Cautery for warts is a medical procedure employed to remove warts through the application of heat or electrical current. This technique involves using a technology that works on electric/heat based technique. The aim is to destroy the wart cells and stimulate the body’s natural healing response, leading to the eventual elimination of the wart. Cautery is often considered an effective and precise method for wart removal, particularly when other treatments have proven less successful.

What is Cautery for Warts
Understanding Cautery
Cautery is a procedure rooted in the principle of controlled tissue destruction. When applied to warts, the cautery tool generates heat, either through electrical resistance or a laser beam, which effectively removes the wart by burning or vaporising it. This process is typically performed under local anaesthesia to ease down the discomfort. Cautery offers the advantage of targeted treatment, allowing healthcare professionals to focus on the specific area affected by the wart while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. The precision of cautery contributes to reduced scarring and a more efficient removal process.
The process starts with application of numbing cream followed by cautry procedure where warts are burnt off. As a downtime minor local crusting can happen, this falls off upon natural healing in 3-5 days. Warts are generally removed in one session.
Benefits of Cautery for Warts
- Precision and Targeted Treatment: Cautery allows for precise and targeted treatment of warts, minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
- Efficient Removal: The cautery process is often swift and efficient, leading to the rapid removal of warts during a single session.
- Reduced Scarring: Due to its precision, cautery typically results in minimal scarring, promoting a more aesthetically pleasing outcome compared to some other wart removal methods.
- Effective for Resistant Warts: Cautery is often recommended when warts prove resistant to other forms of treatment, providing a viable solution for persistent cases.
