How it works

  1. Free consultation and skin assessment
  2. A clear price before treatment
  3. Prepare the wart at home, then CryoPen freezing in seconds

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 Neath 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.

What Are Warts and Verrucae?

Yes. Verrucae on the soles of the feet are frozen with the CryoPen in the same way as warts elsewhere on the body.

How CryoPen Wart Removal Works

Illustration: the CryoPen delivers a fine, precise jet of ultra-cold nitrous oxide onto the wart. The extreme cold turns the fluid inside its cells into sharp ice crystals, which rupture the cell walls and destroy the infected tissue, while the surrounding skin is left unharmed. The treated wart then darkens, dries and falls away, usually within one to four weeks. Larger warts and verrucae may need a second freeze if still present after four weeks. © Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic.

We freeze warts and verrucae using the CryoPen, which applies a precise, pressurised jet of nitrous oxide to the lesion. It takes seconds.

Only the wart is frozen, while the healthy skin around it is left alone. There’s no cutting, no stitches and no anaesthetic. Some itching for about 10 minutes afterwards is normal.

What Results to Expect

Warts and verrucae normally fall off within 1 to 4 weeks. Many need one treatment; larger ones often need two. If it’s still there after 4 weeks, we’ll freeze it again. Because warts are viral, a new one may occasionally appear.

Possible Side Effects

Side effects are generally mild. A small blister can form but is uncommon with the CryoPen, since the healthy skin isn’t frozen, and it will go down on its own.

The area may heal a shade lighter or darker than the skin around it; this usually fades over a few months. Very occasionally, freezing near surface nerves, such as on the fingers, causes temporary tingling or numbness, and coarse hair in the area may be affected. We’ll talk this through at your consultation.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • Very quick: the CryoPen only needs a matter of seconds on each wart
  • Brief sting: most people feel a quick cold sting and mild itching afterwards
  • Possible second session: bigger warts and verrucae may need freezing twice
  • Falls away: usually within 1 to 4 weeks
  • Carry on as normal: there’s no downtime
  • Straight talking: if a lesion isn’t right for freezing, we’ll say so

Your Free Consultation

We start with a free consultation to confirm the lesion is a wart or verruca, check freezing is right for you and go through your medical history.

You’ll know the cost before treatment. If we’re not sure what the 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.

Before and After Your Treatment

Before you come in

  • One month before your first treatment, start preparing the wart or verruca in one of two ways: apply Salactol, following the product instructions carefully, or cover the whole lesion with zinc oxide tape.
  • The night before your appointment, soak the area in warm water for 20 minutes.
  • After soaking, gently remove all the hard skin from the lesion with a pumice stone or a file. All of the hard skin needs to come off for the treatment to work well.
  • Stop using Salactol or zinc oxide tape straight after your first treatment.
  • Before each further treatment, soak the area in warm water for 20 minutes and gently remove the hard skin again.
  • Tell us about any medication you take and any medical conditions, particularly anything affecting circulation or healing.

After each session

  • Do not pick the treated area at any time. Picking makes it take longer to heal.
  • If a scab is knocked off by accident, healing takes longer, but the result should be the same.
  • If a blister appears, leave it alone and do not pop it. It will go down by itself.
  • If a blister does pop and the area weeps, use an antiseptic cream such as Savlon or Germolene twice a day, and cover it with a plaster if you wish.
  • You can also use antiseptic cream if the area becomes tender.
  • If the wart or verruca is still there after 4 weeks, contact us about a second freeze.

You’ll be given aftercare advice to take home, and you can call us with any questions.

Serving Neath and the Neath Valley

Neath is a straightforward drive along the M4 to Llanelli, and since wart treatment takes only a few seconds, you’ll be in and out quickly.

Our clinic is at 10 Cowell Street in the centre of Llanelli, about 20 miles west of Neath. The usual route is the M4 west to junction 48, then the A4138 into Llanelli. There are also trains from Neath towards Llanelli, some with a change at Swansea. There is parking in the town centre.

The clinic is also within reach of Skewen, Briton Ferry, Cimla, Tonna and Resolven. Appointments are short, so a visit is easy to combine with a trip into Llanelli.

Wart Removal near Neath: Your Questions Answered

How much does wart removal cost?

Wart removal starts from £50. The price depends on the number of warts, and we confirm it at your free consultation, before any treatment.

Do you treat verrucae?

Yes. A verruca is a wart on the sole of the foot, and we freeze verrucae with the CryoPen in the same way.

Do I need to prepare before treatment?

Yes. For four weeks before treatment, use Salactol or zinc oxide tape. On the evening before, soak the area in warm water for 20 minutes and gently remove the hard skin.

Does CryoPen wart removal hurt?

You’ll feel a short, cold sting lasting a few seconds. Itching for around 10 minutes afterwards is normal.

How many treatments will I need?

One is often enough. Bigger warts and verrucae can need two, and we re-freeze any still there after 4 weeks.

How long does it take for the wart to fall off?

It typically drops off within 1 to 4 weeks as the skin heals.

What if I get a blister?

Leave it alone and don’t pop it; it will go down by itself. If it does burst, apply antiseptic cream twice a day and cover it with a plaster.

Can the wart come back?

Now and then. Warts come from a virus, so a fresh wart may sometimes develop after the first has cleared.

Is there any downtime?

None. You can return to normal activities immediately.
