How to use the Wartner pen, what are the contraindications for this, and how to care for your skin after the procedure - this and much more will be discussed in this article.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Wartner Nailexpert is a modern medicinal product designed to combat fungi that affect the nail plate. Thanks to the specially developed formula DS12 Complex, this drug is characterized by a targeted effect aimed at quickly eliminating nail fungi . For ease of use, the tube with the product is equipped with an individual applicator.
As a result of using the drug, the following is observed:
- preventing the growth and subsequent spread of an existing fungal infection due to the formation of a protective film that creates an unfavorable environment for the life of the fungus , both in relation to the healthy nail plates of the patient himself and in relation to other persons in contact with him;
- acceleration of recovery and regeneration of affected nail plates , which occurs due to the nutritional and moisturizing qualities of the active ingredients of the product.
The mechanism of action of the drug Neilexpert becomes possible thanks to the effects included in the formula DS12 Complex silicone oils , creating a water-repellent, impenetrable barrier that envelops the nail plates. This protective layer is a kind of obstacle to the further spread and development of fungal infection , due to its blocking the access of oxygen and other nutrients necessary for the normal functioning of the fungus .
In addition, D-panthenol , characterized by its regenerating effect, favors a fairly rapid renewal of previously affected nail plates, which, in combination with glycerin , distinguished by its nutritional and moisturizing qualities, further enhances the healing process.
A study of the use of the complex of ingredients included in this drug has demonstrated that its use in strict accordance with the recommendations prescribed in the instructions for 4 weeks guarantees the elimination of the sensation of itching , as well as a noticeable improvement in the condition and appearance of the surfaces of previously affected nail plates (their dryness , fragility, friability ; smoothness appears).
After using the product, your nails acquire a healthy appearance and are easier to maintain on a daily basis.

When is Wartner needed?
Papillomaviruses are responsible for the appearance of warts. Papilloma does not have a malignant etiology, but the risk of developing into melanoma is still present. Moreover, all warts behave differently.
It is necessary to sound the alarm with the appearance of the first outbreak. The treatment method largely determines the further activity of tumors. Under no circumstances should you self-medicate! Any therapeutic measures should be carried out under the supervision of a dermatologist.
The use of the drug is justified in case of the appearance of plantar and common (vulgar) warts, as well as dry calluses. Their location should be limited to the upper and lower extremities.
The appearance of growths and nodules never goes unnoticed. It is simply impossible not to attach importance to this! Vulgar warts appear on the fingers and hands. They are hard and dry, semicircular in shape. The surface of a common wart resembles a cauliflower (due to its bumpiness). Plantar growths are located in the deep layer of the epidermis, which makes their removal much more difficult. These are flat growths on the feet or toes. Characterized by painful sensations while walking. The Wartner applicator pen is a very good product that removes warts by peeling the top layer of skin. With its help you can get rid of senile, filiform and chicken warts localized on the arms and legs.
Do not use the drug on sensitive areas of the skin: on the face, mucous membranes, in the armpits. The product is also not intended for intimate areas.
How the gel works
The main cause of dry calluses lies in frequent pressure on any part of the skin of the body. First, a small zone of roughened dermis is formed, which becomes thicker and denser over time.
In addition, there are additional factors that accelerate the process of the appearance of this type of callus:
- uncomfortable, tight shoes;
- gait features;
- lack of vitamins;
- diseases (for example, diabetes).
Once a callus appears, it is difficult to get rid of it. Constant exfoliation and moisturizing of the rough area is necessary, but this method is time-consuming and requires a lot of patience. Using Wartner gel will shorten the treatment period.
