Wart & Verruca Laser Treatment
Warts and verruca can be stubborn, uncomfortable, and often resistant to over-the-counter treatments, cryotherapy, and prescription medications. Laser treatment offers a safe, effective solution by targeting the blood supply that feeds the wart, allowing your body’s immune system to recognise and eliminate the virus naturally.
Using the medical-grade LP Nd:YAG laser, concentrated light energy is delivered into the wart tissue. The heat destroys the tiny blood vessels supplying the wart while leaving the surrounding healthy skin largely unaffected. As the blood supply is disrupted, the wart gradually shrinks and disappears over the following weeks.

Why Choose Laser Treatment?

What to Expect
A consultation will be carried out before treatment to confirm that the lesion is suitable for laser therapy.
During treatment, the laser pulses may feel like a sharp elastic band snap or brief hot pinprick sensation. Treatment is typically very quick, often taking just a few minutes depending on the size and number of lesions being treated.
The area may feel warm and tender for a few days afterwards. The wart will gradually dry out and reduce in size as the body clears the virus.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Many warts and Verruca respond within 1–4 treatments, although particularly large, long-standing, or mosaic lesions may require additional sessions. Treatments are usually spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Is Laser Treatment Suitable for Children?
Yes. I am fully insured and trained to treat children aged 13 years and over for wart and verruca removal, with parental consent and attendance throughout the appointment.
