What Are Warts and Why Do They Happen?
 

Warts are small, rough skin growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often show up on fingers, hands, feet, and other areas exposed to friction or moisture. While they’re not dangerous, they are contagious—and they can spread easily from person to person or from one part of your body to another.

HPV enters the skin through tiny cuts or abrasions. You can contract the virus from shared surfaces in places like pools, gyms, and public showers. Kids, teens, and anyone with a weakened immune system are more prone to developing warts—but anyone can be affected.

Why Are Some Warts So Hard to Get Rid Of?
 

Some warts disappear on their own, but many don’t. In fact, certain strains of HPV cause deep, stubborn warts that resist standard treatments. You may have already tried:

  • Drugstore freezing sprays
  • Salicylic acid pads or gels
  • Home remedies like duct tape or apple cider vinegar

While these treatments can work for mild cases, they often don’t reach the root of the problem. Worse, they can irritate healthy skin and leave you feeling frustrated with no results.

That’s where professional wart treatment in Calgary makes a difference.

 

What Are the Most Effective Wart Treatments?
 

At Calgary Vein and Laser, we offer safe, medically guided wart removal tailored to your skin and condition. Some of the most effective options include:

  1. Cryotherapy (Freezing Treatment)
    One of the most common clinical wart treatments, cryotherapy involves applying liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart at its base. This causes the wart to blister and fall off over time. It’s effective, quick, and works for most types of warts.
  2. Topical Prescription Medications
    Unlike over-the-counter creams, prescription-grade medications penetrate deeper and can include immune-stimulating agents that help your body fight off the virus from within.
  3.  Laser Therapy
    Laser treatments target the wart tissue with precision, destroying the blood vessels that feed the wart. This method is ideal for stubborn or recurring warts and offers excellent results with minimal downtime.
  4. Combination Therapy
    In many cases, a combination of treatments yields the best outcomes. Our clinic customizes your care plan based on the type, location, and severity of your warts—ensuring you get the most effective solution possible.
