Wart removal in Bratislava
Viral warts are benign, contagious skin lesions that can be painful under pressure (for example, when walking) and often present a cosmetic concern, particularly when they appear on the hands, fingers or feet. At the Dermarevolta clinic in Bratislava, we specialise in diagnosing and removing them. Following an examination, the dermatologist will recommend a suitable treatment approach, which may include cryotherapy, radiowave treatment with the Surgitron device, or surgical excision.
Procedures we perform
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is spread through direct or indirect contact, often via minor breaks in the skin. They most commonly appear on the fingers, hands and feet. Plantar warts on the soles of the feet can cause pain when walking due to the pressure they are exposed to. Before any procedure, a dermatological examination is required to distinguish warts from other skin lesions, such as corns, fibromas or moles. The removal method is then chosen according to the type, depth and location of the lesion.
Diagnosis of warts
The examination helps distinguish a wart from other skin lesions. In the case of plantar warts, mechanical reduction of the thickened skin (hyperkeratosis) may sometimes be needed before treatment.
Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen
A standard approach for superficial viral warts. Larger and deeper lesions, typically on the feet, may require repeated treatment sessions.
Surgitron radiowave method
Used mainly for lesions on the face, neck and hands. This method combines cutting and coagulation, helping to better control bleeding during the procedure.
Surgical wart removal
Classic excision with a scalpel is used only in exceptional cases involving warts. It is reserved for atypical lesions that require a sample to be sent for histological examination, or for extremely deep lesions that have not responded to other treatments.
Comfort during the procedure
Procedures are carried out on an outpatient basis. Depending on the extent of the lesion and the chosen method, the doctor may use local anaesthesia to numb the treated area.
Aftercare
The patient receives instructions on caring for the treated area and on reducing the risk of further spreading the infection, along with a follow-up appointment if needed.
Wart removal price list
The cost of treatment depends on the number, size and location of the warts, as well as the treatment method chosen. Removing deep plantar warts on the foot may require several sessions. The prices listed are indicative. The doctor will confirm the final price and scope of treatment after the examination.
Dr Olena Lavreshyna
Specialist in dermatovenereology and interventional dermatologyOlena Lavreshyna is a board-certified dermatovenereologist specialising in non-invasive diagnostics and aesthetic dermatology. At our clinic, she carries out precise dermatoscopic examinations of viral warts and their subsequent removal using gentle outpatient methods.
In her practice, she focuses primarily on cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen and the modern Surgitron radiowave method. Her priority is to choose the approach that places the least burden on the patient, does not require lengthy recovery, and delivers the best possible cosmetic outcome with minimal scarring.
“When treating warts, it’s important to determine the type of lesion and assess its depth and location. The choice of method is then tailored to these findings. The aim of treatment is not only to remove the lesion but also to reduce the risk of the virus spreading further on the skin.”
When should you consider consulting a doctor?
- The wart causes pain when walking or under normal pressure.
- The number of skin lesions is increasing and spreading to the surrounding area.
- The growth is located somewhere it causes mechanical irritation or is prone to catching (hands, fingers, around the nails).
- Over-the-counter pharmacy products have not improved the condition.
- The lesion bleeds, itches or changes in appearance after irritation.
- You’re not sure whether it’s a wart, a corn, a fibroma or another type of skin lesion.
