Laser Therapy for Warts and Verrucae

Warts and Verrucae are caused by a virus called Human Papilloma (HPV).  When you contract the virus on your hands and face, a small “cauliflower like” growth appears, known as a wart. When the virus breaks out on the sole of your foot, the pressure on the sole of your foot from daily activities does not allow the virus to grow outwards so gets pushed back into the skin becoming a verrucae.

Whilst the success rate of this treatment is very high, it is not 100% as some warts fail to respond despite our best efforts.
Research has shown that the laser also kills the HPV virus whereas typical treatments of chemical therapy and cryotherapy destroy the wart or verrucae but leave traces of the virus behind.

There is a consultation fee of £50 with Dr Patel, which is refundable against the cost of the treatment.
