Laser In on Wart Removal

Laser surgery

If you love stories, art, or music, you’ll want to be part of “Life Stories” – an event on January 25 that encourages teens and older adults to share their stories with each other. It is sponsored by the Sammamish Arts Commission, EX3 Teen Center, and the "Y." Writers, artists, and musicians will help participants tell their stories through poetry, visual arts, and music. Everyone has a story to tell, and how fun to share those in new ways and learn more about each other!

Of course, sometimes we don’t wish to share our whole story. We are often hesitant to talk about things that embarrass us – like those wartson our hands or feet. In fact, worry over how we look to others and what they might think about those unsightly growths can interfere with our enjoyment of life. Beyond that, a plantar wart on the sole of the foot can be annoying or even painful: it feels like you have a stone in your shoe and makes it hard to walk, run, or play your favorite sport. Warts can be contagious, so getting rid of them quickly is good for all concerned.

Thankfully, there is help! Dr. Howard Schaengold specializes in laser surgery for wart removal. The laser is a concentrated beam of light that is aimed at the cells of the wart without damaging other tissue. The beam heats up the water in the cells until they vaporize, but all you feel is a warm sensation – not pain. It’s quick and effective, and you will usually be able to walk out the door as you came in – minus the wart! We may also use ointments or oral medications along with the laser for the best possible outcome.

Bothered by warts? Don’t wait and hope they’ll go away on their own. Write them out of your story today! Contact The Plateau Foot & Ankle Clinic in Sammamish at (425) 868-3338, and set up a time to visit our office. We also serve patients in Redmond, Issaquah, and Bellevue.
