Warts, Verrucas & Mole Removal
Laser Wart, Verrucae and Mole Removal
Incredibly common, both warts and verrucae are an unsightly and embarrassing problem but there is a cure for warts as they can be easily treated by undergoing laser wart removal by our expert practitioners. There is no need to seek out a separate wart removal clinic as this is a popular treatment offered here in Thorpe bay alongside our other aesthetic options.
Warts are small lumps, or growths caused by a virus infection most commonly the Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV as it is often known. A Verruca is simply a wart that grows on the sole of your foot.
Typically appearing on the hands, feet or toes, they have either a cauliflower appearance or may be seen as a solid blister. They can develop in one place or multiple locations. It may appear as a solitary growth, or as a cluster formation known as a ‘mosaic’ and will consist of hundreds of individual verrucae. Size ranges from 1mm in diameter upwards.
Warts are contagious and can be transferred by touch so care must be taken to minimise this where possible. We see many clients suffering from this condition and recommend prompt laser verrucae removal to prevent the spread to other family members.
Our experienced team will offer advice at the time of your treatment on ways to prevent further outbreaks or transference as both verrucae and warts can disappear by themselves over time but reinfections are common and there is no way of knowing how long you will be affected if treatment is not sought.

Treatment Summary
The 1064nm laser is the most successful form of wart treatment available today. Using the Nd:YAG Fotona laser we can destroy the verruca, or wart, cells by targeting their blood supply with directed heat. In many cases this has been proven to destroy the original virus. The laser wart removal healing time is usually between two to four weeks.
