LASER THERAPY FOR PLANTAR WARTS

Plantar Warts are often a challenging condition to treat. They are a manifestation of a virus that does not respond to any oral medication. The typical over-the-counter treatments available are very slow and often are not effective at all.

Although we use multiple treatment options for warts, the most popular is the pulse-dye laser. This laser sends impulses of energy to treat the wart and shut down the blood flow supplying it. Although you would feel some discomfort during the treatment, the treatment lasts less than 5 minutes and in many cases under 1 minute. The discomfort usually dissipates quickly with no residual pain, making it the treatment of choice for children.
