Procedure Overview
Expert Wart Removal in Dubai
Dubai Skin Clinic provides professional wart removal in Dubai for patients with common warts, facial warts, plantar warts, periungual warts, and other non-genital wart types. Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can spread to other areas of the body or to other people through contact.
Our consultant plastic surgeons, Dr Onur Gilleard and Dr Reza Alamouti, offer several advanced wart removal methods, including cryotherapy, electrocautery, surgical excision, and laser treatment. The most suitable method depends on the wart’s size, depth, location, and previous treatment history.

Who Is Wart Removal For?
Wart removal is generally recommended for people with warts that are painful, spreading, persistent, cosmetically bothersome, or located in areas where they catch, rub, or cause embarrassment.
Medical Reasons for Wart Removal
- Painful Warts: Warts on the feet or hands that cause discomfort
- Irritated Warts: Warts rubbed by clothing, shoes, or jewellery
- Bleeding Warts: Warts that bleed after being knocked or scratched
- Spreading Warts: Warts multiplying or appearing in new areas
- Persistent Warts: Warts that have not responded to pharmacy treatments
Cosmetic Reasons for Wart Removal
Facial wart removal is often requested because visible warts can affect confidence and self-esteem.
- Visible Location: Face, neck, hands, or other exposed areas
- Self-Consciousness: Impact on confidence and social interaction
- Professional Appearance: Concern in public-facing roles
- Personal Preference: Wanting smoother, clearer skin
Preventing Spread
Warts are contagious and can spread through direct contact, scratching, shaving, or shared surfaces. Professional treatment helps remove the visible wart and reduce the risk of further spread.
What Is a Wart, and What Causes Them?
Understanding Warts
A wart is a small, rough, non-cancerous skin growth caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts can develop on the hands, feet, face, around the nails, or other areas of the body.
They are usually skin-coloured, white, tan, brown, or slightly darker than the surrounding skin. They may be flat or raised and often have a rough, grainy surface. Some warts contain tiny black dots, which are small clotted blood vessels.
Physical Characteristics of Warts
- Appearance: Small, grainy bumps
- Colour: Flesh-coloured, white, pink, tan, or brown
- Texture: Rough or cauliflower-like surface
- Size: Usually small but can grow larger
- Black Dots: Tiny clotted blood vessels may be visible
Types of Warts
Common Warts
Common warts usually appear on the hands, fingers, and around the nails. They are raised, rough, and may occur alone or in clusters.
Plantar Warts
Plantar warts develop on the soles of the feet. They can grow inward because of pressure from walking and may become painful when standing or exercising.
Flat Warts
Flat warts are smaller and smoother than common warts. They often occur on the face, neck, hands, wrists, or knees and may appear in larger numbers.
Filiform Warts
Filiform warts are long, narrow, finger-like warts that often appear around the mouth, eyes, nose, or face. They can grow quickly and are often removed for cosmetic reasons.
Periungual Warts
Periungual warts occur around or under fingernails and toenails. They can be painful, difficult to treat, and may affect nail growth.
Genital Warts
Genital warts are caused by different HPV types and require confidential specialist care. Please see our genital wart removal page for more information.
What Causes Warts?
All warts are caused by HPV. The virus enters through small cuts, cracks, or weak areas in the skin, then causes infected skin cells to grow more quickly.
- Direct Contact: Touching a wart on yourself or another person
- Shared Items: Towels, razors, shoes, or nail tools
- Public Areas: Gyms, swimming pools, showers, and changing rooms
- Damaged Skin: Cuts, hangnails, shaving nicks, or cracked skin
- Auto-Inoculation: Scratching or shaving over a wart can spread it
Medical Wart Removal Methods in Dubai
Advanced techniques by expert plastic surgeons
The best wart removal method depends on the size, number, depth, and location of your warts. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate approach during consultation.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy wart tissue. The wart may blister, crust, and fall away as the skin heals. This method is often suitable for smaller warts or multiple small warts.
- No cutting required
- Quick treatment sessions
- May require more than one session
- Temporary blistering or soreness can occur
Electrocautery
Electrocautery uses controlled heat to destroy wart tissue. It can be useful for stubborn or thicker warts and is often performed under local anaesthetic for comfort.
- Precise treatment
- Useful for resistant warts
- Can help seal small blood vessels
- Requires careful wound care after treatment
Surgical Excision
Surgical wart removal involves cutting out the wart using a scalpel. It is typically used for large, deep, recurrent, or diagnostically uncertain warts.
- Immediate removal
- Useful for large or deep warts
- Tissue can be sent for analysis if needed
- May require stitches depending on size and location
Laser Wart Removal
Laser wart removal uses focused light energy to target wart tissue. It can be particularly useful for visible areas, including selected facial warts, where precision and scar minimisation are important.
- Precise and controlled
- Useful for facial or cosmetically sensitive areas
- Minimal impact on surrounding skin when suitable
- May require one or more sessions
What to Expect from Wart Removal
Your journey at Dubai Skin Clinic
Step One: Assessment and Consultation
Your assessment is carried out by one of our consultant plastic surgeons. The wart is examined to confirm the diagnosis, assess its size and location, and determine whether same-day treatment is suitable.
- Diagnosis confirmation
- Assessment of wart type and depth
- Discussion of suitable removal methods
- Explanation of aftercare and recovery
- Clear pricing before treatment
Step Two: Wart Removal Procedure
The treatment area is cleaned and prepared. Depending on the method used, local anaesthetic may be applied or injected. The wart is then treated using cryotherapy, electrocautery, surgical excision, or laser treatment.
Most wart removal procedures are completed in a short appointment, and you can usually return home the same day.
Step Three: Recovery
Recovery depends on the treatment method and the wart’s location. Mild soreness, redness, blistering, crusting, or scabbing may occur. Your surgeon will provide aftercare instructions specific to your procedure.
Step Four: Aftercare
Keep the area clean and covered as instructed. Avoid picking scabs, scratching the area, or using harsh skincare products while healing. Protect treated skin from sun exposure, especially after facial wart removal.
- Keep the area clean and dry
- Change dressings as advised
- Avoid picking or scratching
- Use sun protection once healed
- Contact the clinic if you notice infection signs
Wart Removal FAQs
Common questions about wart removal in Dubai
When should a wart be removed?
A wart may be removed if it is painful, spreading, bleeding, irritated, visible, affecting confidence, or has not responded to pharmacy treatment. Facial warts and plantar warts are common reasons for professional removal.
Are warts dangerous?
Common warts are generally benign and not dangerous. However, they are contagious and can spread. Any changing, bleeding, painful, or unusual skin growth should be assessed professionally to confirm the diagnosis.
Can warts come back after removal?
Yes, warts can recur because HPV may remain in nearby skin. Professional treatment removes the visible wart and reduces the risk of spread, but new warts can develop later.
What is the difference between common warts and genital warts?
Common warts usually occur on the hands, feet, face, or around the nails and are not sexually transmitted. Genital warts occur in the genital or anal area and require confidential STI-focused assessment and treatment.
How much does wart removal cost in Dubai?
At Dubai Skin Clinic, wart removal is priced at AED 1,500 (£300). Your surgeon will confirm the most appropriate treatment method during consultation.
