Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of argon gas cryotherapy for treating superficial skin lesions. Methods: Using a cryotherapy device, two patients with superficial skin lesions were treated with argon gas cryotherapy, and the outcomes were observed. Results: Both patients achieved ideal results after three sessions of argon gas cryotherapy, with no recurrence observed during a 3-month follow-up period. Conclusion: Argon gas cryotherapy is effective for treating superficial skin lesions and holds significant clinical value.
