Warts are small, benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on various parts of your body, such as hands, feet, and face. Although usually harmless, warts can be cosmetically bothersome or even cause pain, especially when located on pressure points like the soles of the feet.
Warts develop due to a viral infection of the skin, caused by HPV. This virus penetrates the skin through minor damage or wounds, leading to an excessive growth of skin cells that ultimately forms a wart. They are contagious and can be transmitted through direct skin contact or via contaminated surfaces, such as towels or swimming pool floors.
Wart treatment is suitable for anyone bothered by cosmetically undesirable or painful warts. Especially if the warts are located in uncomfortable areas, such as the soles of the feet or hands, treatment may be necessary. Furthermore, if the warts spread rapidly or do not disappear with home remedies, professional treatment is advisable.

Coagulation involves heating tissue to remove benign skin growths.
For the removal of warts, we use monochloroacetic acid. This causes the wart to die off and detach. It is a fast and effective treatment, especially for stubborn warts.
A few days after the treatment, a scab forms on the site of the treated wart. This scab falls off, and the wart is then removed.
A treatment for wart removal is available from €49.
Most wart treatments are well-tolerated. With cryotherapy, you may experience a brief cold or tingling sensation, while surgical removal uses a local anesthetic to prevent pain.
In most cases, warts disappear after treatment and do not return. However, it is possible for new warts to develop. Good hygiene and skin care can help prevent re-infection.
This depends on the size, location, and type of wart. Some warts disappear after one treatment, while others may require multiple sessions, especially for stubborn or deep-rooted warts.
