Benign growths that appear on the body as a result of exposure to the human papillomavirus (HPV) are called warts. They are neoplasms in the epidermis. Basically, warts on the skin are divided into types according to the type of HPV that caused the appearance on the skin. There are more than 200 genotypes of the virus. It affects not only humans; warts are also found in mammals and some species of birds. Very often, the virus is transmitted to humans from an infected animal. The most common HPV viruses include genotypes 2, 27, 57, 4 and 1. Below we will look at how to diagnose and remove warts, as well as avoid their appearance.
Why do warts appear?
Warts are caused by infection with a virus that causes warts.
| Only skin cells (palms, soles, less often the face, body) become infected and warts appear in these places in groups or individually. The virus is transmitted through household contact with sick people or through common objects (swimming pools, bathhouses, locker rooms). Infection is also facilitated by a weakened immune system, the presence of wounds, scratches, and cracks. |
Reasons for appearance
The root cause of the appearance of any warts is only one: the presence of the human papillomavirus in the human blood. HPV is the most common group of viruses on the planet: according to various sources, various strains of papillomavirus are present in the blood of most of the world's population.
Different strains of papillomavirus can cause tumors. These can be either benign warts, condylomas or papillomas, or malignant formations.
That is why the appearance of any skin tumor, as well as a change in its appearance or size, is a good reason to consult a dermatologist. What if what seems like a harmless wart is a symptom of a much more serious disease?
Do warts need to be removed?
Warts are removed not only for aesthetic purposes, but also to a greater extent as a treatment measure: removing warts prevents their reproduction (in the case of warts on the face and body).
Removing plantar warts, in addition, prevents an increase in size and the acquisition of an ugly, “blooming” appearance, and a high likelihood of pain when walking. Periungual warts can deform the nail plate and lead to its detachment.

Warts should be removed as soon as they appear - this will make the laser removal procedure less painful, faster, cheaper and the healing process will be easier.
Hardware destruction methods
Some warts may involute spontaneously (that is, disappear without outside intervention), but when or if this will happen is impossible to predict.
Dermatologists recommend removing warts, even if they do not cause discomfort. Moreover, now it is extremely rare to resort to a scalpel when removing small benign tumors. Hardware methods are less invasive, simple, safe and characterized by a short recovery period after manipulation.
How to get rid of warts in 15 minutes?
At the Gradient clinic, qualified dermato-oncologist surgeons will carefully examine the formations, determine their type and how to solve your situation. Warts can be removed on the same day of treatment - the procedure is comfortable and painless, using local anesthesia.
After removal, the doctor will recommend care for speedy healing. If necessary, antiviral treatment will also be prescribed. If there is any doubt about the benign quality of the formation, the removed sample will be sent for histology. You can be sure that the procedure is safe!
The most modern and effective solution to the problem of warts is laser removal using a CO2 laser.
Benefits of laser wart removal:
- The device does not come into contact with the patient’s skin; it acts with a beam. Complete asepsis is achieved, the wound does not bleed;
- Removal of warts is achieved with a single radical procedure;
- Precise selection of laser beam parameters allows precise action at the wart-healthy skin interface;
- Healthy skin tissue around the wart is not damaged (there are no unreasonably large marks after removal);
- Rapid tissue regeneration after the removal procedure, the wound heals quickly.
- Painless. Preliminary anesthesia allows you to completely avoid pain;
How much does wart removal cost?
The cost of laser removal of warts depends on their number, size and location (on the face, eyelids, hands, plantar and periungual warts). Based on these parameters, the surgeon will determine the exact cost before performing the procedure. Prices are also shown in the price list at the bottom of the page.

| I would like to thank Artem Sergeevich Kuzmin from the bottom of my heart. There were old plantar warts that caused discomfort when walking. The doctor removed everything quickly, carefully, the wounds did not bleed. It feels like the arm is full, the operation was professional, there was no pain. Four weeks later there is not a single mark on the foot - not a scar. |

| Many thanks to doctor Terekhin Artyom Mikhailovich!!! I didn’t think that there were still such responsive, caring doctors, the operation took only a few seconds, but despite this, the doctor kept in touch with me for several more days, was interested in my son’s well-being, calmed my fears and answered my stupid questions)) Thank you very much, that despite such a flow of people, you are worried about your patients (even if it is a child with a simple wart on his finger), you find time to check, give advice and calm fears). Thank you again for your professionalism and humanity! |
