Shaving, Liquid Nitrogen, Immunomodulator Therapy, and Vaccinations

Hand wart treatment at 1 Health

Struggling with warts? You're not alone—these common skin growths, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), can affect anyone and often require targeted treatment to fully resolve. At 1 Health, we offer comprehensive wart management using the latest, most effective therapies: shaving, liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy), immunomodulator therapy, and vaccinations. Discover why these options could be your path to clear, healthy skin.


Wart Removal Options at 1 Health

1. Shaving (Paring)

Wart shaving, medically known as paring, involves carefully trimming down the thickened, dead tissue of a wart using a sterile instrument. This option is minimally invasive and typically used for thicker or hard-to-treat warts. Paring helps reduce discomfort, allows topical treatments to penetrate more effectively, and can produce immediate cosmetic improvement.

·       Quick relief for raised, bothersome warts

·       Often combined with topical or in-clinic therapies for best results


2. Liquid Nitrogen (Cryotherapy)

Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen is one of the gold-standard treatments for common warts. This method rapidly freezes the wart, destroying abnormal tissue so that healthy skin can regrow in its place. Cryotherapy treatments are done in-clinic by a healthcare professional and may require several sessions for complete clearance.

·       Fast and effective: Cure rates are higher than most over-the-counter treatments.

·       How it works: A cryospray or swab delivers liquid nitrogen for a few seconds, causing the wart to blister and eventually fall off


3. Immunomodulator Therapy

For stubborn or recurrent warts, immunomodulator therapy can boost your body's own defenses to remove the virus. Options include topical agents like imiquimod. These methods trigger your immune cells to attack and clear warts, leading to a higher chance of long-term resolution, especially for multiple or resistant warts.

·       Ideal for difficult cases or when other treatments fail

·       Low risk of scarring, as it works by strengthening natural immunity


4. Vaccinations for Warts

Prevention is key! The HPV vaccine provides strong protection against the major virus strains that cause warts, including genital and some types of common warts. Immunization is highly recommended, especially for children, adolescents, and young adults up to age 26.

·       Reduces new infections and recurrence

·       Available free in many regions for targeted age groups
