Warts are a common skin condition that can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. These small, rough growths are caused by a viral infection in the top layer of the skin, typically due to the human papillomavirus (HPV). Although warts are generally harmless, they can spread and persist if not treated properly. At Origin Clinic, we offer a range of advanced treatments to effectively remove warts and restore your skin’s health and appearance.
Warts can appear on any part of the body, but they are most commonly found on the hands, feet, and face. They vary in size and appearance, with some being flat and smooth, while others are raised and rough. There are several types of warts, including common warts, plantar warts (found on the soles of the feet), flat warts, and genital warts.
Warts are contagious and can spread through direct contact with the wart or through contact with surfaces that have touched a wart. While some warts may disappear on their own, others require professional treatment to prevent them from spreading or recurring.
At Origin Clinic, we provide comprehensive wart treatment options tailored to your specific needs. Our dermatologists use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure safe and effective removal of warts, minimizing discomfort and reducing the risk of recurrence.
Cryotherapy, also known as freezing therapy, is a common and effective method for removing warts. This treatment involves applying liquid nitrogen to the wart, which freezes and destroys the abnormal tissue.
During the procedure, liquid nitrogen is applied to the wart using a spray or a cotton swab. The extreme cold causes the wart tissue to freeze and blister. Over the next few days, the treated area may scab over and eventually fall off, taking the wart with it. Multiple sessions may be required depending on the size and location of the wart.
After cryotherapy, the treated area may be red, swollen, and slightly painful. These effects typically subside within a few days. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid picking at the scab to ensure proper healing.
Electrosurgery and curettage are combined procedures used to remove warts by burning and scraping them off the skin.
Electrosurgery involves using an electric current to burn the wart tissue. Once the wart is softened, a curette (a small, spoon-shaped instrument) is used to scrape the wart away. This method is particularly effective for larger or more stubborn warts. Local anesthesia is typically used to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
After the procedure, the treated area may be sore and slightly swollen. Proper wound care is essential to prevent infection and promote healing. A scab will form and eventually fall off, revealing smooth skin beneath.
Laser therapy is a precise and advanced treatment option for warts, especially those that are difficult to treat with other methods. This procedure uses focused laser energy to target and destroy the wart tissue.
During the treatment, a laser emits a beam of concentrated light that penetrates the skin and heats the wart tissue. The heat destroys the blood vessels feeding the wart, causing it to shrink and eventually fall off. Laser therapy is particularly effective for warts that are resistant to other treatments or located in sensitive areas.
Recovery from laser therapy is generally quick, with minimal downtime. The treated area may be red and tender for a few days. Following aftercare instructions, such as keeping the area clean and avoiding direct sunlight, is important for optimal healing.
Topical treatments involve the application of medicated creams, gels, or solutions to the wart to gradually break down the wart tissue and encourage its removal.
Common ingredients in topical wart treatments include salicylic acid and other keratolytic agents, which work by softening and peeling away the wart tissue. These treatments are often used for smaller warts or as a follow-up to other procedures. They require consistent application over several weeks to achieve the desired results.
Topical treatments can be applied at home as part of your daily skincare routine. Our dermatologists will provide guidance on the correct usage and frequency of application for the best results.
Immunotherapy is a treatment that stimulates the body’s immune system to fight the virus causing the wart. This approach is often used for warts that are resistant to traditional treatments.
Immunotherapy involves the application of certain substances, such as imiquimod or Candida antigen, to the wart. These substances help boost the immune response, encouraging the body to attack the wart and the virus responsible for it. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired outcome.
The treated area may become inflamed or irritated as the immune system responds to the therapy. These side effects are usually temporary and subside as the treatment progresses.
At Origin Clinic, our priority is to provide safe, effective, and personalized care for every patient. Our experienced dermatologists are skilled in diagnosing and treating all types of warts, using the most advanced and proven methods available. We take a comprehensive approach to ensure that your wart treatment is tailored to your specific needs, minimizing discomfort and reducing the risk of recurrence.
