Liquid nitrogen for dermatology

Liquid nitrogen (LN₂) is a key tool in dermatological cryotherapy. Its extremely low temperature allows for precise freezing of skin lesions, making it effective for removing warts, actinic keratoses, and other superficial growths. LN₂ is widely favored for its safety, rapid action, and controlled tissue destruction, making it a cornerstone in the treatment of various dermatologic conditions.

Liquid nitrogen applications in dermatology

Liquid nitrogen, with a boiling point of -196°C, is a colourless, odourless cryogen that leaves no residue. Its ability to rapidly freeze tissue makes it ideal for use in cosmetic and medical dermatology. When applied to abnormal tissue, it forms ice crystals inside cells, disrupts cellular structures, denatures proteins, and restricts blood flow, leading to the controlled destruction of targeted tissue.

Common applications include:

  • Benign skin lesions
  • Warts
  • Actinic keratoses
  • Low-grade skin cancers

Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy is fast, minimally invasive, and highly effective, making it a go-to treatment in outpatient dermatological care. It's an ideal solution for cosmetic clinics offering cryotherapy, dermatologists performing cryosurgery, outpatient skin treatment centres, and other medical facilities requiring a reliable LN2 supply.

The importance of reliable LN2 supply for dermatology

On-site liquid nitrogen generation eliminates the need for purchasing, storing, and transporting traditional bulk supplies, avoiding boil-off losses and logistical challenges. With continuous, on-demand production, practices are no longer vulnerable to supply chain disruptions.

Risks of unreliable LN2 supply

  • Vulnerability to supply chain disruptions: dependence on external suppliers exposes practices to transport, storage, and logistical failures.
  • Increased costs: emergency sourcing, expedited deliveries, and wasted product from boil-off contribute to financial losses.
  • Patient dissatisfaction: longer wait times and treatment delays reduce trust and satisfaction.

Why choose a liquid nitrogen generator?

Liquid nitrogen generators offer several advantages over traditional methods for dermatology practices:

  • Reliable Supply – Provides continuous, on-demand LN₂, ensuring uninterrupted patient care and procedure scheduling.

  • Low Maintenance – Simple operation with minimal upkeep, freeing staff to focus on clinical work.

  • Enhanced Safety – Removes the risks tied to transporting and storing bulk LN₂ cylinders or dewars.

  • Cost Efficiency – Reduces long-term expenses by eliminating delivery fees, boil-off losses, and supplier dependence.

  • Sustainable Practice – Lowers carbon emissions by avoiding frequent deliveries and excess storage.
