Warts & Verrucas

Nd:YAG Candela Nordlys Laser Treatment for Warts & Verrucas

Safe, Effective & Non-Invasive Wart & Verruca Removal

Warts and verrucas are stubborn, contagious skin infections caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Traditional treatments like freezing (cryotherapy), salicylic acid, and home remedies can be slow and ineffective, with high recurrence rates.

The Nd:YAG laser treatment with the Candela Nordlys system provides a fast, effective, and non-invasive solution for treating stubborn warts and verrucas. By targeting the blood supply feeding the wart, the laser helps destroy the infected tissue and stimulate the body’s immune response for faster healing.

Why Choose Nd:YAG Candela Nordlys for Warts & Verrucas?

✔ Clinically Proven & FDA-Approved – Nd:YAG laser technology is scientifically tested and proven to effectively remove warts and verrucas.
✔ Targets the Root Cause – The laser destroys the blood supply feeding the wart, stopping its growth and recurrence.
✔ No Need for Painful Freezing or Chemicals – More effective than cryotherapy, acid treatments, or surgery.
✔ Works on Resistant Warts & Verrucas – Ideal for stubborn, recurring warts that don’t respond to other treatments.
✔ Fast & Precise Treatment – Treatments last just a few minutes per wart.
✔ Safe & Non-Invasive – No cutting, no incisions, minimal risk of scarring.

How Does Nd:YAG Laser Work for Warts & Verrucas?

The Candela Nordlys Nd:YAG laser emits a high-intensity light beam that:

1️⃣ Heats & Destroys the Blood Vessels – Cutting off the wart’s blood supply, causing it to shrink and die.
2️⃣ Stimulates the Body’s Immune Response – Helps the body recognize and clear the HPV virus naturally.
3️⃣ Prevents Recurrence – Once the infected tissue is destroyed, the wart or verruca falls off, and healthy skin regenerates.

Over a few weeks, the wart dries up, darkens, and eventually falls off, leaving behind smooth, healthy skin.

What Can Nd:YAG Laser Treat?

✅ Common Warts (Hands & Fingers) – Raised, rough-textured skin growths caused by HPV.
✅ Plantar Warts/Verrucas (Feet & Toes) – Hard, painful warts found on the soles of the feet.
✅ Periungual Warts (Around the Nails) – Difficult-to-treat warts near fingernails or toenails.
✅ Mosaic Warts (Clusters of Small Warts) – Flat, grouped warts often found on hands or feet.
✅ Resistant Warts – Warts that have failed to respond to freezing or acid treatments.

Treatment Program & Frequency

📅 Recommended Course:

• 1–3 sessions for small, new warts.
• 3–5 sessions for stubborn, deep-rooted warts or verrucas.
• Treatments are spaced 4 weeks apart to allow the immune system to clear the wart.

📅 Maintenance Treatments:

• If needed, touch-up sessions may be required for larger or resistant warts.

What to Expect During & After Treatment

How Does Nd:YAG Laser Feel?

✔ Most clients describe the sensation as a sharp, hot pinch or a quick snap, similar to an elastic band.
✔ A mild burning or warm sensation may follow as the wart’s blood supply is targeted.
✔ The Candela Nordlys cooling system ensures comfort and minimizes irritation.
✔ No anesthesia is required, but numbing cream can be applied for sensitive areas.

What Happens After Treatment?

✔ The wart may turn white or darken immediately after treatment.
✔ Over the next few days to weeks, the wart will dry out, shrink, and eventually fall off.
✔ Mild redness or swelling may occur for 24–48 hours.
✔ No downtime – return to normal activities immediately!

When Will I See Results?

📅 After 1–3 sessions: The wart darkens, scabs over, and eventually falls off.

📅 Long-term: Most warts do not return, but occasional top-up sessions may be needed for stubborn infections.
