Wart Removal
Safe, effective removal of common and plantar warts
Warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) can be stubborn and spread if left untreated. Our dermatologists offer cryotherapy, laser ablation and electrocautery — selected based on wart type, location and patient preference.
Over-the-counter treatments often fail to clear persistent warts, particularly on the hands and feet. Professional cryotherapy or laser removal achieves clearance in fewer sessions with precise targeting, minimising damage to surrounding skin.
Key Benefits
- Fast clearance in as few as 1–2 sessions
- Multiple removal methods available for all wart types
- Minimises risk of spreading to other areas
- Dermatologist-performed for accurate diagnosis before removal
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Patients with warts that have not responded to over-the-counter treatments
- Those with multiple or spreading warts
- Anyone with plantar warts causing pain when walking
What to Expect
Assessment & Diagnosis
Wart type, number and distribution are confirmed by the dermatologist.
Method Selection
Cryotherapy, laser or electrocautery is selected based on wart type and location.
Treatment
The selected removal method is performed under topical or local anaesthesia as appropriate.
Review
Follow-up is arranged to assess clearance and treat any residual lesions.
Recovery & Aftercare
Mild soreness and a small blister for 5–10 days after cryotherapy; laser and electrocautery sites heal within 1–2 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions are needed?
Stubborn warts often require 2–4 cryotherapy sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart; laser or electrocautery may achieve clearance in a single session.
Can warts come back after removal?
The HPV virus can persist in the skin, so recurrence is possible — however, most patients maintain clearance after a complete course of treatment.
