What are the Symptoms and Causes of Plantar Warts?
Plantar warts are warts that grow on the soles of your feet. They can be small or large, and they often have a black dot in the centre, which is the wart's blood vessels. These look like small lumps that can be found on the feet, typically in the pressure areas. They may also be grainy to the touch and can cause discomfort.
There are many different causes of plantar warts, but the most common is coming into contact with the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus is often found in moist, public places like locker rooms and swimming pools. It can also be spread from person to person. If you have plantar warts, it's essential to take steps to prevent them from spreading.
How Our Laser Wart Removal Can Help You.
If you are looking for a safe and effective way to remove warts, our laser wart removal may be the right solution for you. This procedure uses a laser to target and destroy the wart tissue while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. This can provide you with results that are both long-lasting and cosmetically pleasing.
The goal of laser treatment for warts is to destroy the virus that causes the wart by cutting off its blood supply. The Nd:YAG 1064 laser penetrates deep below the skin surface to target the blood vessels feeding the wart. This eliminates the blood supply to the wart, causing the virus to die along with the wart.

Prior to Treatment
Every person wishing to be treated at Advanced Laser Clinic will require a consultation with our Laser Consultant prior to their first treatment.
At this appointment, we welcome all questions to advance your understanding of the treatment. There will be a consultation form to be completed about your health and medications to assess your eligibility for treatment.
It is important to run a patch test on the skin to make sure that the settings are safe and suitable for your skin. If there are no reactions 24 hours after your patch test, we can commence your laser treatment.
Before laser therapy, it is very important that you keep your treated area away from sun exposure. Your skin needs to be protected from the sun for a minimum of two weeks before any treatment commences. It is important for pre and post treatment. The lasers work on delivering a specific temperature at a certain depth in the tissue to produce the desired results. This is the end point that can be aggravated if or when exposed to sun causing unwanted adverse effects on the skin.
