Common viral skin growths — assessed and treated where suitable.
Warts are common, benign skin growths caused by a virus. They can appear anywhere, are often stubborn, and can spread or persist. At Feonix Aesthetics in Coventry, warts are assessed by a clinician and treated where appropriate, including with laser treatment for suitable lesions.
Book a ConsultationA wart is a rough, raised growth caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) infecting the top layer of skin. They are benign but can be persistent and can spread to other areas or other people through contact. Warts vary in appearance depending on where they are and which strain of the virus is involved.
Because warts are caused by a virus, they can be stubborn and sometimes recur, which is why an assessment helps set a realistic plan rather than promising a single quick fix.
Warts spread through direct or indirect contact with the virus, often entering through small breaks in the skin. They are more likely to take hold when the immune system is busy elsewhere, and can pass between people or spread on the same person. This is also why they can return — the underlying virus is the driver, not just the visible growth.
Treatment starts with a clinician confirming the lesion is a wart and assessing whether treatment is appropriate. Where it is, laser treatment on the Fotona system can be used for suitable warts, targeting the lesion precisely. We will explain what is realistic — warts can be persistent and more than one session is sometimes needed — and how to reduce the chance of spread.
As with all skin lesions, if anything is atypical or would be better reviewed medically, we will say so rather than proceed.
Yes — warts are caused by a virus and can spread to other areas or to other people through contact. This is part of why they can be stubborn and can recur. Treatment plus sensible precautions to reduce spread is discussed at your assessment.
Because the underlying cause is a virus, not just the visible growth. Warts can persist and sometimes recur even after treatment, and more than one session is occasionally needed. A consultation sets realistic expectations rather than promising a single fix.
For suitable warts, laser treatment on our Fotona system can target the lesion precisely. Whether it's appropriate for your particular wart is decided at assessment — not every lesion needs or suits the same approach.
