- Radiosurgery works by using a radiofrequency wave applied through a wire surgical electrode. This cuts cleanly through tissue so that a wart may be cut around and lifted out without the scar tissue which so often occurs with wounds caused by manual cutting.
- Radiosurgery involves a local anaesthetic beforehand and a typical procedure lasts about 40 minutes. Healing of the site may take 2 – 4 weeks and about 3 or 4 re-dressing appointments are normal.
- T here are a number of other wart treatments involving the application of chemicals (usually acids) to the wart site. Your podiatrist will advise on the options available.
- All warts are assessed and a recommendation of the most appropriate treatment is made AT NO CHARGE TO THE PATIENT.
