Warts are common, harmless skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), but they can be unsightly and uncomfortable. At Cura Health Belfast, our wart cryotherapy service provides a safe and effective solution to remove warts and restore your skin’s health.
What is Cryotherapy for Warts?
Cryotherapy is a medical procedure that uses extreme cold, typically liquid nitrogen, to freeze and destroy abnormal skin tissue. This treatment works by targeting the wart’s tissue, which dies and eventually falls off, allowing healthy skin to replace it.
What to Expect During Wart Cryotherapy at Cura Health Belfast
At Cura Health, we follow a professional and patient-focused process:
Consultation: We assess your wart to ensure cryotherapy is the best treatment option for you.
Preparation: The area is cleaned, and in some cases, the surface of the wart may be pared down to enhance treatment.
Application: Liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the wart using a spray or applicator, freezing the tissue.
Aftercare: Our team provides clear instructions to care for the treated area and promote healing.
Frequently Asked Questions About Warts and Cryotherapy
How Long Does It Take for a Wart to Go Away After Cryotherapy?
After cryotherapy, a blister forms within a few hours. The wart usually falls off within a week. In some cases, multiple sessions may be required.
Is Cryotherapy Painful?
Cryotherapy may cause mild discomfort, described as a stinging or burning sensation. The treated area may feel tender for a few days post-treatment.
Are There Side Effects of Cryotherapy?
Common side effects include redness, swelling, or blistering. In some cases, skin lightening (hypopigmentation) or darkening (hyperpigmentation) may occur, particularly for those with darker skin tones.
Can Cryotherapy Treat All Types of Warts?
Cryotherapy is effective for most common warts, such as those on the hands and feet. However, it is not usually recommended for warts in sensitive areas, like the face or genitals.
