At Gold Skin Care Center, we offer advanced treatment options to effectively remove genital warts and manage HPV-related conditions, including:
Topical Medications
Prescription creams like imiquimod or podofilox are effective at gradually destroying warts over time by stimulating the immune system or directly breaking down the wart tissue. These medications are typically applied at home under the guidance of a healthcare provider, offering a non-invasive and convenient option for treatment. Results may take several weeks, and adherence to the prescribed regimen is essential for success. Topical medications are often a preferred choice for smaller warts or those in sensitive areas.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy involves the application of liquid nitrogen to freeze warts, causing the abnormal tissue to die and eventually fall off. This safe and effective treatment is commonly performed in a clinical setting and works well for warts on various parts of the body. Cryotherapy may require multiple sessions depending on the size and location of the wart. The procedure is quick and typically well-tolerated, with minimal downtime and discomfort.
Electrocautery
Electrocautery uses controlled electrical currents to burn off warts, providing immediate removal and sealing the surrounding tissue to prevent bleeding. This precise method is ideal for stubborn warts that have not responded to other treatments. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort and is particularly effective for larger or more deeply rooted warts. Electrocautery offers quick results, though it may leave a small scar depending on the wart's location.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a highly precise and advanced option for treating warts, especially those that are stubborn or recurring. The focused laser energy targets and destroys wart tissue without affecting the surrounding skin. This treatment is effective for warts in hard-to-reach areas and is often used when other methods have failed. Laser therapy requires minimal recovery time and can be customized to suit the patient’s specific needs, making it a popular choice for difficult cases.
Surgical Removal
Surgical excision is a reliable option for larger warts or those that do not respond to other treatments. This minor procedure involves cutting out the wart and is typically performed under local anesthesia for patient comfort. While surgical removal provides immediate results, it may require stitches depending on the wart's size and depth. This method is particularly effective for deeply embedded warts and allows for the tissue to be examined if necessary. Post-procedure care is essential to ensure proper healing and minimize scarring.
