Warts and verrucae are small, rough growths on the skin caused by a virus. They are common and usually harmless, but many people want them gone because of how they look or because they catch and get in the way. If you live in Carmarthen and want one removed, we freeze warts and verrucae with the CryoPen at our clinic in Llanelli.
Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is in the centre of Llanelli. We are a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and we have been treating clients since 2016.
Every client starts with a free consultation. There’s no pressure and no sales pitch, just an honest view of what treatment can and can’t do for you.
Absolutely. A verruca is a wart that grows on the sole of the foot, and we freeze it with the CryoPen using the same technique.
We use the CryoPen to freeze warts and verrucae. It directs a fine jet of nitrous oxide at the wart, freezing it within seconds.
Its precision means only the wart is targeted, while healthy skin is left alone. There’s no cutting, stitching or anaesthetic. You may notice some itching for about 10 minutes afterwards, which is a normal reaction.
Most treated warts and verrucae drop off within 1 to 4 weeks. One treatment is often enough, but larger lesions may need two. If it hasn’t gone after 4 weeks, a second freeze is needed. As warts are caused by a virus, a new one can sometimes appear.
Side effects are usually small and short-lived. A blister may appear where the wart was frozen, although this is unusual with the CryoPen’s precise jet, and it heals on its own.
As the skin recovers, it can look a little paler or darker than the skin around it, which normally fades over a few months. In rare cases, treating areas like the fingers, where nerves lie near the surface, can leave temporary tingling or numbness, and freezing over coarse hair can damage the follicles. We’ll go through these with you first.
We begin with a free consultation to confirm the lesion is a wart or verruca, check freezing is suitable and go through your medical history.
You’ll know the price before any treatment. If we’re unsure what a lesion is, we’ll advise you to see your GP first.
To secure your appointment we take a £30 deposit. It comes off the price of your treatment, or we refund it in full if you decide not to go ahead. Please read our cancellation policy before you book.

Carmarthen, the county town on the River Tywi, has busy schools, sports clubs and leisure facilities, all common places for warts and verrucae to spread, especially among families.
Our clinic is at 10 Cowell Street in the centre of Llanelli, about 18 miles south-east of Carmarthen. You can drive down the A484 through Kidwelly and Burry Port, or take the A48 to Pont Abraham and come in from there. There are also direct trains from Carmarthen to Llanelli. There is parking in the town centre.
The clinic is also within reach of Johnstown, Llangunnor, Abergwili, Llangain and Ferryside. Appointments are short, so a visit is easy to combine with a trip into Llanelli.

Yes. A verruca is a wart on the sole of the foot, and we freeze verrucae with the CryoPen in the same way.
Yes. Apply Salactol or zinc oxide tape to the wart for a month beforehand. The night before your appointment, soak it in warm water for 20 minutes and gently file away the hard skin.
Most people feel a brief cold sting lasting a few seconds, followed by mild itching for around 10 minutes.
Often just one, though larger warts and verrucae may need a second freeze if they’re still present after 4 weeks.
Usually within 1 to 4 weeks of treatment.
Try not to touch it, as it will flatten on its own. If it pops, apply antiseptic cream morning and evening and cover it with a plaster.
It can happen. The virus behind warts means a new one can occasionally appear, or the original can return.
There’s none. You can return to work or school and normal activities immediately.
