WARTS, VERRUCA & FUNGAL NAIL TREATMENT
Treat warts, verrucae and fungal nail infections safely
If you have a wart, verruca or fungal nail infection that just will not shift, it can start to feel frustrating and never-ending. For many people, the biggest discomfort is not always pain, but self-consciousness, especially when hands, feet or nails are on show.
Warts, verruca and fungal nail infections are common and harmless but can be stubborn, unsightly and sometimes uncomfortable. They can make you feel self-conscious or reluctant to show your hands or feet, especially in social or professional settings.
At Beyoo Medical Aesthetics in Lancaster, we provide medical-grade treatments to safely remove or reduce warts and verruca and to help clear fungal nail infections. All treatments are performed by our experienced medical and skin team, ensuring precision, safety and effective results.
Book your consultation in Lancaster and we will assess the area and recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
Why patients seek help
Patients often come to us because they have tried over-the-counter products or home remedies without success. These conditions can linger for months or even years, spreading to other areas or between family members.
Common reasons for seeking treatment include:
- Long-standing warts or verruca that have not responded to shop-bought treatments
- Discomfort when walking or exercising due to verruca on the feet
- Rough or raised warts on the hands, knees or elbows
- Thickened, discoloured nails caused by fungal infection
- Embarrassment about the appearance of nails, hands or feet
These are extremely common problems, and professional treatment can make a real difference to both comfort and confidence.
If you have tried everything at home, book a professional assessment and we will talk you through your options.
What causes them
Warts and Verruca
Both are caused by strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which infects the upper layer of the skin.
- Warts tend to appear on the hands, knees or elbows as small, rough growths.
- Verruca are the same virus affecting the soles of the feet and can appear flat due to pressure from walking.
They spread easily through direct contact or shared surfaces, such as showers or swimming areas.
Fungal Nail Infection
Fungal nail infections occur when dermatophyte fungi invade the nail bed. This causes nails to become thickened, brittle, yellow or brown and sometimes painful. They can spread between toes or from the skin (athlete’s foot).
Treatment options at Beyoo
At Beyoo, we use CryoPen® and medical-grade laser therapy to treat warts, verruca and fungal nail infections safely and effectively.
CryoPen® for Warts and Verruca
The CryoPen® uses a fine jet of nitrous oxide to freeze the affected tissue precisely. This destroys the infected cells while leaving healthy surrounding skin untouched.
CryoPen® can treat:
- Common warts
- Plantar verruca on the feet
- Filiform or raised warts on the hands or face (where suitable)
Treatment time: 10 to 20 minutes
Downtime: minimal; a small blister or crust may form and heal within 7 to 10 days
Results: lesions typically clear after one to three sessions
Cryotherapy is quick, safe and suitable for both adults and children.
Laser for Fungal Nail Infection
We use a medical-grade Nd:YAG laser to treat fungal nail infections without the need for oral medication. The laser light penetrates the nail plate, heating and destroying the fungal cells while stimulating healthy nail growth.
Treatment time: 20 to 30 minutes for both feet or hands
Downtime: none
Results: clearer nails gradually grow through over several months
Multiple sessions are usually required, as improvement continues with the natural nail growth cycle.
What to expect
- Consultation: Your appointment begins with a consultation and examination by our experienced skin and medical team. We will confirm the diagnosis and recommend the most suitable treatment option for your condition.
- Treatment: CryoPen® is applied directly to warts or verrucae, or laser energy is delivered through the nail plate for fungal infections. Treatments are quick, comfortable and require no anaesthetic.
- Aftercare: You can return to normal activities straight away. We will provide aftercare guidance to keep the area clean and protected while it heals.
Recovery & results
CryoPen® treatment may cause mild redness, tingling or blistering for a few days. The area then forms a small crust that falls away naturally. Most warts and verruca clear within one to three treatments.
Laser treatment for fungal nails has no downtime. Improvement develops gradually as new, healthy nail grows through. Most patients see visible changes within two to three months, with full results over six to nine months.
Safety & reassurance
All treatments at Beyoo are performed by qualified medical professionals in a clinical environment. We use only medical-grade CryoPen® and Nd:YAG laser technology, both widely used in hospitals and dermatology clinics for precision and safety.
Your treatment will always begin with a full consultation and clear aftercare plan to ensure the best outcome.

IN PATIENTS' WORDS

“I was embarrassed about my toenails for so long. The laser treatment was quick and easy, and they’re already looking so much healthier.”
Frequently asked questions
How many treatments will I need?
Most warts and verruca clear within one to three CryoPen® sessions. Fungal nail infections usually need a course of laser treatments as the nail grows.
Is treatment painful?
CryoPen® feels cold and may tingle briefly, but discomfort is minimal. Laser treatment for nails feels warm but not painful.
Is there downtime?
There is no downtime. Cryotherapy may cause mild redness or blistering that heals naturally within a few days.
Can the infection come back?
Fungal infections can recur if shoes or socks remain contaminated. We will provide advice on preventing reinfection and maintaining healthy nails.

You can find our up-to-date prices on our clinic Price List.
