What warts are
Warts are small, rough, raised growths on the skin, caused by a common virus (HPV). They're harmless, but they can spread to other parts of your body or to other people through close contact. Many clear up by themselves eventually, but that can take months or years.
People often want them removed because they:
- sit on hands and fingers where everyone sees them
- catch, crack or get sore
- keep spreading or coming back despite creams and freezing kits
- appear on the face, including thin, thread-like warts around the mouth, nose or eyelids
What we treat: common warts and flat or thread-like warts on the hands, fingers, face and body. We also treat genital warts, discreetly and in private. Just mention it when you book, or at your consultation. We'd also recommend a check-up at a sexual health clinic.
What we don't treat: verrucas (warts on the soles of the feet). For verrucas, a podiatrist can help.
How treatment works
We use advanced electrolysis: the tip of a very fine needle, about the size of an eyelash, is placed into the wart and releases a tiny energy current. This dries up and destroys the wart, which then disappears. Treatment takes place at City Aesthetics Clinic in Newcastle city centre.
- Free consultation. Your nurse looks at your warts, confirms they're suitable for treatment and answers your questions. There's no obligation, and you can go away and think about it.
- Treatment. In the same 30-minute appointment, your nurse treats as many warts as time allows. The time needed depends on the size and number of warts, and your nurse will tell you at your consultation whether they can be treated in one session.
- Healing. Expect some redness after treatment. Small scabs can form, and these drop off within a few days.
- Free top-up. Warts can be stubborn. If any need further treatment, you can come back free of charge within 8 weeks. And if you have any concerns, or would just like your nurse to take a look, you're welcome to come back free of charge.
What it feels like: most people find it very tolerable. Some people find it uncomfortable, and fingertips and the face can be more sensitive than other areas.
Aftercare: keep the area clean and dry, and don't pick at it. Your nurse will explain everything before you leave. There's no downtime, so you can carry on with your usual day straight after.
Prices
You pay for a 30-minute session with a registered nurse, not per wart, so several warts can be treated for one price.
| What's included | Price |
|---|---|
| 30-minute session: free consultation plus as many warts as time allows | £150 |
| Top-up within 8 weeks, if any warts need it | Free |
The price stays the same however many warts are treated in the session. Everything is fully explained at your consultation, so you understand the cost and there are no surprises. No packages to buy upfront.

Frequently asked questions
How much does wart removal cost?
£150 for a 30-minute session, including a free consultation and a free top-up within 8 weeks if needed. You pay per session, not per wart.
Will the NHS or my GP remove my warts?
Usually not. Warts are harmless and often clear by themselves, so the NHS rarely removes them. Private treatment is the usual option if they bother you.
Do you treat verrucas?
No. We treat warts on the hands, face and body only. For verrucas on the feet, a podiatrist is the best person to see.
Does it hurt?
Most people find it very tolerable. Some people find it uncomfortable, and fingertips and the face can be more sensitive.
Will it leave a scar?
The area may scab while it heals. As with any skin treatment, there is a small risk of scarring that can't be ruled out. Your nurse will explain what you can expect at your consultation.
How many appointments will I need?
It depends on the size and number of warts. Your nurse will tell you at your consultation whether they can be treated in one session. If any need a top-up, it's free within 8 weeks.
Will my warts come back?
Everyone is different, so we can't promise they won't come back. Treated warts can return, and because warts are caused by a virus, new ones can appear. Your nurse will talk you through what to expect.
I've tried freezing kits and creams. Is this different?
Yes. Advanced electrolysis is carried out by a registered nurse, who can treat each wart precisely. It can be much safer and more effective to be treated by a professional.
Do you treat children?
No. We only treat people aged 18 and over, for all treatments.
When to see your GP first
If you have any concerns, we always encourage you to visit your GP or healthcare provider first, especially if a growth:
- is changing in size, shape or colour, or bleeds
- is painful, or looks different from your other warts
- appeared suddenly in large numbers
- is something you're not sure about
Our nurses won't treat anything that needs checking by a doctor.
