Laser treatment for plantar warts Phoenix

Tired of stubborn plantar warts? There’s a modern way to treat them that works. No freezing, cutting, or downtime.

What Are Plantar Warts?

Plantar warts are small growths that appear on the soles of your feet, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Because of their location, they often grow inward due to pressure from standing or walking — and they can be painful, unsightly, and persistent.

Why Traditional Wart Treatments Don’t Always Work

You may have tried:

Drugstore wart removers
Freezing (cryotherapy)
Cantharidin “blistering” treatments
Even cutting out the wart through surgery

While these options can work, they often require many treatments, come with possibly a lot of pain, and don't always target the root of the problem, the blood supply feeding the wart.

A Modern Alternative: Laser Treatment for Plantar Warts

At Direct Podiatry Arizona, we use precision laser therapy to treat plantar warts safely and effectively. Laser energy targets the tiny blood vessels that feed the wart, cutting off its nutrient supply. Over time, the wart naturally shrinks and falls off, with little damage to surrounding tissue.

Benefits of Laser Wart Treatment

✅ Non-invasive. No needles, no cutting

✅ No harsh acids or freezing

✅ Minimal discomfort

✅ No downtime. Walk out and resume your day

✅ Safe for most ages and skin types

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

While some warts go away with just one session, more stubborn or warts that have been around for a while may need several treatments spaced a few weeks apart. During your consultation, we’ll look at your specific situation and create a plan tailored to you.

Is Laser Treatment Right for You?

Laser wart treatment may be a great option if:

Other plantar wart treatments haven't worked
You want to have surgery or use strong acids
You’re looking for a more gentle treatment that works
