Quick laser verruca solutions for treatment resistant verrucae and warts is the most effective treatment option performed at Compleet Feet. It is highly effective relying less on an immune response required by most conventional verruca treatments. The Nd:YAGS’s  laser’s powerful 1064nm wavelength is attracted to the blood particles evident within the verruca. The 1064 nm wavelength needs colour pigment (chromophore) to be absorbed into. Once absorbed it creates heat. This heat coagulates blood vessels and causes controlled and targeted tissue destruction.

To control pain levels and maximise the dose of laser energy delivered into a verruca appropriate analgesia is required. Podiatrists at Compleet Feet are experts in advanced ankle block analgesia.  Pain is not an issue during a laser procedure unlike a Swift microwave emblation procedure, but the heat will cause blistering. The post treatment blistering can be pronounced and uncomfortable, but once drained and dressed it is comfortable and can heal up very quickly. The blisters always in effect look more alarming than they actually are.

Once the wounds are resolved all evidence of verruca infection has been eradicated. Occasionally additional laser treatments are required and the application of keratolytic acids if there is scar tissue present from previous past treatments. Scar tissue can impede outcomes as does a compromised immune system, but a tailored combined treatment approach will eliminate the infection. Compleet podiatrists work hard to get results in partnership with their patients. We understand how to get results by undertstanding the nature of the infecting Human Papilloma Virus.
