We know how much of a hassle it can be when you suffer from warts.
If they are making you uncomfortable, self-conscious or are just plain resistant to ‘getting gone’, we are proud to provide you with a safe alternative for effective wart removal Stourbridge with our modern approach to cryotherapy.
How they work: The wart is frozen with a focused burst of liquid nitrogen or nitrous oxide, which freezes the wart plus the tissue around the wart.
This destroys the wart tissue and does not harm the surrounding skin.
The treatment is quick, lasting just a few minutes per wart, and you won’t have downtime — you can get back to your day immediately after treatment.
Depending on their size and type, one to two treatments may be required to clear the wart. Our team will be able to walk you through every step of the way, discuss with you aftercare and make you feel at-ease.
Warts are a kind of infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), of which there are many, many kinds, and almost all of us have probably been infected at some point — it enters through breaks in the skin of which we’re not even aware, and once there, infects the more superficial layers of the skin.
There are more than 100 strains of HPV and not all of them will cause warts.
The virus enters through any tiny cut or scratch in the skin, or through anywhere the skin is broken, so hands, feet and other frequently exposed areas (including the face) are particularly vulnerable.
The reason that warts can be so resistent is that HPV has a way of lingering in the skin, and is often hidden from the body’s immune system.
And you can remove the visible wart all you want, but the virus may be hanging out beneath the skin waiting to grow a new one at some point in the future — especially if your immune system is feeling a bit sluggish.
They’re also contagious, so they can be passed from person to person, or even one part of your body to another, through touch, shaving or shared surfaces. That’s why some people feel like their warts never disappear — because they usually won’t unless the underlying problem is addressed.
At Cryosonic we do not just remove the wart that you can see, we offer advice to help prevent the next genertion of warts and long term advice and support that is tailored to your skin and your lifestyle.
Can You Remove a Wart Without Scarring?
Yes — especially when it comes to cryotherapy. As it works only on the wart tissue, not on the normal skin, scarring rarely happens.
Cryosonic is committed to ensuring the treatment is safe and tolerable for the patient while our experienced professionals perform the procedure with precision, giving the patient a pain free and accurate outcome with a predictable skin healing response.
Is Wart Removal Stourbridge Painful?
Treatments for warts using cryotherapy are usually quick and cause mild pain.
For most people, it is sharp and cold, or feels like a mild sting that fades after a few minutes.
The procedure creates mild, temporary discomfort for most patients.
There are plenty of over-the-counter treatments and homeopathic remedies, yes, but still the most effective method of treating away your warts is going in for professional-strength cryotherapy.
How do we treat it at Cryosonic?We target the roots of the wart with our focused freezes, killing the wart in the roots, so to speak, and greatly reducing the likelihood of it returning. Unlike creams and acids that can take weeks (and may not even work at all) to wipe out a wart, cryotherapy zeroes in on the problem at its heart, fast and in a way that’s safe. But removal is just part of the solution.
In order to really prevent warts from coming back, it’s also critical that you:
Do not scratch or pick warts
Keep the area clean and dry
Support your immune system through adequate sleep, nutrition and stress control
Use Footwear in Public Showers or Pools
Avoid sharing towels or razors
By treating and preventing at the same time, we enable our patients to treat warts, once and for all— not just for now.
Yes, it’s totally safe—but it’s crucial that the treatment can be performed by professionals who understand how to treat the sensitive area.
Warts on the face, hands, or feet may be more sensitive because the seen is thinner and there are more nerve endings close to the surface, or because, like the fingers and toes, they are subject to friction.
Here at Cryosonic, we tailor our strategy based on the location. We can pin-point the wart exactly with cryotherapy, so we are treating only the infected area and not so much of the healthy skin surrounding it. You can trust that our team will be safe, clean and gentle in the treatment of any sensitive areas.
We also provide post-care guidance to promote good healing of the skin, and we’ll do post-treatment follow-up as necessary to make sure all goes well. Whether it’s your foot or your face, we’re here to remind you that your skin should feel — and look — better.
Yes, warts can and do spread—and not just to other people, but to different parts of your own body as well. The HPV virus that causes warts is contagious and can be passed through:
Direct skin contact (like touching a wart and then another area of skin)
Shared surfaces (e.g., gym equipment, communal showers, pool areas)
Personal items (towels, razors, socks, shoes)
The virus thrives in warm, moist environments, which is why warts often appear on feet (plantar warts) or hands.
Children and people with weaker immune systems are especially prone to catching them.
If you suspect you’ve spread a wart or see new ones forming, early treatment helps stop the cycle. At Cryosonic, we’re happy to check any suspicious bumps and offer quick, effective treatment before they become a bigger problem.
