Wart treatment
Warts are the common name for viral warts. This persistent problem very often appears on the hands and feet.
Lesions can come back despite earlier treatment, so we match the method to the location, the size and whatever therapies have already been tried.
Innovations
Innovations in wart treatment at De Cute Clinic
- Photodynamic therapyis recommended in particular for persistent lesions, where previously used methods have produced no effect.
- Combined techniques - cryotherapy with simultaneous curettageallows the keratinised layer to be removed and the liquid nitrogen to penetrate better, so that the procedure works.
- Laser reduction of lesionsin treating warts, choosing the right laser technology matters a great deal. An ordinary CO2 laser can, because of the plume released during the procedure (which contains the papillomavirus), infect previously healthy skin even with an extraction system in use. For that reason De Cute Clinic uses an Nd:YAG laser, whose use never carries that risk.

Why De Cute?
- A dermatologist chooses the method after assessing the lesion - location, size and previous treatment decide which technique has the best chance.
- Photodynamic therapy, cryotherapy with curettage and the Nd:YAG laser are all done in one clinic, so changing method does not mean changing practice.
- Lesions resistant to earlier treatment are assessed individually rather than by repeating a technique that has already failed.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are viral warts?
Warts are skin lesions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). They appear most often on the hands and feet, where small breaks in the epidermis easily let the virus in.
Why does De Cute not remove warts with a CO2 laser?
A CO2 laser produces plume containing papillomavirus during the procedure. Even with extraction in place it can seed previously healthy skin. We therefore use an Nd:YAG laser, which never carries that risk.
Do warts come back after removal?
Recurrence is possible, because the virus can remain in the surrounding skin even after the visible lesion is removed. The risk falls when the method is matched to the specific lesion and the planned series is completed rather than stopped after the first improvement.
How many treatments does wart removal take?
It depends on the method, the location and the size of the lesion. Cryotherapy usually requires several sessions 2–3 weeks apart, typically more for lesions on the feet than on the hands. The doctor estimates the number during qualification.
Are warts contagious?
Yes - viral warts spread through direct contact and via surfaces, particularly damp ones such as swimming pools and changing room floors. They can also spread to other areas of your own body, which is why picking or cutting lesions yourself is not advised.
