CO2 laser method
The best treatment for 去疣 is the fractional CO2 laser method which is the first choice at Retens Medical aesthetic centre in Hongkong. This process involves a device that emits high-density laser rays resulting in coagulation of blood vessels and wart necrosis.
The laser rays are targeted directly on warts without damaging the surrounding tissues and improving the recovery of the treated area. It also reduces the risk of further infection and bleeding after removing the wart.
Warts are contagious but you can prevent them by washing your hands frequently and not picking them. Get them treated so that they don’t spread further.
