia and other superficial lesions. However, facial skin can be particularly delicate, especially around the eyes, so careful assessment is essential. Not every lesion or facial area will be suitable for treatment.
Is cosmetic cryotherapy suitable for men and children?
Yes. Cosmetic Cryotherapy welcomes women, men and children aged 12 and over. Younger children may also be considered on an individual, case-by-case basis, depending on the nature of the skin concern and treatment suitability.
Can skin blemishes come back after cryotherapy?
Successfully treated lesions may not return in the same location, but this cannot be guaranteed. Some conditions, particularly viral warts and verrucas, can recur, and new skin tags, age spots or other blemishes may develop elsewhere over time. Additional treatments may occasionally be required.
Why choose private cosmetic cryotherapy instead of the NHS?
The NHS does not routinely provide removal of benign skin lesions when treatment is requested solely for cosmetic reasons. Private cosmetic cryotherapy provides an alternative for people who would like suitable, unwanted skin blemishes treated without undergoing a surgical procedure. It can offer convenient appointments and a personalised approach to treatment.
Where is Cosmetic Cryotherapy based?
Cosmetic Cryotherapy is based at Dr Rebecca Aesthetics & Medical Clinic in Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire, making it accessible for clients across Stockport, Bramhall, Wilmslow, Manchester and the surrounding areas.
