The total cost of cryotherapy with intralesional corticosteroid treatment depends on the:

• Scar size: In general, the larger the scar(s), the more treatment sessions will be required. Most doctors charge per session, so more sessions will mean substantially higher costs.
• Response of scar(s) to treatment: Depending on how much improvement occurs after each treatment session, the doctor will decide how many sessions are necessary. Each additional session increases the total cost of treatment.
• Geographic location of medical facility: Combination treatment of cryotherapy with intralesional corticosteroids is more expensive in some cities and countries than in others.
• Physician’s experience: Doctors who have more experience with cryotherapy with intralesional corticosteroids may charge a higher fee.

• Recurrence of scars: Hypertrophic and keloid scars may potentially improve, but they may sometimes regrow, requiring a new round of treatments. This will drive up the costs.

If you decide to undergo cryotherapy with intralesional corticosteroid treatment, obtain price estimates from multiple doctors before scheduling a treatment.
