What causes them?

Warts and verrucas are caused by a viral infection in the skin, the virus is called human papilloma.

This virus gets in to the skin through small cuts or minor abrasion, particularly if the skin is warm and moist.

The virus that causes verrucas can be easily picked up in changing rooms and around swimming pools.

Laser removal –

A highly targeted beam of laser light is aimed at the wart or verruca. The energy from the laser heats up the blood vessels feeding the problem area, which collapse in on themselves as a result and stop the blood supply. This starves the wart or verruca of nutrients so it naturally falls off after a few weeks. The procedure usually only takes a few minutes. There is minimal discomfort during the treatment.

The healthy skin around your wart or verruca won’t be damaged.
