Laser removal of facial warts in Prague
A wart on the face is visible every day, and home treatment here cannot give a result without the risk of a scar or pigment spot.
Facial wart removal with a laser can be done precisely, gently and with an aesthetic result that helps the skin regain a clearer and more even look. Book this procedure and let us deal with the problem professionally.
Why choose our clinic for facial wart removal
The face is the most sensitive and visible part of the body. Any method that leaves scars or visible marks here is counterproductive. That is why choosing a clinic with experienced doctors and good equipment matters more here than anywhere else.
A gentle device suitable for the face
The erbium laser and the CO2 laser work with an adjustable depth suited to the thin skin of the face. The surrounding skin is spared as much as possible, even near the eyelids, nose or lips.
An outpatient procedure with no hospital stay
The whole procedure takes place at the surgery without a hospital stay. It takes no more than half an hour in total, and no sick leave is needed.
Minimal discomfort
Before the procedure we apply an anaesthetic cream or give a local anaesthetic injection. The laser treatment itself is then gentle and carried out with the patient's comfort in mind.
Experienced dermatologists
Facial procedures require medical precision and experience with sensitive areas. Each of our doctors specialises in laser dermatology and has many years of experience with facial growths.
Minimal risk of scarring
The laser targets only the wart tissue and spares the surrounding skin as much as possible. Proper aftercare significantly reduces the risk of scarring.
The check-up leaves nothing to chance
A check-up about three weeks after the treatment reviews the healing and whether the wart is coming back. The doctor assesses pigmentation and recommends additional care if needed.

Read reviews from people who came to our clinic about a wart on the face.
Personál byl milý, všechno provedli pečlivě a bez zbytečného spěchu. Po proceduře byla pleť čistší a svěžejší, s výsledkem jsem byl spokojený. Dobrá klinika, můžu ji v klidu doporučit.
Samotný zákrok probíhal velmi šetrně a profesionálně. Paní doktorka Tatiana byla naprosto skvělá — milá, pozorná, empatická a velmi profesionální. Po celou dobu se snažila, abych se cítila co nejlépe, a opravdu bylo vidět, že jí na pacientech záleží.
Jsem moc spokojená a určitě kliniku doporučuji dál. Děkuji!
Dnes jsem byla poprvé na výplni rtů kyselinou hyaluronovou a musím říct že jsem velmi spokojená. Personál byl moc milý, vše krásně vysvětlil a poradil. Zákrok byl velmi rychlý, ale kvalitní. Pokud bych si měla vybrat kliniku, kde bych si nechala znovu dělat nějaký esteticky zákrok, vybrala bych si znovu Altos. Ještě jednou moc děkuji! 😊
Také jsem byla u kosmetičky, po návštěvě jsem měla velmi příjemné pocity. Před začátkem procedury mi prohlédli pleť, vysvětlili, jaké má problémy a jak je možné je řešit. Chtěla jsem si nechat udělat ještě některé další služby, ale lékařka řekla, že to nemá smysl, protože mám pleť v dobrém stavu a nepotřebuje další pečující procedury. Oceňuji, že se na této klinice nesnaží vnucovat zbytečné služby a tahat z lidí peníze.

How laser removal of a facial wart works
Every facial procedure begins with a thorough dermatoscopic examination. The doctor assesses the type, depth and location of the growth and rules out an atypical mole or another lesion that needs a different approach. A full overview of the growths we treat on the face and body is on the page removal of fibromas and skin growths.
On the face the initial diagnostic stage is especially important, because confusing a wart with, for example, a pigmented growth could have serious consequences.
The procedure itself is then routine. The doctor applies an anaesthetic cream or gives a local anaesthetic injection. Near the eyelid or nose a cream with a longer action time is chosen to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Once the anaesthetic takes effect, the doctor sets the laser parameters precisely to the thickness of the facial skin and the nature of the specific wart.
The treatment takes from a few seconds for a small flat wart to about 10 minutes for a larger or deeper growth. The beam vaporises the wart tissue with millimetre precision and seals small vessels at the same time, so there is minimal bleeding. Afterwards the doctor disinfects the face and covers the area with a sterile plaster or gauze.
The patient then leaves with detailed home-care instructions and a date for the follow-up visit.
Recovery after the procedure
The face heals quickly after a laser procedure, because facial skin has a rich blood supply. Immediately after the treatment the area is red and slightly swollen; these symptoms usually subside within 24 to 48 hours. A scab forms in the first days and falls off after 5 to 10 days.
Never pick off the scab; the skin cells regenerate underneath it. Apply the regenerating cream recommended by the doctor and keep the area clean. Do not apply cosmetics, make-up or concealer to the treated area while it heals. Postpone strenuous activity and the sauna for at least a week.
Sun protection is a must on the face. Apply SPF 50 every morning for at least four weeks after the procedure; without protection there is a risk of hyperpigmentation, which is very noticeable on the face.
A follow-up visit three weeks after the procedure checks the healing, pigmentation and any recurrence.
FAQ - facial warts and their treatment
Before a facial procedure patients have some specific questions. Here are answers to the most common ones.
Can a facial wart go away on its own without treatment?
In a healthy adult with good immunity it can go away on its own, but this may take months.
In the meantime a facial wart easily spreads to other areas during shaving or applying make-up. We therefore do not recommend waiting and advise having the wart treated by a doctor.
How can I tell a facial wart from another skin growth?
A viral wart on the face usually has a coarse or rough surface and a slightly raised shape. A fibroma is soft, stalked and smooth.
A pigmented mole (melanocytic naevus) is usually evenly pigmented and flat or slightly raised.
Telling them apart with the naked eye is unreliable; a dermatoscopic examination gives a clear answer.
Can a wart be removed on sensitive areas of the face such as the eyelid or nose?
Yes, the laser can be used for removing a wart on the eyelid, provided the procedure is performed by an experienced doctor with the device set for sensitive skin.
Plasma and the erbium laser are especially gentle around the eyes and lips. Home acids or freezing sprays on the eyelid or near the nose, on the other hand, are not suitable.
You will find more about treating growths on the neck and face in the article how to remove small warts on the neck, which describes similar risks for sensitive skin.
Can facial warts spread to other parts of the body?
Yes, viral warts on the face spread through so-called self-infection. The virus passes from the wart into tiny scratches when shaving, rubbing the eyes or through hand contact.
Spreading to the neck or hands is fairly common with facial warts. Every time you touch the wart without washing your hands afterwards, the risk increases.
That is why it makes sense to have laser wart removal in Prague before the warts spread.
Who is most prone to facial warts?
Facial warts most often appear in people with weakened immunity, in people with eczema or atopic dermatitis, whose skin lacks a full protective barrier, and in those who shave regularly or share cosmetics.
Children and teenagers are more susceptible than adults with stable immunity. Shaving over an existing wart is one of the most common ways it spreads on the face.
The information on this page is general in nature and does not substitute for an in-person consultation with a doctor. The suitability of the procedure, its extent and any risks are assessed by the doctor individually at the first examination. Contraindications and results vary from case to case. If you have any health concerns, please seek advice from your own doctor.
