How Remy laser wart treatment works

Dr. Lazarus first examines the lesion to confirm that it is a plantar wart. The Remy laser is then directed at the wart as a focused, non-surgical treatment.

No local anesthesia is needed. Treatment recommendations depend on the wart pattern, location, symptoms and medical history, and no result is guaranteed.

Dr. Lazarus examines the lesion, checks whether skin lines are interrupted, looks for the tiny black dots commonly seen in plantar warts, and considers pain pattern, location, duration, and spread before recommending treatment.

The recommended approach depends on the wart's size, location, depth, symptoms, duration, and whether there are multiple lesions. Dr. Lazarus explains the plan after examining the area.
