A dermatologist evaluates the type of wart and selects the safest and most effective removal method for your specific situation.
Our dermatologists remove warts using several methods, depending on their type, size, depth, and location:
(CO₂ / modern technology)
Usually up to 20 minutes, but it depends on the number, size, and depth of the warts. If there are many warts or they are deeper, the procedure may take longer.
Usually not. If the wart is on the sole or is very painful, the doctor may recommend softening the area before the procedure (for example, with warm baths).
In most cases, no. However, they can spread, hurt, bleed, or cause discomfort. That is why professional removal is recommended.
Minimal sensations are possible, but local anesthesia is used when needed.
Usually not. With modern methods, the risk of scarring is minimal.
Yes. The dermatologist selects the most suitable method according to the child’s age and wart type.
Yes. If there are many of them, the doctor may recommend several stages.
Our dermatovenereologists work in both Vilnius and Kaunas. All doctors have experience removing warts with laser, electrocoagulation, and other methods, so they will choose the safest and most effective solution for your situation.
(Removal with liquid nitrogen)
For some superficial warts, freezing with liquid nitrogen may also be used.
This method is used selectively—most often when the wart is small, superficial, or when it is the most suitable option for the patient. The dermatologist evaluates whether cryotherapy is the most effective solution in a specific case.
(For deeper or stubborn warts)
When warts are deeper, painful, or prone to recur, a combination of methods may be used (e.g., curettage + laser or cryotherapy + electrocoagulation).
