Wart removal

Warts are among the most common skin problems with which patients turn to dermatologists. They can appear at any age and often represent not only an aesthetic but also a health problem. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we offer modern, gentle and precise methods of their removal with an emphasis on safety, comfort and natural appearance of the skin. The aim of this article is to clearly explain why warts occur, what are the options for their treatment and why it is advisable to entrust their removal to experienced professionals.

What are warts and why do they occur

Warts are benign skin growths caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus penetrates the surface layers of the skin and causes the proliferation of skin cells. It is transmitted by direct contact with an infected person or through shared objects such as towels, shoes or sports equipment. Showers in public areas are also very risky.

They most often occur on the hands, feet, face or in sensitive areas. They can have a different shape - from flat to raised to thread-like. The formation of warts is facilitated by weakened immunity, humid environments (swimming pools, locker rooms), frequent sweating and minor skin injuries.

Although warts are usually painless, they can be unpleasant, itchy, bleed when injured or gradually spread to other places.

 

Types of warts we treat

In practice, we encounter different types of warts, each of which requires an individual approach:

  • Common warts – hard, bumpy formations, most often on the fingers and joints

  • Flat warts – small, smooth, typically on the face, hands and feet

  • Plantar warts – painful warts on the soles of the feet, burdened with walking

Correct recognition of the type of wart is essential for choosing the most appropriate removal method.

Why professional wart removal is better than home treatment

Many people first try to remove warts using over-the-counter products, salicylic acid or home freezing. These procedures can only be effective in simple cases, but often lead to incomplete removal, repeated return of the wart or the formation of scars.

At Hello Beauty Clinic, we use modern and proven methods that minimize the risk of recurrence while maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the skin. Each procedure is preceded by a professional examination, during which the doctor assesses the nature of the formation and excludes its malignant origin - as carefully as when checking moles.

 

Modern methods of wart removal at Hello Beauty Clinic

The choice of a specific method always depends on the type, size and location of the wart, but also on the sensitivity of the given area and the individual needs of the client. Therefore, each procedure is preceded by a professional examination, during which the doctor carefully assesses the nature of the skin formation and suggests the most appropriate procedure. The goal is not only to remove the wart itself, but above all to provide safe treatment with regard to the health of the skin and the effort to preserve its natural appearance.

Of course, there is an individual approach to each client, a clear explanation of the entire procedure and subsequent care. Clients come not only for the removal of warts, but above all for the certainty that their skin will be taken care of professionally, safely and with maximum consideration.

 

Thermocautery

Thermocautery is a modern and very precise method of removing warts using a controlled thermal effect. During the procedure, the affected tissue is treated specifically, which is gently removed without unnecessary intervention in the surrounding healthy skin. This controlled approach allows for high precision of the procedure and at the same time reduces the risk of bleeding and complications.

The procedure is fast and comfortable. The treated area then heals naturally, usually within a few days. Thanks to the precision of thermocautery, this method is suitable for a wide range of warts, including more sensitive areas, where the emphasis is also on the aesthetic result.

 

Cryotherapy – freezing with liquid nitrogen

During cryotherapy, the warts are exposed to extremely low temperatures (-196 °C). The cells gradually die and the growth is separated within a few days. The method is often used especially for plantar warts.

 

Electrocautery

Electrical current is used to precisely remove tissue. The procedure is quick and is especially suitable for smaller formations.

All methods used meet the highest standards of safety and precision.

 

Preparation for the procedure and after-care

Before the procedure itself, you will undergo a consultation, during which the doctor will examine the affected area and suggest the optimal procedure. It is recommended not to use home remedies for wart removal approximately one week before the procedure.

After the treatment, it is important to follow the following recommendations:

  1. Keep the area clean and dry

  2. Apply the prescribed ointment

  3. Protect the skin from sunlight for at least 4 weeks

  4. Monitor the healing process

Most clients can immediately return to normal activities. Complete healing usually occurs within 1-2 weeks. In some cases of larger warts, the treatment must be repeated.

Frequently asked questions about wart removal

 

Is the procedure painful?

Wart removal is generally very well tolerated. Most clients experience only mild, short-term discomfort that quickly subsides. For most people, the procedure is mildly unpleasant rather than painful, and painkillers are usually not necessary, even after treatment.

 

Will warts return after removal?

The risk of recurrence is very low with professional treatment, approximately 10%. The state of your immunity also plays a significant role.

 

Is it possible to remove warts during pregnancy?

Yes, but extremely gentle methods are chosen, always after consulting a doctor.

 

How quickly are the results visible?

With thermocauterization, the effect is usually noticeable immediately, with cryotherapy usually within a few days.

 

Risks and safety

Each procedure is usually associated with a temporary reaction such as redness, slight swelling or increased sensitivity of the treated area. These symptoms are a natural part of the procedure itself and subsequent healing and usually subside on their own within a few days. In very exceptional cases, infection of the treated area may occur, but this is very rare if proper aftercare is followed.

Thanks to the sterile environment, the doctor's professional experience and the use of modern equipment, we are able to significantly minimize all potential risks. Each procedure is performed with maximum consistency, with regard to the client's safety and care for the surrounding healthy tissue. The care also includes detailed instructions for home care, which contribute to smooth and problem-free healing.

On the other hand, we strongly recommend against self-medication, as it can lead not only to burns or mechanical damage to the skin, but also to the further spread of the viral infection and the formation of unsightly scars. Unprofessional interventions often do not solve the problem, but on the contrary prolong and complicate it. Professional removal is the safest way to achieve a permanent and aesthetic result.
