Get Rid of Warts — Without Freezing, Scarring, or Recurrence
Warts can be persistent, uncomfortable, and cosmetically frustrating — especially when traditional treatments fail. At MD Laser and Aesthetics Studio, we offer non-invasive wart removal using the Fotona Er:YAG laser, providing a faster, more effective solution for removing common, plantar, or facial warts.
Every treatment is performed by Dr. Ali Hamidi, a board-certified physician, ensuring your care is not only precise but medically sound — with a focus on reducing recurrence and preserving healthy skin.
Why Laser for Wart Removal?
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are often resistant to drugstore treatments, freezing, or acid-based therapies. Laser therapy offers a more advanced and direct method by:
- Destroying wart tissue at the source
- Sealing off blood vessels feeding the wart
- Stimulating immune response to prevent recurrence
- Providing a clean, precise removal with minimal scarring
This method is especially helpful for recalcitrant warts, sensitive areas, or aesthetic zones like the face or hands.
How Laser Wart Removal Works
Using Fotona’s Er:YAG laser, we deliver focused energy directly into the wart. The laser:
- Vaporizes infected skin tissue layer by layer
- Coagulates tiny blood vessels feeding the wart
- Triggers local immune activation to clear lingering virus
This treatment is minimally invasive, bloodless, and allows for precise control — preserving healthy surrounding tissue and minimizing discomfort.
Laser removal can also be used in conjunction with immune-boosting or topical therapies depending on the case.
