Registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales and led by GMC-registered doctors.
From £50, with your price confirmed at a free consultation before any treatment.
Each wart is frozen for a matter of seconds, with no cutting and no stitches.
In Llanelli town centre, about 35 miles from Porthcawl, with parking nearby.
The CryoPen delivers a fine jet of nitrous oxide that freezes the wart while leaving the healthy skin around it alone.
Freezing is non-invasive, so there are no incisions and you can carry on with your day straight afterwards.
We check the lesion is a wart and suitable for freezing before any treatment goes ahead.
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 Porthcawl 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.
Warts are small, rough lumps on the skin caused by a virus. They often appear on the hands and fingers. A verruca is a wart on the sole of the foot, which is pressed flat by walking and can be uncomfortable.
They are usually harmless, but they can be stubborn and can spread. Most people have them treated because of how they look, or because they catch, rub or hurt.
Cryotherapy is a quick, sterile and controlled way of destroying unwanted tissue with extreme cold. The CryoPen applies a fine, high-pressure jet of nitrous oxide directly to the wart, freezing it in seconds.
Because the jet is so precise, only the wart is treated and the healthy skin around it is left alone. There is no cutting, no stitches and no anaesthetic.
Straight after treatment the area can feel itchy for about 10 minutes. This is a normal reaction and it settles by itself.
A treated wart or verruca should fall off within 1 to 4 weeks.
Many lesions need only one treatment, but larger warts and verrucae often need two. If yours is still there after 4 weeks, a second freeze is needed.
Warts are caused by a virus, so occasionally one comes back or a new one appears elsewhere.
CryoPen treatment is low-risk and side effects are usually minor. A blister can form on the treated area. This is uncommon with the CryoPen because only the wart is frozen, and it settles by itself.
The skin can heal slightly lighter or darker than the skin around it. This usually fades over a few months, but it can last longer.
Rarely, freezing over an area where nerves sit close to the surface, such as the fingers, can cause temporary numbness or tingling. On areas with coarse hair, freezing can damage the hair follicles. We talk all of this through with you before any treatment.
Your visit starts with a free consultation. We look at the lesion to confirm it is a wart or verruca and that freezing is the right way to treat it, and we ask about your medical history.
You’ll know what it will cost before any treatment. If we are not sure what a lesion is, we will advise you to have it checked by your GP first.
Wart removal starts from £50. The price depends on the number of warts, and we confirm it at your free consultation, before any treatment.
