WARTS &
VERRUCAS
Have you ever experienced those bothersome little lumps on your skin caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV)? Warts can be quite common, with approximately 1 in 10 people in the UK having dealt with them at some point. Left untreated, warts can persist for years and can be both irritating and embarrassing.
While warts and verrucas aren’t harmful, they can definitely be bothersome and unsightly. Verrucas, in particular, can become painful as they grow inward and bear the weight of our bodies when we stand or walk. Plus, they’re easy to spread to others through close contact or shared surfaces like gym equipment or swimming pool areas.
At Laser Loft our Nd:Yag laser treatment is clinical proven to be more effective than cryotherapy. By targeting the blood supply to the wart or verruca and interfering with the virus’s DNA, we can effectively eliminate these pesky bumps.
FAQs
How does the treatment feel?
It’s not the most comfortable sensation – you’ll likely experience a sharp, hot pinch during the treatment however, it’s over pretty quickly, and you won’t need any numbing cream.
What should I expect after treatment?
After the treatment, your skin might feel a bit tender or tingly, and you might notice the wart or verruca looking frosty or yellowed. It’s normal for a blister or scab to form afterward, and the area might be red or bruised for a week or two. Just remember to take it easy and avoid putting too much pressure or heat on the area for a day or two.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments required varies from person to person. Typically, you’ll need 1 to 4 treatments spaced out every 2 weeks to see the best results. But trust us, it’ll be worth it to finally bid farewell to those pesky warts and verrucas!
