Laser Wart and Verruca Removal in Oxford: How Laser Treatment can Help

Warts and verrucae are small lumps found on the skin. The majority of us will have encountered particularly verrucae at some point in their lives. They are caused by the HPV virus (Human Papilloma Virus)and are harmless but contagious. They can be particularly embarrassing and frustrating if you swim or play sports. Treating them can be lengthy as they can be stubborn and resistant to over-the-counter treatments such as creams. Fortunately, here at Bare UK, we are pleased to provide a quicker, more effective solution: laser removal.

Understanding Warts and Verrucae

Warts and verrucae can be a source of considerable frustration. They can often reappear despite treatment. The virus thrives in warm, moist environments like swimming pools and gym floors, making athletes and swimmers particularly vulnerable.

Why Choose Laser Wart and Verruca Removal?

Traditional wart and verruca treatments can be effective in the short term but aren’t always a lasting solution. At Bare UK, we offer an advanced remedy for removing small warts and verrucae (less than ½ cm) on the hands and feet using the powerful NdYAG laser. This method treats the blood vessels that supply the wart or verruca. With great precision it heats them up and seals them off. This prevents further spread. Here are some more reasons why this kind of wart and verruca removal stands out from the crowd:

Precision and Effectiveness

This precise targeting using our powerful laser ensures the wart or verruca is effectively treated. Unlike creams that may take weeks to show results, laser treatment is a much faster, long-lasting solution.

Minimal Discomfort and Downtime

During the laser treatment, you might experience mild discomfort, often described as a hot pinching sensation. To alleviate this, we use a high-tech cooling device that helps to take some of the sting away, making the procedure more comfortable. Post-treatment, the treated area may feel slightly tight and sting for a day or two but the good news is that there is no significant downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities almost immediately.

What to Expect Post-Treatment

Immediately after the treatment, the area might discolour and gradually turn black over the next few days. This is a normal part of the healing process. In some cases, multiple sessions (3-4) spaced three weeks apart might be necessary to completely remove the wart or verruca. Over the next 4-6 weeks, the treated wart or verruca should drop off naturally. If a small dot of discolouration remains, it is advisable to undergo a retreatment to ensure complete removal.
