Removal of warts on hands

About the procedure

As a rule, common and around-the-nail warts, as well as senile keratomas, appear on the hands. In addition to the human papillomavirus, their formation can be triggered by various factors: heredity, chronic stress, hormonal changes, increased sweating of the hands.
It will be a big mistake to remove warts at home without any control and recommendations of a specialist. Among the most popular folk ways of removing a wart on the hands can be named: tying with a thread, cauterization with celandine, or some kind of juice, vinegar. we strongly do not recommend influencing the wart with improvised means, because:

even if you are lucky and everything goes well, without consequences (which is very rare), a scar will remain;
it is unlikely that it will be possible to remove the wart completely (its base can grow into the deep layers of the skin) and it will grow again;
if warts appear due to the presence of the human papillomavirus, wait for their reproduction in the areas around the removed neoplasm.

How is the procedure performed?

Removal of warts on the hands with the help of a laser is a safe and effective way to eliminate new neoplasms, after exposure to the laser, the growths are completely destroyed, leaving no scars. The effect is carried out by a laser beam with a wavelength of 1500 nm. Thanks to the precise focusing of the beam, healthy tissues are not injured, which accelerates wound healing. It is also important that during laser removal, the laser fuses blood vessels, which prevents bleeding, both during the procedure and after it. Immediately after removal, a hardened crust forms, which will fall off by itself within 7-10 days.
