Wart Removal

Following these aftercare instructions will help promote proper healing, reduce the risk of complications and achieve the best possible results from your Wart Removal treatment. What to Expect Following treatment, it is normal to experience: Mild redness around the treated area. Slight swelling. Mild tenderness or discomfort. Formation of a small scab or crust over the treated wart. The treated area will gradually heal over the following 1–3 weeks, depending on the size and location of the wart. If more than one treatment is required, your practitioner will advise you at your follow-up appointment. Immediately After Treatment Keep the treated area clean and dry. Follow any aftercare advice provided by your practitioner. If a dressing has been applied, leave it in place for as long as advised. Avoid touching, rubbing or scratching the treated area. First 24–48 Hours Avoid soaking the treated area in baths, hot tubs or swimming pools. Avoid activities that may cause excessive friction or pressure on the treated area. Do not apply over-the-counter wart treatments unless advised by your practitioner. Keep the treated area clean and protected if necessary. First 1–3 Weeks Do not pick or remove any scab or crust. Allow it to fall away naturally to reduce the risk of infection and scarring. Keep the area clean and dry. Change any dressings as advised by your practitioner. Avoid shaving directly over the treated area until it has fully healed. If the wart was on the hands or feet, avoid sharing towels and keep the area covered if advised to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Maintaining Your Results Successful treatment removes the treated wart, but the virus that causes warts can be contracted again. To help reduce the risk of recurrence: Maintain good hand and skin hygiene. Avoid picking at existing or healing warts. Avoid sharing towels, razors or personal items. Attend any recommended follow-up appointments if further treatment is required. When to Contact the Clinic Please contact Body Perfection Clinic if you experience: Severe or worsening pain.

If you decide to proceed with treatment, we'll recommend the most suitable consultation option based on your individual needs, medical history and the type of lesion being treated.

A consultation is an essential part of your Wart Removal treatment and is required before your first appointment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your wart, discuss your concerns and determine whether removal is the most appropriate treatment. We will review your: Medical history and current medications. General health and any conditions that may affect healing, such as diabetes or a weakened immune system. Previous wart treatments and their outcomes. The size, location and appearance of the wart. Treatment goals and expectations. Your practitioner will carefully examine the lesion to confirm that it is consistent with a wart and suitable for cosmetic removal. If there is any uncertainty regarding the diagnosis, or if the lesion has unusual features, you may be advised to seek further assessment from your GP or an appropriate healthcare professional before treatment. Your practitioner will explain how the wart removal treatment works, discuss the expected results, outline any potential risks and answer any questions you may have. This ensures the treatment is safe, appropriate and tailored to your individual needs. During your consultation, photographs may be taken (with your consent) to monitor your progress throughout your treatment course. For your appointment, we recommend arriving with clean skin, free from creams, lotions or medicated wart treatments on the day of your consultation. Please inform your practitioner if you have diabetes, poor circulation, a weakened immune system, are taking blood-thinning medication, or have any allergies or medical conditions that may affect treatment or healing. Every client is different, which is why we create a personalised treatment plan based on the size, type and location of your wart. Whether you have a common wart, plantar wart (verruca) or multiple warts, your treatment will be tailored to provide safe, effective removal while helping to minimise discomfort and reduce the risk of recurrence.

For your Wart Removal appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. If the wart is located on the hands, feet, arms or legs, wear clothing that can be easily adjusted or rolled up to ensure your appointment is as comfortable as possible. Please wear comfortable footwear if the wart is located on the foot. Open-toed shoes, sliders or loose-fitting trainers are ideal, particularly if the area may feel tender after treatment. Avoid applying moisturisers, creams or fake tan to the treatment area before your appointment where possible. Depending on the treatment method used, the area may feel slightly sensitive afterwards, so loose clothing and minimal friction are recommended to support healing. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority, and disposable towels and gowns are available when required. Following treatment, keeping the area clean, dry and protected will help promote optimal healing and results.

No. The black dots are tiny blood vessels within the wart and should not be picked or removed.

Some warts can be surprisingly stubborn. The body's immune system responds differently in each person, which is why some warts disappear quickly while others persist.

Removing a wart does not cause more to grow. However, because warts are caused by a virus, new warts can sometimes develop if the virus remains present in the skin.

Definitely not. Attempting to remove a wart yourself can cause pain, bleeding, infection and scarring, and may even spread the virus to surrounding skin.

No. Warts don't have roots. The small black dots often seen within a wart are tiny blood vessels, which are commonly mistaken for roots.

Despite the old myth, no! Warts are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), not frogs or toads.

Before Wart Removal, ensure the skin is clean and free from creams, oils or lotions in the treatment area. Your practitioner will examine the wart and explain the treatment process before beginning.

Wart Removal can be performed on many areas of the body including the hands, fingers, face, arms and knees. Your practitioner will assess the wart and the surrounding skin during consultation.

Warts can sometimes extend deeper into the skin and may require multiple Wart Removal treatments to completely destroy the virus-affected tissue. Repeat sessions help ensure the wart is fully treated while protecting the surrounding skin.

If additional Wart Removal sessions are required, they are usually spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to heal between treatments. Your practitioner will recommend the appropriate schedule.

Some warts can be successfully treated in a single Wart Removal session. However, deeper or stubborn warts may require additional treatments. Your practitioner will assess the wart and advise the most suitable treatment plan

Wart Removal aims to destroy the infected tissue so the wart gradually shrinks and disappears as the skin heals. A small blister or scab may form after treatment before the area clears and new healthy skin replaces the treated tissue.

Wart Removal may cause a brief cold or stinging sensation during treatment as the wart is frozen. Some clients may also feel mild tenderness in the area afterwards. The procedure is quick and generally well tolerated.
