For the removal of:

This procedure is self-anesthetising, with no needle required.

How can my wart be removed?

Warts can be removed in a number of ways. One way is called cryosurgery (freezing the wart). This 2-step process removes the wart without hurting the skin around it. A probe-like tool is use to treat the affected areas. A very cold gas similar to liquid nitrogen is pumped through the probe. This causes a localized area of "frost bite" killing the frozen cells.

What happens next?

After 2 days the wart will probably blister, then scab or mummify and may even drop off. In most cases the hard dead skin needs to be scraped off, and repeat a blast of cryosurgery a week or two later to freeze the base (root) of the wart. 

What are the benefits of cryosurgery?

Cryosurgery is very effective and is less expensive than other treatments. It can be done in your health care provider's office and anesthesia is not necessary.
