As you know, warts are a viral disease. You shook someone's hand, held onto a handrail in transport, used a towel of a family member or friend - and here's the trouble, one or more bumps appeared, rising above the level of the epidermis surface. Although most of them are not dangerous, they look unaesthetic, and can be transmitted to other people through contact. There are several options for their removal: in a cosmetology office or on your own. For the latter, CryoPharma for warts is suitable.
Indications CryoPharms for warts
The "Cryopharma" product is designed to remove flat and common warts localized on the hands, face, and other parts of the body, including the legs. It is known that the worst to remove are the nodules on the soles of the feet, but in this case, "Cryopharma" copes with plantar warts in 2-3 sessions.
Release form
The product is liquid nitrogen under pressure in a white canister, which comes with a cap and 12 applicators. The country of origin is the Netherlands, the volume is 35 ml. This form is very convenient for self-removal of warts. [ 1 ]
Dosing and administration
"Cryopharm" is very convenient to use: one of the sponge applicators is inserted into the removed cap, and then put back on the balloon. With one press, which lasts 3-5 seconds, the applicator freezes and is pressed against the wart. The time the sponge remains on the neoplasm depends on its type, size and location.
So, plantar warts will take more time than others - 40 seconds. Other types, less than 2.5 mm in size, freeze for 10 seconds, 2.5-5 mm - 15 seconds, more than 5 mm - 20 seconds.
In most cases, one session is enough for them to disappear (except for plantar warts). If after 2 weeks this has not happened, the procedure is repeated without harm to health.
