Treatment Principle |
Uses pulsed laser energy to destroy proteins in warts, causing denaturation and necrosis |
Uses CO₂ laser energy to vaporize wart tissue, thereby removing the wart |
Uses thermal energy generated by laser beams to burn and remove wart tissue |
Utilizes photothermal effects to break down and shatter pigment particles in the skin |
Applies a photosensitizing agent locally, followed by exposure to laser light of a specific wavelength, causing the wart tissue to absorb the agent and undergo necrosis |

Factors Influencing Cost:
① Type of Wart
Different types of warts vary in treatment complexity, which may affect pricing.
② Geographic Location
Treatment costs may be higher in first-tier cities due to higher living expenses and better medical resources. In second- and third-tier cities, where living costs are lower, prices may be relatively lower.
③ Physician Experience
More experienced and skilled doctors may charge higher fees. Less experienced practitioners may offer lower prices, but this could carry greater risks.
When choosing a treatment method and provider, it is recommended to fully understand your individual condition and needs, and weigh factors such as cost, effectiveness, and safety. After treatment, proper postoperative care is essential—avoid getting the treated area wet too soon to prevent complications and support healing.
