Wart Treatment (Verruca)
Medical Wart Removal & Treatment
Warts are benign skin growths caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Because they are viral, they are contagious and can spread to other parts of your body or to other people. Home remedies are often ineffective and can damage healthy tissue. We use medical-grade methods to destroy the wart tissue and the virus within it. Common treatments include Cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen), Electrocautery (burning), or Laser therapy. The goal is to remove the lesion quickly with minimal scarring.
