Types of Warts We Commonly Treat
Different wart types respond differently to treatment. Correct identification helps ensure effective removal.
We commonly treat:
- Common warts on hands and fingers
- Plantar warts on the soles of the feet
- Flat warts on the face or legs
- Periungual warts around nails
- Multiple clustered or mosaic warts
Laser treatment is especially effective when multiple warts are present or where repeated treatments have failed.
What to Expect During the Treatment
Laser wart removal is a quick in‑clinic procedure designed for patient comfort.
During treatment:
- The area is cleaned and prepared
- Local anaesthetic may be used if required
- Laser energy is applied directly to the wart
- The procedure typically takes only a few minutes
After the session, the treated area forms a small scab that heals naturally over the following days or weeks.
Recovery and Aftercare
After laser wart removal, proper aftercare helps promote healing and reduce recurrence.
Post‑treatment care usually involves:
- Keeping the area clean and dry
- Avoiding picking or scratching the treated skin
- Wearing protective footwear for plantar warts
- Monitoring healing as advised
Most patients experience little disruption to daily activities, with minimal downtime.
