Wart and verruca removal treatment at Harley Skin & Laser Clinic in Staffordshire is carried out using our CryoPen™ device. It uses extreme cold, or cryotherapy, to painlessly and safely remove a wide range of skin imperfections.

What Device Do We Use?

CryoPen uses a technology referred to as cryotherapy – ‘cryo’ meaning “cold”. This involves the use of a high pressure jet of nitrous oxide – N2O, (the source of the cold energy), which is directed at the specific lesion being treated, to within a millimetre accuracy.

It is one of the leading lesion treatment devices available on the market to cosmetic practitioners. The practitioner simply points the CryoPen applicator tip directly at the lesion and applies the cryotherapy. The jet of cold energy treats any abnormal tissue without interfering with or damaging normal tissue in a matter of seconds.

What Is A Verruca?

Verrucas are warts on the toes or soles of your feet, often quite flat with black dots in the centre and caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). These black dots are where the blood has clotted in tiny blood vessels on the surface of your skin.

They can be contagious and are very common in children, teens, young adults and those who use communal changing areas. Verrucas spread by direct skin to skin contact or indirect contact with contaminated surfaces such as swimming pools, bathrooms and changing rooms.

What Is A Wart?

Warts are often round, raised, and firm with a rough surface, almost like cauliflower. The virus triggers extra cell growth which makes the outer layer of skin thick and hard in the infected spot, taking as long as 6 months to develop on your skin.

Common warts are most likely found on the hands or fingers and are also caused by the HPV virus.

As we are based in the heart of Staffordshire, we are in an ideal location for clients travelling from across the country including Stoke-On-Trent and Newcastle-Under-Lyme.

Our Step By Step Guide To Treatments

Step 1:
Consultation

The first step of any wart and verruca removal treatment begins with a consultation, allowing you to meet with our aestheticians to discuss your area of concern. You will be advised how treatment works, the cost and what to expect during treatment and post treatment. Your suitability will be assessed and honest advice will be offered.

Step 2:
During Your Treatment

Our verruca and wart removal device is held as close as possible to the wart or verruca and moved quickly towards and away from it. This could be from 5-30 seconds, depending on the size and depth.

Step 3:
After The Treatment

After the treatment you may notice the area looks red or darker. You may get some itching and crusting of the lesion and on some occasions small blisters may form. Over a period of 1-2 weeks any crusts should fall off, blisters will heal leaving healthy pink skin which will begin to heal over the next 4 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

The wart or verruca is frozen by cryotherapy which kills the localised cells in the area which cause them to shrivel and die. The treated area may go darker over a few weeks, but it will return to normal pigmented skin in about 6 weeks.

Some pain will be experienced during the treatment which will feel like a ballpoint is being pushed into the skin. If you are uncomfortable with the amount of pain experienced, the treatment will stop.

A follow-up visit is recommended after 2 to 4 weeks to confirm that all pathological tissue has disappeared or if a follow-up treatment is necessary. Minor residual stinging may occur for a few minutes after treatment. Occasionally, a blister may also form and will last for a few hours.

The duration of the treatment time will depend on the surface area and the thickness of the tissue being treated. Upon the clinical evaluation of the depth of the area, our skin therapists will choose an application time from 5 to 30 seconds.

There will be a pain sensation similar to a stinging nettle on the skin when the nitrous oxide reaches the bottom of the area. There might be a little residual stinging for a few minutes after treatment.

Cryotherapy is a relatively low-risk procedure. Cryopen ™ delivers N20 directly to the area, and not the healthy surrounding tissue. CryoPen ™ is both CE and FDA registered.
