Of Clinical Experience

Established in 1999

Wart removal from £295, with a £50 doctor consultation that comes off the cost of treatment. Most warts are removed at the same visit.

Warts removed surgically by Dr Vadim Corjos at our Richmond and Belgravia clinics, using the same equipment we use for minor surgery. From £295, with the consultation redeemable in full.

Why the ones you have are still there

Most people arrive having already spent months on salicylic acid, freezing kits from the pharmacy, duct tape and patience. Those work on plenty of warts, which is why they are worth trying first. They fail on the stubborn ones, and the stubborn ones are the ones that end up in front of us: warts that have been there a year or more, warts that have spread from one to several, warts on the sole of the foot that hurt to stand on, and warts on hands and faces that people have simply had enough of looking at.

A wart is a skin growth caused by human papillomavirus infecting the top layer of skin. The virus is common, most people clear it eventually on their own, and eventually can mean two years. Removing the wart deals with the lesion in one appointment rather than waiting the infection out.

What we treat, and what we do not

We treat common warts on the hands, fingers, arms, body and face, plantar warts and verrucas on the soles of the feet, filiform warts, and clusters where several have appeared in one area. We also treat seborrhoeic keratoses, sometimes called seborrhoeic warts, which are not viral at all and are covered on our seborrhoeic keratosis page.

We do not treat genital or anal warts. Those are caused by sexually transmitted strains of HPV and need managing as an infection, not as a lesion, which means sexual health screening, advice about partners and follow-up we are not set up to provide. If that is what you have, we will tell you at the consultation and explain where to go. Removing the visible wart without addressing the infection is the wrong treatment, however tempting it looks.

How we remove them

Assessment first. Dr Corjos examines the lesion and confirms it is a wart. Not everything that looks like one is: seborrhoeic keratoses, corns, calluses, molluscum and occasionally something that needs a dermatology opinion all get mistaken for warts. If it is not what you think it is, you will be told.

Local anaesthetic. Dr Corjos numbs the area with a few tiny injections. Those sting briefly, like a small scratch, and that is the only part most patients feel. After that the area is completely numb, and you will feel pressure and nothing sharp.

Removal. We use the Surtron 160, a radiofrequency electrosurgical unit, which cauterises as it removes so there is little or no bleeding. On some lesions Dr Corjos will excise with a scalpel and cauterise afterwards, and on others a hybrid of the two works best. He decides that on the day, lesion by lesion.

Dressing and aftercare. A small dressing goes on and you are told how to look after it. Most people go straight back to work.

Verrucas are different, and we will say so

Plantar warts on the sole of the foot grow inwards under the pressure of walking, sit under a thick layer of callus, and are genuinely harder to clear than a wart on a finger. They are more likely to need a second visit, and anyone promising you a guaranteed single-session cure on a long-standing verruca is overselling it. What we can tell you is whether it is worth treating surgically at all, which is a more useful answer than most people get.

Warts can come back, and here is why

Removal takes away the lesion. It does not remove HPV from your skin, and the virus can produce another wart nearby, particularly if you had several to begin with or if your immune system is suppressed. Most people treated for a single wart have no further trouble. If you have had crops of them over years, expect to be told that honestly rather than sold a cure.

Who treats you

Wart removal at Bodyvie is performed by Dr Vadim Corjos (GMC 7822977), a cosmetic surgeon with fifteen years of surgical practice across general, trauma and reconstructive surgery. He consults, treats and reviews you himself. You are not handed to a therapist on the day.

What it costs

A doctor consultation is £50, paid when you book online and redeemable in full against the cost of treatment. Removal is from £295 for the first wart, with each additional wart treated in the same appointment at £75. Several in one sitting is therefore considerably cheaper than coming back for each one.

Published prices at London clinics for the same procedure commonly start around £500. The same pricing applies at Richmond and at Belgravia.

Frequently asked questions

Does wart removal hurt?

The area is numbed first with a few tiny injections of local anaesthetic. The injections sting briefly, like a small scratch, and that is the part most patients feel. Once the anaesthetic has worked the removal itself is not painful and you will feel only pressure. Afterwards it is usually sore rather than painful, and ordinary painkillers are enough.

How much does wart removal cost?

From £295 for the first wart, and £75 for each additional wart treated in the same appointment. The doctor consultation is £50, paid when you book and redeemable in full against treatment.

Will it leave a scar?

Any removal leaves a mark. On most sites it fades to something barely visible over a few months. Dr Corjos will tell you what to expect for your particular lesion and its position before anything is done.

Can you remove a verruca in one visit?

Sometimes, but long-standing verrucas on the sole of the foot are harder and may need a second visit. We would rather tell you that at the consultation than promise a single session and be wrong.

Do you treat genital or anal warts?

No. Those are caused by sexually transmitted strains of HPV and need managing as an infection, with sexual health screening and advice about partners. We will tell you if that is what you have and explain where to go.

Can I get warts removed on the NHS?

Rarely. Warts are usually considered cosmetic or self-limiting unless they are causing significant symptoms, so most people who want them dealt with go privately, and no GP referral is needed.

How soon can I go back to work?

The same day, in almost every case. A verruca on a weight-bearing part of the foot may be uncomfortable to walk on for a few days.

Book a private consultation with Dr Vadim Corjos at our Belgravia clinic on West Halkin Street, SW1, or at Richmond. A female chaperone is present throughout.
