Wart & Verruca Removal at Laser & Skin Belfast: Fast, Targeted & Effective Treatment

Warts and verrucae are common skin concerns caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Although harmless, they can be stubborn, unsightly and sometimes painful — especially on weight-bearing areas like the feet. At Laser & Skin Belfast, we offer safe and effective removal using CryoPen, a highly precise cryotherapy device that freezes and destroys the wart tissue.

Our approach offers a quick, targeted solution with minimal discomfort and downtime.


What Are Warts & Verrucae?

Warts

  • Rough, raised growths

  • Often found on hands, fingers, elbows and knees

  • Caused by HPV entering through tiny breaks in the skin

Verrucae

  • Warts that develop on the soles of the feet

  • Can feel “prickly” or painful when walking

  • Often contain small black dots (tiny blood vessels)

Both are contagious and can spread through skin contact or shared surfaces.


CryoPen Wart & Verruca Removal: How It Works

At Laser & Skin Belfast, we use CryoPen — a precise, medical-grade freezing device that delivers a fine microjet of nitrous oxide directly onto the wart or verruca.

Why CryoPen Works So Well

  • Freezes the wart tissue to extremely low temperatures

  • Destroys the infected cells

  • Leaves surrounding healthy skin largely untouched

  • Encourages the body to shed the treated tissue naturally

This method is particularly effective for small and medium-sized warts and verrucae.


Benefits of CryoPen Removal

  • Fast treatment time

  • Minimal discomfort

  • No cutting, burning or stitching

  • Suitable for hands, feet and most body areas

  • Precise freezing with minimal skin damage

  • Quick return to normal activities

Most clients find the treatment tolerable — a cold, stinging sensation for a few seconds.


What to Expect at Your Appointment

1. Consultation & Assessment

We examine the area to confirm the lesion is a wart or verruca and decide if CryoPen is suitable.

2. Preparation

The area is cleaned and prepared.

3. Freezing Treatment

The CryoPen is applied directly to the lesion for several seconds. Larger or deeper warts may need repeated freeze cycles during the same session.

4. Aftercare & Healing Guidance

You will receive clear aftercare instructions to support the healing process.


Aftercare & Healing

Following treatment, you may notice:

  • Redness

  • Mild swelling

  • A blister or small scab forming

  • Darkening of the area

These are normal and part of the healing process.

We recommend:

  • Keeping the area dry for 24 hours

  • Avoiding picking or rubbing

  • Wearing comfortable footwear if treating a verruca

  • Avoiding saunas, steam rooms and swimming for 48 hours

  • Allowing any blister or scab to shed naturally

Healing usually takes 7–14 days, depending on the size and depth of the wart or verruca.


How Many Sessions Are Needed?

The number of treatments depends on:

  • Size of the lesion

  • Location

  • Depth

  • How long it has been present

Many clients need 1–3 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. Stubborn verrucae may require additional treatments.
