Removal of multiple warts

Multiple Wart Removal

Wart removal is performed using a laser. The water contained in skin cells absorbs the light emitted by the laser beam, converting light energy into heat energy. As a result, the water within the cells is thermally affected. Skin lesions are painlessly removed through the action of light pulses. In most cases, a single treatment session is sufficient; however, in rare cases, the procedure may need to be repeated. Some discomfort or pain may be experienced during the procedure.

Depending on its intensity, local anesthesia may be used in certain cases. When local anesthesia is applied, a topical anesthetic is either spread on or applied to the skin.

Alternative Diagnostic and Treatment Methods

• Cryotherapy – the skin lesion is destroyed by freezing it with liquid nitrogen. This procedure is generally more painful, causes blister formation, and may damage the surrounding healthy skin more than laser treatment.
• Electrosurgery – the skin lesion is destroyed using an electric current. Wound healing typically takes longer than after a laser procedure.
• Curettage – the skin lesion is scraped away using a medical instrument called a curette. The wound may bleed more heavily than after laser treatment.

After the Procedure

Following the procedure, the wound may be painful, may ooze during healing, and a scab will form. Physical activity is not restricted, and sick leave is generally not required. According to the physician’s recommendations, the wound may be treated with medication and covered with a dressing, which should be changed every 1–3 days until the wound has healed. For at least 24 hours after the procedure, avoid heat exposure, hot water, saunas, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The wound may be exposed to water 2–3 days after the procedure. Any dressing that becomes wet after bathing should be replaced. The formed scabs should not be touched, picked, or scratched. For several days after the procedure, avoid using topical medications such as tretinoin, retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid.

To ensure an effective treatment outcome, a dermatologist consultation is required (the consultation fee is added to the procedure price).
