Warts are common skin growths that can cause distress, but with advanced treatments like electrolysis, these issues can be easily managed.
At our clinic, we specialize in using Thermolysis for fast and effective wart removal.
What Causes Warts?
Warts are small growths on the skin caused by the Human papillomavirus (HPV). These growths can appear anywhere on the body and are contagious, spreading through direct contact.
Common types of warts include:
- Common Warts: Typically found on the hands, they are firm, raised, and often itchy.
- Plane Warts: Flat warts usually occurring in visible areas like the back of the hands, wrists, or face.
- Verrucas: These plantar warts occur on the feet and are particularly persistent, causing discomfort while walking.
- Seborrhoeic Keratosis: Unlike other warts, this condition is not caused by a virus and is not contagious. It typically appears with aging or excessive sun exposure and has a dry, pigmented texture.
These conditions can affect both men and women, and often cause embarrassment and discomfort. While warts are more commonly caused by viral infections, seborrhoeic keratosis is linked to genetics and sun exposure.
How Does Electrolysis Treatment Work for Wart Removal?
Electrolysis, specifically Thermolysis, is a proven technique for removing warts and seborrhoeic keratosis. The process involves using a small probe to introduce a current into the wart area, effectively treating it with heat. Here’s how the process works:
- Pre-Treatment Preparation: It’s essential to avoid using any over-the-counter wart treatments at least two weeks before the procedure to reduce the chance of skin sensitivity.
- The Procedure: A tiny probe is gently placed on the wart or affected area, where the Thermolysis current will be applied. Most patients report only mild discomfort, often described as warmth or slight tingling. Treatment for one wart generally takes around 15 minutes.
- Aftercare: After the procedure, the area may feel warm and develop scabs, which should be left to fall off naturally within 14 days. We will provide you with a specially-formulated gel to speed up the healing process and soothe the skin. Most individuals experience full recovery within a month, though follow-up treatment may be necessary, typically one month after the initial session.
How is Seborrhoeic Keratosis Treated?
Seborrhoeic Keratosis is a different form of skin growth that, unlike typical warts, is not caused by a virus. This type of growth is typically associated with aging and excessive sun exposure. Here’s how it’s treated using Thermolysis:
- Treatment Process: The area affected by seborrhoeic keratosis is treated with a small probe that directs the Thermolysis current to the growth. The heat removes the blemish while also cauterizing the treated area, helping to prevent further irritation.
- Healing Process: Similar to wart treatment, seborrhoeic keratosis removal requires post-treatment care. Scabbing will form and should be left to heal on its own. Full recovery takes around two weeks.
Thermolysis for Seborrhoeic Keratosis is highly effective, even when the affected area is large. Most treatments take between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the growth.
Can Warts Be Treated in Different Areas of the Body?
Warts and seborrhoeic keratosis can appear on various parts of the body, each requiring specialized treatment:
- Common Warts: These are commonly found on the hands but can appear anywhere on the body.
- Plane Warts: Typically occur in visible areas like the face, wrists, or hands.
- Seborrhoeic Keratosis: While it often affects the face, it can also occur on the neck, chest, back, and other areas.
- Verrucas: These are most often found on the feet and can cause pain during walking.
