At the Maryland Gout Institute in Reisterstown, MD, feet are more than just an appendage. They are our passion. Dr. Spier, our experienced podiatrist, is always seeking the latest innovative treatments to ensure patients enjoy maximum foot health.
The Weight of Warts
One common foot problem that can affect comfort and self-confidence is warts. These small growths, caused by viruses in the human papillomavirus (HPV) family, can be quite painful and difficult to eliminate. Though most commonly found on the hands and feet, warts can appear anywhere on the body.
Enter Laser Treatment
This is where Dr. Spier’s revolutionary laser treatment for warts can make a huge difference. It’s a safe, effective method of treatment that can directly target the wart without causing damage to surrounding skin tissue.
How Does Laser Treatment Work?
Laser treatment uses concentrated beams of light to destroy warts. This light is absorbed by the blood vessels feeding the wart which then become obstructed, cutting off the blood supply. The wart then naturally falls off over a period.
It is a speedy process with each treatment session only taking around 20 minutes. Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions, depending on the size and depth of their warts.
Benefits of Laser Treatment for Warts
Minimal Pain
Unlike traditional wart removal procedures which can be painful, laser treatment is far less uncomfortable. While some patients report mild discomfort during the procedure, they often describe it as a snapping sensation against the skin.
No Scarring
Laser treatment offers precise, targeted elimination of warts, resulting in minimal damage to surrounding skin. This means patients typically experience very little – if any – scarring post-treatment.
High Efficacy
Most importantly, laser treatment works. It’s an effective resolution for persistent warts that have proven resistant to other forms of treatment.
Remember, while warts may seem like minor skin irritations, they can carry self-consciousness and discomfort into your daily life. And, with the convenience and efficacy of laser treatment, there’s no need to put off treatment any longer.
