Those who are afraid of pain should still consider this method as it is performed under the local antiseptic. This method not only helps to get rid of the aesthetic defect on the skin but also kill the virus which is the cause of the problem.

The procedure of electrocoagulation always takes place under local anesthesia.
The skin is pre-treated with antiseptic.
Loop coagulator is applied to the wart and electric current is applied locally.
There is happening a thermal damage of warts tissues which leads to the death of the damaged skin cells.
Due to the high temperature (800 C) cauterization is also happening to blood vessels, so there is no bleeding.
After the procedure you will be left with the firm crust.
Beneath this crust is happening a process of tissue healing and then this crust disappears.

The treatment is happening with the usage of high voltage. It is not dangerous because it is always performed by professionals and after consultation with the specialist. The main purpose of electrocoagulation is to close the access of papilloma virus (the cause of our problem) to healthy skin tissues.

Since ancient times simple ice was used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent. And nowadays we use some special sprays with liquid nitrogen. The main idea of using cold is that the blood vessels are narrowed by the action of low temperatures and this leads to a decrease in metabolism and slower flow.

Liquid nitrogen implementation:

The spot will become white after the procedure.

The blister will transform into the dry crust and disappear in 7-10 days leaving no scar on the skin.
The actual problem with this method is that it is impossible to determine how strong will be reaction of skin to the cold. Little impact will mean that we need to repeat the procedure (at least one more time) and very deep will form a scar on the skin.

Often the entire process of cryotherapy takes not more than 15 minutes and is painless. Very rarely patients are experiencing slight unpleasant feeling or pain. This method is even used for small children.

However, those who decided to use this method should not only know how much such procedure will cost but also find a clinic where it is possible to remove a wart with the help of an experienced professional. After all, the correct implementation of all actions depends on how quickly the problem will disappear. Sometimes the high price or other factors stop you from choosing this method.
