Fast, precise treatment for stubborn warts with advanced laser technology by Dr. Solomon
Warts may seem like a small issue, but for many people, they can cause pain, embarrassment, and a lot of frustration. At Solomon Aesthetic Podiatry in Beverly Hills, we offer modern, effective laser wart removal that targets the root of the virus causing the wart, without the downtime, scarring, or repeated treatments often associated with outdated methods.
Warts are benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus infiltrates the outer layer of skin, typically through small cuts or abrasions, and causes rapid cell growth. The result is a raised bump or lesion, often with a rough surface. Warts are highly contagious and can spread through direct contact or through shared surfaces like floors, towels, and shoes.
While most warts are harmless, they can be stubborn and resistant to over-the-counter treatments. Some may grow in clusters or in areas that make walking, standing, or daily activities uncomfortable.
HPV can lay dormant in the skin for weeks or months before a wart becomes visible, making the timeline from exposure to symptom unpredictable.
Warts are tricky because they involve more than just surface-level skin. The virus embeds itself deep within the skin cells, and many treatments only address the visible portion. Furthermore, the immune system sometimes doesn’t recognize or fight off HPV effectively.
Conventional methods like cryotherapy or topical acids may require multiple applications over several weeks or months. These can cause discomfort, blistering, and skin irritation—and recurrence is common.
That’s why laser therapy offers a game-changing alternative.
At Solomon Aesthetic Podiatry, we use advanced pulsed laser technology to treat warts. The laser delivers a concentrated beam of light directly into the wart, penetrating the skin’s surface to:
This approach is safe, fast, and typically more effective than freezing, cutting, or burning techniques.
Laser therapy is also effective on warts that have been previously treated with no success.
Most healthy individuals with one or more warts are good candidates for laser treatment. It’s especially ideal for:
Dr. Solomon will conduct a full consultation to determine your eligibility.
During your visit, Dr. Solomon will assess your skin, identify the type of wart(s), and discuss your medical history. A dermatoscope or magnification device may be used to determine wart depth and borders.
Treatment time: 15 to 30 minutes on average.
Most patients describe the feeling as a series of quick pinches or heat sensations. The discomfort is minimal and doesn’t linger.
Following the treatment, the area may appear slightly red or swollen. You may see a blister or scab form over the treated area, which is normal and part of the healing process.
Dr. Solomon will provide step-by-step aftercare instructions:
Most patients can resume normal activity immediately. In rare cases, slight tenderness may persist for a day or two.
This depends on:
Each session builds on the immune response, gradually eliminating viral cells.
Although laser is highly effective, HPV can remain dormant in the body. To reduce the risk of recurrence:
Dr. Solomon can recommend specific antifungal and antiviral sprays or sanitizing routines to minimize risk.
| Treatment | Time per session | Scarring Risk | Pain Level | Downtime |
| Topical Acid | 2–10 minutes | Moderate | Low | 1-2 weeks |
| Cryotherapy | 5–15 minutes | Moderate | Moderate | 1–2 days |
| Surgical Excision | 30+ minutes | High | High | 1 week |
| Laser Therapy | 15–30 minutes | Low-none | Low-none | None |
Laser therapy consistently outperforms older methods in terms of healing, cosmetic outcomes, and patient satisfaction.
