Let’s talk a bit more about the process of our wart removal treatment just to let you be on the safe page of the process. We work on scientifically proven procedures, which will make the healing process a lot faster.

This process takes place under local anesthesia by injecting local anesthetic like lignocaine before starting the process or by applying anesthetic creams at least an hour before starting the process. The cream application helps the doctors to achieve topical numbness. After that, radiosurgery is used for removing warts from their places.

How Does Radiosurgery Work for Wart Removal?

Radiosurgery is used for removing not just warts but moles, skin tags, and other skin lumps and bumps. It will involve the passage of radio waves right into the skin for performing the reshaping or removal of the lesion.

• We, at Labelle, will use various types of electrodes. It depends on the lesion type, that is, wire loop, fine needle, scalpel blade, and more.
• After the procedure, patients can expect redness, minor swelling, tenderness in the area, and bruising for few days. It is the healing process, and all these signs will go away eventually.
• But, there must not be any form of bleeding because of tissue coagulation while going for the treatment. In case you see traces of blood, call our doctors at Labelle immediately.
