Radio wave removal of warts is an effective way to get rid of all types of warts: vulgar, flat and plantar. Warts are considered an infectious disease, as they are caused by various types of human papillomavirus (HPV). The incubation period for the appearance of warts lasts from 2 weeks to a year. HPV infection occurs through contact with the virus through handshakes, during contact sports, through toys and handrails in public transport, when using other people's towels, shoes, etc. The most common places where warts are localized are the skin of the hands, soles, and face, but it is possible to have warts in any area of the skin.
Not every exposure of a virus to the surface of the skin will lead to the formation of warts. This requires certain conditions, which include:
- decreased antiviral immunity of the body as a result of frequent stress, lack of sleep, overwork and the presence of persistent viral infections (hepatitis B and C, HIV infection, chronic herpetic infections);
- treatment with cytostatics and corticosteroid hormones of the main existing diseases (oncology, autoimmune processes);
- chronic allergic skin diseases with frequent scratching and treatment with external corticosteroids (atopic dermatitis, chronic eczema, neurodermatitis);
- increased skin moisture (especially characteristic of plantar warts against the background of foot hyperhidrosis);
- friction and microtrauma of the skin.
What are warts?
Neoplasms arise due to a number of reasons: weakened immunity, stressful situations, microtrauma of the skin, non-compliance with personal hygiene rules. The result of these factors is the appearance of condylomas on the epidermis. Their localization can be anywhere - from the skin of the hands and feet, ending with the face and intimate areas.

Papules can grow throughout life and reach a diameter of 2 centimeters. The biggest danger of papillomas is that they can transform from benign to malignant. Malignant growths are called melanomas, which can still be cured in the early stages of the disease, so you should not delay a visit to the doctor.
You should not self-medicate, and take alternative medicine methods especially seriously. Celandine, acetic acid, garlic and other methods do not always save you from serious diseases, plus they can have a negative effect on the skin where the wart is located.
After a thorough examination, the specialist determines the type of tumor and prescribes a course of treatment. The most effective ways to get rid of defects on the epithelium are radio wave methods, laser technologies, cauterization with liquid nitrogen and surgical procedures.
Skin care after the procedure
Individual recommendations for skin care after removal of papillomas using radio waves can only be given by the attending physician. However, they do not imply anything supernatural, since the patient is often advised to follow such rules.
The area on the skin treated with radio waves requires careful care.
- A scab forms on the ultrasonic-treated skin surface, which cannot be touched or peeled off. Such actions can lead to infection of the wound and its subsequent suppuration.
- Avoid getting water into the wound. This will only slow down the healing process.
- Try not to scratch the treated area, even if the itching during wound healing is unbearable.
- Avoid rubbing the crust on your clothes.
- For 3 days, lubricate the area subjected to ultrasonic treatment with an antiseptic.
If you follow these simple recommendations, the crust will soon be torn off, leaving behind a small spot. It will pass in approximately 10-20 days, although it all depends on the speed of cell regeneration, and this is a purely individual process.

Features of radio wave wart removal
Radio wave therapy uses high-frequency waves emitted by a radio knife for treatment. Under the influence of these waves, the growth tissue releases heat and the process of boiling and evaporation of cells begins. This technology is considered non-traumatic and safe for the health of children, women and men.
Both the incisions and radio wave exposure are performed without destruction of tissues and blood vessels, therefore, after the recovery period, scars and cicatrices do not form on the epidermis. During radio wave removal of condylomas, sterile instruments are used, as a result of which it becomes impossible for infections and bacteria to enter the wound. After the operation, swelling and inflammation are not observed.
Drug therapy for growth
Drug treatment of spines involves the use of system-wide medications to suppress HPV and keratolytics to burn out the growth.
General systemic drugs:
- antiviral agents - Groprinosine, Isoprinosine;
- products for local treatment of papillomas - Condilin, Verrukatsid, Superchistotel, Panavir, Malavit in the form of ointments, cauterizing liquids. They are sold in pharmacies without a prescription;
- immunomodulators - Immunomax, Likopid, Viferon.
The course of treatment for spines with antiviral drugs and agents to enhance immunity is determined by the doctor. During pregnancy, therapy poses a danger to the life of the unborn baby.
Products for topical treatment of warts must be applied pointwise, being careful not to touch healthy tissue. It is recommended to steam the affected area of skin first. The number of treatments depends on the size of the tumor and the tissue reaction to the drug.
Indications and contraindications for the procedure
Radio wave therapy is prescribed by a doctor after diagnosing the patient and establishing a reliable diagnosis. The main indication for manipulation is a benign wart on the skin.
Doctors prefer surgical methods when the growth changes color, grows rapidly, or partially disappears. If other treatment methods do not help, the patient has to agree to surgical excision of the papule. Contraindications to radio wave treatment include:
- malignant tumors;
- allergic reactions;
- glaucoma;
- ARVI;
- diabetes;
- the occurrence of inflammatory processes in the body.
Radio wave therapy is also not recommended for patients with hypertension and epilepsy. It is prohibited to prescribe the procedure to people with installed pacemakers. If a person feels unwell before the procedure, they should inform the specialist about this in order to avoid complications and negative consequences.
How to understand that the spine has passed
The thorn has a deep root that cannot be pulled out on your own. If the top of the wart has been cauterized, re-growth of the tumor is likely. It is not recommended to remove papilloma yourself. Medicinal and traditional methods are effective for fresh tumors. Treatment of painful spines is considered complete after removing the entire wart along with the root.
After laser procedures, cryotherapy, and the use of electromagnetic pulses, the wart turns black and disappears completely within a week. The risk of relapses, side effects, and complications is minimal.
Benefits of radio wave wart removal
One of the many advantages of the technique is its painlessness. High-frequency waves completely block muscle spasms and nerve endings, so the patient does not feel discomfort or pain during surgery. If a large papule is removed, a specialist can numb the area of skin with special medications.
During the procedure, there is no blood at all, since the radio wave knife cauterizes the blood vessels, so there can be no bleeding. After excision of the wart, swelling does not form in the area of removal. Healthy tissues are practically not affected, thereby eliminating mechanical effects on cells. Another advantage of the method is that during the incision, a dead area is formed, which is almost 10 times smaller than when using other methods of removing papillomas.
The operation is sterile, since high-frequency waves kill bacteria and microorganisms and allow the procedure to be performed without sutures. Because of this, the process of rehabilitation and wound healing occurs several times faster and without side effects (inflammation and infection).
After removing warts, there are no scars left, so if new growths occur on the skin of the face, neck or other open areas of the epidermis, the patient does not have to worry about the appearance of defects. Since the papule is not cut out, but excised, there is no indentation and the wound heals in a short period of time, leaving no pigment spots. The specialist submits the cut condyloma for histological analysis; this should be done if a malignant tumor is suspected.
What is the Surgitron device used for and its features?
The use of the Surgitron device is aimed at eliminating various types of formations. By converting electric current into high frequency waves (from 3.8 to 4 megahertz), the device allows you to eliminate only specific cells. The energy concentrated in the tip evaporates the liquid in the cells of the skin or mucous membrane. Along with the evaporated liquid, the cells themselves die. Thus, it is possible to act only on the required affected area, while ignoring healthy tissue.
The main characteristic of using the radio wave method is the absence of contact with the treatment site.
This allows you to avoid many undesirable consequences during the procedure. Removing warts with Surgitron makes it possible to perform the operation with minimal time and achieve the best cosmetic effect.
Before the removal procedure, the patient does not need to undergo special preparation. Usually the operation is performed on the day the patient comes to the clinic. To achieve complete painlessness, the patient is given an injection of an anesthetic drug directly into the formation or into the area around it. The affected area is treated with a special antibacterial agent. This is necessary to prevent pathogens from entering an open wound from the external environment. Next, the doctor performing the operation selects the appropriate settings for the device and begins removal. The doctor can completely control the excision process, adding amplitude or force of impact if necessary.
Processing directly depends on the type of formation. In cases with convex papillomas, a loop-tip is placed over the wart. Being in the center of the loop, and therefore in the center of the energy accumulation, the growth is quickly cut off.
Removal of plantar warts with surgitron occurs according to a different principle. The edges of the growth are pulled back with tweezers, and the tip of the device outlines its perimeter. The depth of the cut depends on the degree of ingrowth of the papilloma into the skin. The larger the root of the wart, the deeper the cut to be made.
At the end of the operation, if necessary, the wart is sent for histological examination. After the procedure, the patient can return to his business.
How is removal done using radio waves?
The operation is performed using a radio wave knife that emits high-frequency waves. Radio waves act on neoplasm cells that contain fluid. The water absorbs the waves and begins to boil, as a result of which the integrity of the cell is destroyed.
When a wart ruptures, particles containing papillomavirus are released from the cells, so the room must be sterile so that the people in it do not become infected with the virus. An exhaust hood should also be installed in the room for constant air circulation.
Before the procedure begins, the patient is injected with anesthesia or a special pain-relieving ointment is applied.
The duration of the operation varies from 15 to 30 minutes (the parameters of condylomas and their number are taken into account). After heating the knife, cutting off the growth and cauterizing the tissues located nearby begins. With the help of cauterization, the manipulation is bloodless.
Spine removal methods
To remove papilloma, surgical methods, hardware techniques, medications, and folk experience are used.
If the tumor is fresh, you can try to burn it off with medications purchased at the pharmacy.
- Antiviral medicinal ointments, tablets to remove the papilloma virus (panavir, groprinosin).
- Medicines to strengthen the immune system (viferon, interferon).
- Cauterizing drugs (superchistotel, feresol).
They fight growths in unusual ways: wrapping them in foil, rubbing in dry cement.
Cauterizing agents are used according to the instructions. If solutions come into contact with healthy areas, the skin can be burned.
Hardware techniques
Laser removal is a way to remove a spine using a laser. The device affects the formations that feed the blood vessels. Cauterization of a wart is non-traumatic, the pain is moderate. After the procedure, the pain will go away, and after a week the crust will disappear.
Laser type | Peculiarities |
Continuous irradiation laser | A device with highly focused irradiation. It is undesirable to get rid of papillomas on sensitive areas of the skin; the formation of scars and scars is possible. |
Laser with variable irradiation (friction) | Suitable for removing tumors from the face and sensitive skin areas. Does not leave scars. |
Radio wave cutting of warts in children
Radio wave therapy does not last long and does not cause discomfort or pain, so it is prescribed even to children. To refer a child for the procedure, he must undergo an initial examination and diagnosis by a dermatologist.
The patient undergoes a general analysis of urine and blood, as well as an allergy test for drugs that are part of the local anesthesia.
During the procedure, the dose of radio radiation is minimal, which is why there is no potential danger to the child’s body. Nowadays, most private clinics perform radio wave cutting of papules for young children and guarantee a positive result.
Possible complications
If papilloma is not treated, the following consequences are possible:
- inflammation processes in damaged areas of the body;
- increase in size;
- the appearance of multiple warts;
- pain when walking (with papillomas on the sole of the foot);
- transition of a benign neoplasm to the malignant stage;
- formation of scars, cicatrices.
If after treatment the tumor darkens, the patient is bothered by pain, itching, swelling, you should visit a dermatologist.
If warts appear again after treatment, a consultation with an immunologist is recommended. Perhaps the reason for the appearance of tumors is a weakened immune system. To prevent education, it is necessary to follow the rules of personal hygiene, use your own cosmetics, clothing, and shoes.
Treatment of spines is a complex therapy that includes system-wide and local drug therapy, removal of the formation on the foot or toe. Using only one type of influence is ineffective. Cauterizing a wart does not suppress HPV activity, and the use of drugs does not eliminate vegetation.
What papillomas (warts) can be removed with the device?
The Surgitron device is widely used in gynecology, proctology and dermatology. Great for removing build-ups such as:
- warts;
- papillomas:
- keratomas;
- genital warts on the genitals, perianal area;
- pigmented nevi of various locations.
In addition, the method is effective in treating the following diseases:
- rash with molluscum contagiosum;
- benign vascular formations – hemangiomas;
- telangiectasia;
In case of malignant degeneration (cancer) of the formation, the use of Surgitron is contraindicated.
The use of the radio wave method is prescribed by a doctor after an examination and receipt of the results of the necessary tests. Sometimes the technique is used to obtain material for a biopsy, which is a stage in making a correct diagnosis.
How to understand that the spine has passed
It is easy to understand whether the formation has passed after treatment. At the site of the growing season, a depression the size of the wart remains. In its place, healthy pink skin should form. There should be no pain or swelling when pressing or walking.
The duration of recovery from a thorn depends on the size of the formation, the method of its treatment, the presence of complications during the rehabilitation period, and damage to neighboring tissues. When using folk remedies, recovery takes several months.
Removing the spine completely means getting rid of HPV, removing the neoplasm. Only in this case the risk of new vegetation appearing is extremely low. Treatment with medications alone does not suppress HPV in the body; getting rid of external signs will be temporary.
Indications for use
Surgitron is used not only to remove warts, but also to treat gynecological diseases
The Surgitron device is used to remove the following tumors:
- fibroma;
- nevus (mole);
- papilloma (wart);
- lipoma;
- atheroma;
- condyloma.
In gynecology, Surgitron is used in the following cases:
- cervical deformity;
- endometriosis;
- nevus located on the genitals;
- cervical biopsy;
- polyps;
- leukoplakia.
Before starting the procedure, you must consult with a specialist to first clarify the details of the manipulation. In addition, the specialist must inform the patient about possible contraindications.
As a result, a person gets rid of any growth in one procedure. After removal, a small wound will form on the skin if the neoplasm occupied a large area, and after the wound has healed, a scar will form. After the procedure, it is necessary to carefully care for the wound to avoid infection and other undesirable consequences.
Preparing for the removal procedure
Preparing for the procedure does not require much effort from the patient.
The patient must undergo the following tests:
- a smear from the urethra or cervical canal to detect changes in cells caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV);
- PCR analysis for the presence of genetic material of the virus, establishing the strain;
- cytological examination of biological material obtained as a result of biopsy;
- blood tests for the presence of other sexually transmitted diseases (syphilis, AIDS, hepatitis).
Laboratory tests will help clarify the diagnosis and prescribe the correct therapy. Removal of papillomas with surgitron requires compliance with the rules of personal hygiene before the procedure.
How to remove a scar from a thorn
After treatment with destructive methods, scars may remain. They occur in the following cases:
- extensive formation that had to be removed surgically;
- violation of the rules for caring for the damaged surface, inflammation and the appearance of pus.
It is impossible to remove the scar after treatment of the spine. It is easier to prevent its formation.
Postoperative care for the spine:
- treat the wound with an antiseptic as prescribed by the doctor;
- do not touch the wound surface, do not pick off scabs or scabs. Unpleasant consequences can be caused by infection. The inflammatory process will contribute to an increase in the area of the affected surface;
- try not to put stress on the foot or palm for at least the first few days after treatment.
After the formation of scar tissue, it is recommended to use drugs such as Contratubes. They help soften the seam.
Types of warts
- Common warts are dome-shaped gray-brown formations with a rough, keratinized surface. Most often (but not always) they form on the hands. Their sizes can reach 1.5 cm. The formations can merge with each other, resulting in the formation of plaques.
- Plantar warts are one of the varieties of common warts. They occur on the soles of the feet and cause discomfort when walking. Externally, plantar warts are thickenings on the skin covered with dark dots. Formations appear in places where the foot comes into contact with the shoe and sweats.
- Flat warts , also called juvenile warts, form on the extremities and face. They are small in size, no more than 5 mm. Most often they have the form of pink or brown nodules. This type of wart most often affects children and adolescents.
- Thread-like - appear on the face in the chin, mouth, and around the lips. Similar formations under the mammary glands and inside the armpits are also common. They most often do not differ in color from the skin. The main danger of filamentous warts is the possibility of injury and spread of the virus, so removal is often required.
- Condylomas acuminata are pink formations in the form of nodules. After some time, they merge and create larger growths on the stem. They occur in the groin and intergluteal cavities.
- Senile warts are a benign proliferation of keratinocyte cells. They appear everywhere except on the soles. This type of wart is the only one whose formation is not associated with HPV.
How long does the effect last?
The Surgitron radio wave apparatus removes tumors once and for all. However, it only removes the effect, not the cause. It is not a fact that after a while the neoplasm will not manifest itself. To avoid relapses, doctors recommend that their patients give up bad habits and reduce the influence of negative factors that provoke the appearance of tumors.
