| Wart Treatment |
General Information |
Warts are caused by viruses that the body does not attack and destroy
before it gets into our own skin cells. Once there, it cannot be detected
and therefore causes skin to proliferate at a faster rate than the
normal surrounding skin. These growths then shed virus to other areas
of skin and other people. |
For those who wish to avoid using acid patches, frostbite caused by
liquid nitrogen or the pain of having the warts surgically removed,
see if you can be treated with our PULSED-DYE LASER that shuts off
the blood supply to these growths making them fall off like scabs
(and die). There are no needles, cutting, and no disability. Come
see if you may be a candidate for this procedure. |
We also use a prescription cream called ALDARA that stimulates the
immune system to attack the wart virus it has ignored. Again, with
this option, there is no need for needles, cutting, and no disability.
Come see if you may be a candidate for this procedure. |
Pulsed Dye Laser
|
|
|
|
The pulsed dye laser is a phenomenal treatment option for warts that
just don’t respond to conventional care. It utilizes laser “energy”
to close blood vessels that “feed” warts to make them
grow. By shutting down the blood supply, the tissue falls off like
a scab after several treatments. |
No needles are necessary for this treatment. You walk in and walk
out. There is no need to apply any medication after treatment. Although
there can be some discomfort during treatment, there is no disability
afterwards. Accordingly, there is no time off from work and athletes
may continue to work out. |
Call to see if this laser will help to get rid of your stubborn warts.
