Fibroma
At LUNIQ, we specialize in safe, effective, and scar-free cryotherapy treatments for a wide range of benign skin lesions.
Description and Appearance
Fibroma is a benign (noncancerous) growth made of fibrous, connective tissue, appearing as a firm or rubbery lump that is often slightly raised or dome shaped. These growths commonly occur in the skin (dermatofibroma), mouth, uterus (fibroids), or feet (plantar fibroma), and may be skin colored, pink, or brown depending on type and location. Many remain small and stable for years, while others can grow larger and cause pressure or discomfort if they press on nearby structures.
Preventions
Fibromas cannot always be fully prevented, but steps to reduce friction and trauma may help lower risk or irritation. Choose well-fitting cushioned shoes and soft, non-rubbing clothing for skin and feet, adjust sharp teeth or dentures promptly for oral health, and maintain regular gynecologic check ups for uterine fibroids to monitor growth early. Supporting overall health through weight management and chronic condition control also promotes better tissue resilience.
Cause and Significance
The exact cause of fibromas is often unclear, but factors like chronic irritation or minor trauma (such as shoe rubbing on feet or dental irritation in the mouth), hormonal influences (especially estrogen for uterine fibroids), and genetic tendencies can contribute. They are significant mainly for symptoms like pain, pressure, irritation, or cosmetic issues, and because any new lump needs evaluation to rule out serious conditions, sometimes via biopsy or imaging. While rarely cancerous, proper diagnosis ensures worrisome changes are addressed promptly.
Cryotherapy Treatment
Cryotherapy uses extreme cold in the form of liquid nitrogen, to freeze and destroy small, superficial fibromas on the skin when confirmed benign yes. The clinician applies cold briefly, causing the tissue to blister, crust, and heal over days to weeks as the body removes it. This quick, non surgical option suits minor cases to medium cases with prominent results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is cryotherapy in aesthetics?
Cryotherapy in aesthetics is a treatment that uses controlled cold temperatures to target and eliminate unwanted skin concerns such as warts, skin tags, moles, age spots, or to refresh and tighten the skin. The cooling effect can also boost circulation and stimulate collagen production for a rejuvenated appearance.
Is cryotherapy safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional, cryotherapy is generally safe. The treatment is non-invasive, quick, and has minimal side effects, though some clients may experience temporary redness, tingling, or sensitivity in the treated area.
How long does a session take?
Most cryotherapy aesthetic sessions take between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. It’s often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure” because of how quick and convenient it is.
Who should avoid cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe circulatory or heart conditions, cold sensitivity disorders (like Raynaud’s disease), or open wounds in the treatment area. A consultation is advised to ensure it’s the right option for you.
When will I see results?
Results can often be noticed immediately or within a few days, depending on the treatment type. For skin lesion removal (skin tags, moles, and warts), the treated area may darken, scab, and fall off naturally in 1–2 weeks. For rejuvenation purposes, improvements in skin tone and texture may be seen gradually over several sessions.
