Wart Removal

Warts are common skin growths caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). They develop when the virus infects the top layer of the skin, triggering rapid cell growth. While warts are generally harmless, they can spread, become irritated, and cause discomfort depending on their location.

At Body Perfection Clinic, we remove unwanted warts using advanced CryoPen® cryotherapy — a precise freezing treatment designed to safely destroy the infected tissue with minimal disruption to surrounding skin.

What Does It Treat?

Cryotherapy is effective for:

• Common warts – typically found on the hands, fingers, and around nails
• Flat warts – small, smooth warts that may appear in clusters on the face, neck, or hands
• Stubborn or recurrent warts
• Multiple warts treated in one session

Please note: Genital warts are not treated in clinic.

How Does It Work?

CryoPen® uses controlled bursts of extreme cold (nitrous oxide) to freeze the wart tissue.

The treatment works by:

• Freezing the infected cells
• Causing the blood supply within the wart to constrict and collapse
• Destroying the virus-infected tissue
• Allowing the body to naturally shed the treated area

A small blister or scab typically forms after treatment. As healing progresses, the scab falls away to reveal clearer skin underneath.

For most warts, cryosurgery provides permanent removal. However, some deeper or more resistant warts may require repeat sessions to achieve the best cosmetic outcome while protecting the surrounding skin.

What Results Can You Expect?

Most clients experience:

• Gradual reduction and shrinkage of the wart
• Formation of a small scab or blister
• Natural shedding of the treated tissue
• Clearer, smoother skin once healing completes

Healing usually takes around 1–2 weeks depending on the size and location of the wart.

Follow-up appointments may be required for larger or more stubborn lesions. Please refer to our pricing for follow-up treatments.

What Happens During Treatment?

Your appointment begins with a consultation to assess the wart and confirm suitability.

During the procedure:

• The area is cleansed
• Any thickened surface skin may be gently reduced
• The CryoPen® is applied for a few seconds to freeze the wart
• Multiple warts can be treated in one session

The sensation is usually described as brief cold or mild stinging.

After treatment, the area may appear red or slightly swollen before forming a protective scab.
