THE “SEE & TREAT” METHOD
- By using low-tech resources in a single visit, we spot pre-cancerous lesions and treat them immediately.
- Application of vinegar turns lesions visible (“See”), enabling precise treatment with cryotherapy (“Treat”)
- Cryotherapy is a quick, minimally invasive freezing procedure with an 85-90% cure rate
