Cryospray 59 is based upon the principle that living cells which are rapidly frozen are initially damaged and subsequently die from the effects of freezing.

It is now widely thought that it is the rate of cooling and thawing which causes this effect rather than the actual temperature achieved and that in practice few cells are able to change quickly enough to protect themselves from the rapid change in temperature.

It is probable that the membranes of affected cells are ruptured during freezing, releasing cell contents and viral antigens. This release is recognised by immunoactive cells and can generate a cell band immune response which results in a regression of plantar warts.

Cryospray 59 is designed to freeze tissue to temperatures of around -50°C to achieve an effective result. Other Cryogenic treatments (e.g. liquid nitrogen) can reduce the temperature of the tissues to -185°C which may result in a lot of pain.
