Introduction
Laser treatment for warts, also known as laser wart removal, targets the skin affected by warts, generating a photothermal effect that promotes apoptosis and shedding of local skin cells, thereby achieving the removal of warts. The general reference price for laser wart removal is 100–800 yuan per wart. Noticeable improvement can usually be seen within 3–7 days; however, possible side effects include scarring and infection. Normal daily activities can typically be resumed within 1–4 weeks after laser wart removal.
Laser wart removal usually refers to using laser treatment on warts. The laser acts on the skin where warts have developed, producing a photothermal effect that promotes local skin cell apoptosis and shedding, thus achieving the purpose of removing warts. The general reference price for laser wart removal is 100-800 yuan per wart. Noticeable improvement can typically be seen within 3-7 days, although possible side effects include scarring and infection. In general, it takes about 1-4 weeks to resume normal activities after laser wart removal. If necessary, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo treatment under a doctor's guidance. Detailed analysis is as follows:
If the warts are common warts, which are relatively small, the recovery time after laser treatment tends to be shorter. Normal activities can usually resume within 1-2 weeks after undergoing laser treatment.
If the warts are genital warts, the recovery time is relatively longer due to their specific growth locations and frequent association with viral infections. It may take 2-4 weeks for the wound to heal after laser treatment for genital warts before returning to normal life.
After undergoing laser wart removal, it is advisable to maintain a light diet and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods to prevent interference with wound healing. Additionally, use warm water to clean the skin, keep the wound dry and clean, and avoid infection.
