Plantar Wart Removal with CO₂ Laser or Cryotherapy

Consultation & Evaluation

You’ll meet with a provider for an in-office evaluation. Your provider will examine the wart, discuss symptoms, and determine whether CO₂ laser or cryotherapy is the most effective option for you.

In-Office Treatment

Your selected treatment is performed during the same visit. With cryotherapy, liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the wart tissue. With the CO₂ laser, a precise beam gently vaporizes the affected tissue. Both methods take only a few minutes and do not require anesthesia.

Recovery & Follow-up

After treatment, the area may blister or scab as the wart tissue clears. Most patients heal within 1–2 weeks. Some warts—especially deeper plantar warts—may require multiple sessions. Follow-up visits help ensure full clearance and monitor for recurrence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT ARE PLANTAR WARTS?

Plantar warts are small, thick, raised growths that appear on the soles of the feet. They are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and often develop in pressure points such as the heel or ball of the foot. They can be painful, especially when walking or standing.

HOW DOES STUDIOMD DARIEN REMOVE PLANTAR WARTS?

At StudioMD Darien, we offer two effective medical treatments: CO₂ laser removal and cryotherapy. Both methods target the wart at its root to destroy the affected tissue and help prevent recurrence. Your provider will recommend the best option based on the size, depth, and location of the wart.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CO₂ LASER AND CRYOTHERAPY?

CO₂ Laser: Uses a precise beam of light to vaporize wart tissue with minimal impact on surrounding skin.
Cryotherapy: Uses liquid nitrogen to rapidly freeze and destroy the wart.
CO₂ laser is often preferred for stubborn or recurrent warts, while cryotherapy is common for smaller or first-time cases.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

The number of treatments varies. Small, superficial warts may require only one session, while deeper or longstanding plantar warts may need multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Your provider at StudioMD Darien will give guidance based on your individual case.

DOES THE TREATMENT HURT?

Most patients tolerate both CO₂ laser removal and cryotherapy well. You may feel brief stinging, warmth, or a cold sensation, depending on the method. Discomfort is usually mild and lasts only a few seconds.

HOW MUCH DOES TREATMENT COST?

Pricing depends on the size, depth, and number of warts, as well as the treatment method used. Because plantar warts vary significantly, an in-person evaluation at StudioMD Darien is recommended to provide an accurate cost estimate.

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

No. Plantar wart removal at StudioMD Darien is a cash-pay service only, and insurance is not accepted. Payment is due at the time of treatment.
