Warts Removal treatment
Safe, Professional Solutions for Stubborn Warts
Eliminate the hassle of stubborn warts with professional care by our wart removal doctors. Caused by viral infections, warts can be difficult to address with at-home treatments and may lead to discomfort or self-consciousness. At Advanced Skin Doctors, we offer tailored wart removal services designed to meet your unique needs.
Our experienced doctors use FotoFinder imaging as part of a comprehensive skin cancer check, ensuring precise assessments of all skin growths. For advanced treatment, our Mulgrave clinic offers Ellman Pelleve Electrosurgery, a minimally invasive solution known for minimal discomfort, and optimal results, making it an excellent option for wart related treatment.
Please note: We do not treat children under 16 or warts located on fingers or toes. Choose Advanced Skin Doctors for trusted and effective warts removal in Melbourne.
What is a Wart?
A wart is a harmless skin growth caused by specific strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a contagious virus. HPV prompts excess skin cell growth, resulting in thickened lesions that can vary in size and appearance. While warts commonly develop on the hands or feet, they can occur anywhere on the body. Although typically harmless, they may persist for years or disappear without treatment.
How Do Warts Spread?
Warts spread through direct contact with a wart or indirectly via surfaces contaminated with the virus, such as towels, gym showers, or swimming pools. The virus can enter the skin through tiny cuts or weakened areas, triggering a wart’s development. However, not everyone exposed to HPV will develop warts, as susceptibility varies. Practising good hygiene, such as washing hands regularly and covering cuts, can help lower the risk of contracting or spreading warts.
Benefits of Wart Treatment
This treatment provides several benefits, enhancing both comfort and well-being:
Enhanced Comfort
Warts, especially those on pressure points like feet, can cause irritation during daily activities. Removing them restores comfort and makes movement easier.
Improved Appearance
Warts can affect self-confidence, particularly when visible. Removing them smooths the skin, improving cosmetic appearance and boosting self-esteem.
Reduced Transmission
Removing warts lowers the risk of spreading the virus to others, protecting family members and the community from infection.
Prevention of Long-Term Issues
Left untreated, warts can lead to complications, such as altered posture when avoiding pressure on a foot wart. Over time, this may result in discomfort elsewhere in the body. Removing the wart helps prevent such long-term effects.
Take the first step toward smoother, healthier skin and protect yourself and others from the discomfort and risks of persistent warts.
Wart Removal Treatment and Procedures
Getting rid of stubborn warts doesn’t have to be a challenge. At Advanced Skin Doctors, we provide safe, effective wart treatment and removal solutions to meet your unique needs. The doctors carefully assess the size, location, and nature of the wart to recommend the most suitable wart treatment for your condition. Here’s what we offer at our Melbourne clinics:
- Ellman Pelleve Electrosurgery
For precise and minimally invasive wart removal, this advanced procedure uses radiofrequency electrocautery to target warts while protecting the surrounding healthy skin. Local anaesthetic ensures your comfort, and the device cauterises blood vessels to minimise bleeding and inflammation. This technique promotes quick recovery and optimal cosmetic results while reducing the risk of infection. Please note this treatment is exclusively available at our Mulgrave clinic.
- Excision
Excision offers a straightforward surgical option. After numbing the area with local anaesthetic, the doctor removes the wart along with a small margin of healthy skin to ensure thorough excision.
- Cryotherapy
Also known as liquid nitrogen therapy, cryotherapy freezes and destroys warts quickly and effectively. Liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the wart, freezing the tissue and stopping its growth. Multiple sessions may be required depending on the size and depth of the wart to fully address the virus at its root.
At Advanced Skin Doctors, we’re committed to helping you achieve healthier, more comfortable skin. Whether you’re dealing with persistent warts or need expert care, our services are designed with your well-being in mind.

Ellman Pellevé
Enhancing Cosmetic Skin Lesion Removal with Ellman Pellevé Electrosurgery
The Ellman Pelleve is a Radio-Frequency (RF) electrosurgical tool used to remove benign raised skin lesions for cosmetic purposes. Moles, warts, seborrheic keratoses, skin tags, and other suitable benign skin lesions can be removed this way.
- Your doctor will determine if the lesion is suitable for this treatment.
- In some cases, a mole may contain deeper pigmentation, requiring a minor surgical procedure to ensure complete removal
- A small dose of local anesthetic is infiltrated into the skin under the lesion.
- Removal generally takes a matter of minutes.
- The area may remain reddened and require dressings for up to 7-10 days.
- Your doctor and nurse will discuss post-procedure skin care with you.
The benefits of Ellman Pellevé RF removal include:
- Less bleeding, swelling, and scarring compared to scalpel removal
- Improved cosmetic outcome as nearby normal skin is mostly unaffected
- Higher safety profile than scalpel removal due to the reduced risk of infection
- No requirement for sutures
- Excised tissue can still be sent for histopathology, although Ellman Pellevé is NOT generally used for excision biopsy of suspected skin cancers
