Every year 3.5 million people in the United States are treated for warts (known as verrucae). Have you had unsuccessful wart treatment before? Other doctors may have tried acids, cryogenics, chemical agents, and surgical excision on you but they all failed? Don’t fret: you aren’t alone and a successful treatment plan is in your future if you choose our experienced, Board certified staff to help you.

Other doctors may have failed you before but we are able to successfully remove what you may have, known as recalcitrant warts (commonly known as resistant warts), through state-of-the art pulse laser treatments. Clinical studies have proven that laser treatments are successful when other treatments have failed.

Pulse laser treatments shouldn’t be feared. Lasers are minimally invasive and won’t burden you with an open wound hindering your ability to walk and function. It can be used on all ages and skin types. In fact, by using lasers in combination with our 51 years of experience, we are able to get our patients back to their active lifestyles almost immediately and in as few as two treatments. Clinical studies have shown that two-thirds of resistant wart patients only needed two treatments with a laser.

So how does the pulse laser treatment work exactly? In order to remove your wart we use the heat energy created by the lasers to destroy it. More than that we use it to destroy the red blood cells that are “feeding” the wart so it doesn’t come back again. We do this by using a device that emits a tiny, but powerful pulse of light that is absorbed by the pigment within the red blood cells of the wart. The light is then directed at the wart using a pencil-like hand piece. By absorbing this light, the wart’s nutritional blood flow is then cut off. This means the laser has successfully obliterated the virus causing your wart at the base of the membrane.

The best part of all? The skin remains intact, which means no bleeding, no scarring and minimal chances of post-operative infection.

We also offer Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) as an alternative to surgery for those suffering from:

• Arthritic joints;
• Sports injuries
• Achilles tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis; and
• Other inflammatory ailments.

By using Plasma Therapy we help expedite your body’s healing process. Platelets are small, colorless cell fragments that are formed in the bone marrow and pass constantly through the blood stream. With a PRP injection, the platelets gather at the site of an injury and release a highly concentrated amount of beneficial proteins called growth factors to stimulate healing and alleviate your pain.

This state of the art procedure is so beneficial and time-effective that even busy celebrities like golfer Tiger Woods use it. PRP treatments take less than an hour. Only 10ml of your blood will be drawn so that we can put it into a centrifuge. After only five short minutes your platelets will have been separated from the red and white blood cells to make platelet rich plasma. Our staff will then use a specialized dual syringe to withdraw the newly made PRP and inject it into your problem area. By doing so we will stimulate and accelerate your bone and soft tissue healing.
