The process is called cryo-necrosis, or tissue destruction by freezing.&nbsp; Cryotherapy freezing is set to -80 degrees\nFahrenheit to destroy the cells. Nitrous oxide is the active ingredient used in\ncryotherapy, instead of liquid nitrogen, which is what most people are familiar\nwith. Liquid nitrogen is not used because the temperature achieved is lower\nthat nitrous oxide and results are not as precise. Modern day Cryotherapy tools\nwith nitrous oxide look like a large pen and can apply the cooling effect very precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Anesthesia-Free<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the\nbiggest benefits of Cryotherapy is that it can be used to remove small masses\nwithout the use of anesthesia or cutting of the skin. The cold temperatures\napply a local numbing effect, which allows the pet to be treated with minimal\ndiscomfort. Cryotherapy can be used to treat a wide range of benign skin\nlesions on pets such as adenomas, skin tags and eyelid tumors. Another benefit\nis the cost of treatment is significantly lower as compared to surgical removal\nwith anesthesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Side Effects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Potential for side effects are minimal, but a\npet may lose pigment in the area causing a dark-colored pet to have a light\nspot. If all of the cells are not completely killed, the mass could grow back\nrequiring additional treatments. With any defect in the skin, there is the\npotential for secondary skin infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Cryotherapy for my Pet?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\nis not recommended to use Cryotherapy on known or potentially cancerous masses.\nYour veterinarian will want to surgically remove the entire mass, so the cells can\nbe looked at by a pathologist. At ZimmVet, we offer cryotherapy.&nbsp; The first step would be to make an appointment\nat ZimmVet to have your pet\u2019s masses examined by a doctor to determine the best\ncourse of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclaimer:&nbsp; This written content is meant to be\neducational and is not medical advice.&nbsp;\nAlways consult a veterinarian about medical advice for your pet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dr. Maria Krenz, DVM \u2013 ZimmVet-763-856-4848 Benefits of Cryotherapy Cryotherapy is a treatment that has been around for years in both the human medical field as well as veterinary care to treat masses, skin lesions, skid tags, eye tumors and more.&nbsp; In recent times, the technology has become more precise and easier to use [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-zimmvet-news-events"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cryotherapy available at ZimmVet for treatment of small Masses | ZimmVet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"One of the biggest benefits of Cryotherapy is that it can be used to remove small masses without the use of anesthesia or cutting of the skin.
