What is Verrucas (Plantar Warts)?

Verrucas are caused by the Human Papilloma virus (HPV), which enters the skin through cuts or abrasions. Certain strains of HPV are responsible for verruca formation, particularly on the soles of the feet. Verrucas are contagious and can spread from person to person through direct contact or indirectly through contaminated surfaces.

Several factors increase the risk of contracting the HPV virus and developing verrucas. These include: walking barefoot in public areas, having a weakened immune system, and prolonged moisture or friction on the skin. By addressing these factors and adopting proper hygiene practices, you can minimize the risk of contracting the HPV virus and developing verrucas.

Latest & Most Effective Signature Laser Verruca Removal

LASER VERRUCA REMOVAL: Walk Comfortably Again

Struggling with painful verrucas (plantar warts) on your feet? Harley Street Medics in Glasgow offers targeted laser verruca removal for effective and lasting relief. Our advanced laser technology precisely targets the verruca, destroying it from within while minimizing damage to surrounding skin, allowing you to get back on your feet quickly.

  • Pinpoint Accuracy: Ideal for treating verrucas, even those in sensitive or hard-to-reach areas of the foot.
  • Faster Healing: Experience a quicker healing time compared to traditional methods, getting you back to your daily activities sooner.
  • Reduced Scarring: Minimize the risk of scarring on the soles of your feet.
  • Effective for Stubborn Verrucas: Laser treatment can be highly effective even for verrucas that haven’t responded to other treatments.

LASER VERRUCA PREVENTION THERAPY: Step Towards Lasting Relief

Don’t let verrucas keep coming back! Our innovative Laser Verruca Prevention Therapy goes beyond simply removing the current wart. This advanced treatment, available at Harley Street Medics in Glasgow, targets the underlying viral cause of verrucas, disrupting its activity and providing long-term protection to help prevent future outbreaks.

Other Effective Verruca Treatment Options

Freeze Away Warts for Smoother Skin

This widely used and effective procedure utilizes the extreme cold of liquid nitrogen to target and eliminate warts. At Harley Street Medics, our skilled practitioners apply liquid nitrogen precisely to the wart, freezing the affected cells. This process disrupts the wart’s structure, causing it to die off naturally.

Benefits of Cryotherapy:

  • Fast and Convenient: Each treatment session is typically short.
  • Effective for Many Wart Types: Cryotherapy is suitable for common warts on hands, feet, and other areas.
  • Relatively Affordable: It’s often a cost-effective wart removal option.
  • Minimal Downtime: Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Precisely Burn Away Warts for Effective Removal

Electrocautery is a precise medical procedure used to effectively remove warts by applying a controlled electrical current to the targeted tissue. At Harley Street Medics, our experienced medical professionals use specialized equipment to deliver a small electrical current directly to the wart. This heat effectively destroys the wart tissue, allowing for its removal.

How it Works:

  • Targeted Heat: The electrical current generates heat that precisely cauterizes (burns) the wart tissue.
  • Controlled Depth: Our practitioners carefully control the depth and intensity of the current to ensure effective removal while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy skin.
  • Immediate Removal: In many cases, the wart can be removed immediately during the procedure.

Benefits of Electrocautery:

  • Effective Wart Removal: Electrocautery is a reliable method for removing various types of warts.
  • Precise Targeting: The electrical current can be precisely directed to the wart, minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
  • Suitable for Certain Locations: Electrocautery can be effective for warts in locations where other methods might be challenging.

Considerations:

  • Potential for Scarring: While generally minimal, there is a slight risk of scarring with electrocautery. Our clinicians will take precautions to minimize this risk.
  • May Require Multiple Visits: For complete removal, especially for larger warts, you may need to schedule more than one appointment.
 

Permanently Removing Stubborn Warts in a Single Session

When other wart removal methods have proven unsuccessful or for certain types of warts, surgical excision offers a definitive solution for permanent removal. At Harley Street Medics, our experienced surgeons can surgically remove warts using a sterile scalpel. This method ensures the complete removal of the wart tissue, including its root.

The Surgical Process:

  • Thorough Examination: Before the procedure, our surgeon will thoroughly examine the wart to determine if surgical excision is the most appropriate option.
  • Local Anesthesia: The treatment area will be numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure you experience no pain during the procedure.
  • Precise Removal: Using a sterile scalpel, the surgeon will carefully cut out the wart, ensuring all affected tissue is removed.
  • Closure: Depending on the size and location of the wart, the wound may be closed with stitches.
  • Biopsy (Optional): In some cases, the removed wart tissue may be sent for a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

Benefits of Surgical Excision:

  • Permanent Removal: Surgical excision offers a high likelihood of completely removing the wart in a single session.
  • Effective for Resistant Warts: It’s a good option for warts that haven’t responded to other treatments.
  • Suitable for Certain Types: Surgical excision may be the preferred method for specific types of warts.

Important Considerations:

  • Not Suitable for Genital or Most Facial Warts: Due to the risk of scarring, surgical excision is generally not recommended for genital warts or most facial warts.
  • Scarring is Expected: Be aware that surgical excision will result in a scar.

Molluscum contagiosum typically presents as small, raised, flesh-colored bumps with a dimple in the center. If you notice these bumps, particularly in clusters, consult a medical professional.

While some topical medications can be used, laser treatment offers a more targeted approach to removing the bumps directly and preventing spread. Our Glasgow clinic offers advanced laser treatments for molluscum.

Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a harmless skin condition causing small, rough bumps, often on the arms and thighs. While there’s no cure, various treatments can manage the symptoms.

KP is often genetic, caused by a buildup of keratin in hair follicles. While it can sometimes improve with age, it’s often a chronic condition.

Topical creams and exfoliants are often recommended, but laser treatment can provide more noticeable and long-lasting results. We offer cutting-edge laser treatment for keratosis pilaris in Glasgow.
