Warts are a common skin condition that many people experience at some point in their lives. They are small, rough growths on the skin that can appear on various parts of the body. Warts are caused by a viral infection called the human papilloma virus and can be contagious but not dangerous. A wart on the sole of your foot is called a verruca. Infection makes the skin grow larger into a ball of skin and thicken.
One of the most common types of warts is called a "common wart." These warts typically appear on the hands, fingers, or around the nails. They have a rough texture and may have tiny black dots, which are actually small blood vessels.
Warts can also occur on other areas of the body, such as the feet (Verruca’s or also known as plantar warts) or even on the face. Regardless of where they appear, warts can be bothersome and unsightly for many individuals.
Warts are not dangerous; they usually go away on their own but may take months or even years.
Fortunately, there are several treatment options available to help remove warts and restore fresh skin. From over-the-counter remedies to medical procedures, there is a wide range of choices depending on the severity and location of the wart. Among these treatments, laser wart removal has emerged as a popular choice due to its remarkable efficiency and precision.
The different Types of warts are:
Laser wart removal uses an intense beam of Laser light to burn and destroy the wart tissue. Local anesthetic can be used depending on the number of warts to be removed or the size of the area to be treated.
The Laser used for the wart removal is a short-wave diathermy unit. The unit uses an alternating, high frequency current to treat the warts.
The light from the laser heats up the blood in the tiny vessels inside the wart and destroys the vessels. Without blood, the wart dies and falls off. The laser’s heat may also kill the virus that caused the wart.
The laser may feel like a rubber band snapping against your skin. You won’t feel much pain after the procedure is done. You should heal fully in 2-4 weeks.
A calming solution will be applied after the treatment. The area will be noticeably red after treatment.
The treated wart will fall off within 2-3 weeks.
Depending on the size of the wart, the location and any other medical history, you may need further treatment sessions.
Once removed and the site healed, Most warts leave no sign of their presence on the skin’s surface. Occasionally they may leave a small area of slight discoloration or a tiny scar.
Common side effects of this treatment are typically mild and temporary, including redness, swelling or slight bruising.
