Safe and Effective Treatment of Warts/Verrucae in Flintshire, North Wales

(Clinic located in Bank Beauty Hawarden)

There are many different types of warts and some of which would not be suitable for cryotherapy or advanced electrolysis. Those that can be effectively and safely treated by the different methods are listed below. There are differences in how they look and where they are normally found on your body. Warts, though generally painless, can affect anyone, causing discomfort and embarrassment. Warts are generally found on hands, face, neck and feet, and can vary in appearance.

If you are looking for a quick and effective solution in the Flintshire area of North Wales, Cryotherapy using nitrous oxide is a safe and proven method to treat warts and verrucae, without cutting or burning the skin. Advanced Electrolysis is also a suitable treatment for Common and Filiform warts.

Cryotherapy is an advanced treatment that is not only faster than other methods but also minimises the risk of scarring. As warts and verrucae are a viral skin infection some will require two treatment sessions here at our clinic within Bank Beauty in North Wales. The procedure is designed for your comfort, with only a slight stinging sensation during treatment. It is very common for a blister to form following treatment but this will not affect the effectiveness of this treatment.

If you have multiple warts/verrucae the largest is treated first in one simple consultation, with a follow up generally required 4-weeks later. In the majority of cases, this kills the virus and any other warts will disappear by themselves over a 6-week period.

During your initial consultation you will be provided with a personalised treatment plan with an estimated cost.

Advanced electrolysis is also a safe and effective way to remove warts, which uses an electric current through a very fine needle inserted directly into the wart surface softening the skin, which is then removed. The skin will appear smoother immediately but there will be a small open wound in place of the wart, a waterproof dressing will be applied which should remain in place for 2-3 days. A scab will form which should be left to come away of its own accord. A follow up treatment may be required to fully destroy the virus.

Local anaesthetic will be injected or applied, subject to suitability, therefore the treatment will be painless.

As with any cut or wound, there is a low risk of scarring, especially if the wound becomes infected or the scab is picked. The area will remain red until completely healed, as with any other surgical wound or cut/graze. Some aftercare restrictions apply due to open wound being present.

During your initial consultation you will be provided with a personalised treatment plan with an estimated cost.

Plantar Wart/Verruca

Verrucas are warts on the soles of your feet. They may have tiny black dots in the centre – these are blood clots that have formed in tiny blood vessels. They may be painful, especially when you put weight on them. Sometimes, if you have clusters of verrucas, they can fuse together. These are called mosaic warts.

Filiform Wart

Filiform warts look different than most warts. They have long, narrow projections that extend about 1 to 2 millimetres from the skin. They can be yellow, brown, pink, or skin-toned, and don’t generally form in clusters. They are most commonly found on your face or neck.
