What
Is Warts :
One of the most common infections in the world is caused by
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), commonly known as wart virus.
It is a microscopic virus particle that infects the skin.
The warts appear as single bumps or in clusters some having
a cauliflower structure. There are many strains or types of
the HPV (wart) virus. Some warts grow on the body such as
a Flat Wart. Others grow on the hands, the Plantar Wart (
or planter wart ) grows under the feet. The warts virus is
also found in the genital area including in and around the
anus, vagina, and on the penis..
Certain wart types and in particular, type 16 and 33 (genital
strain) are associated with more serious changes in the skin
that may lead to cancer. Studies have shown a close link between
these types of HPV and cancer of the cervix.
Laser
treatment can be used on warts anywhere on the body, including
venereal warts.Other methods of treatment (freezing, burning,
acid) can be very painful and ineffective. Laser treatment
with the Pulsed Dye laser eliminates the blood supply to the
wart without creating a wound. The wart just dries up
Skin tags or polyps, and other wart-like skin growths
are also treated by laser. Scarring is minimal.
Results of laser treatment on skin lesions can be quite dramatic.
Most people experience an improvement in their vascular or
pigmented lesions. Any immediate changes to skin coloration
or texture should return to normal within a short time after
treatment. However, as in any surgical procedure, there remains
a possibility that only minor changes will occur and occasionally
there are some cases which do not respond. There are many
benefits from laser surgery including minor or no pain, no
needles in most cases and lesions don't return or regenerate.
Wart removal with the laser is a breeze. Laser treatment
does not cause the discomfort often associated with freezing,
cutting and acid removal of warts.Erbiumyag Laser removes
the wort layer by layer. Laser treatment is safe for adults
and children.Most warts are permanently removed after one
treatment. Approximately 20% of warts will need a second treatment,
and 10% will need a third treatment.
