Wart Treatment and Wart Removal in Vienna
Warts (Latin: Verrucae) are an excessive and disordered new growth of skin. They are caused by pathogens from the human papillomavirus (HPV) group and poxviruses, which enter through small skin injuries or via the mucous membranes. They mainly occur on the hands, feet and in the genital area.
Although most warts are benign, they can cause more or less severe discomfort depending on the affected skin site, the number and size of the warts.
However, there are also those that are not infectious but are genetically determined or harmless local skin mutations. Although these are not warts in the strict sense, they are still referred to as such. They are removed exclusively for cosmetic reasons, as they can occur all over the body and can therefore be very visually bothersome.
Treatments & Therapies
The right treatment for all warts
Depending on the type and extent of the wart, there are several removal options. The dermatologist decides which treatment is appropriate after a thorough examination.
We distinguish the following types of warts:
Viral warts/Virus acanthoma
All viral warts are transmitted by smear infection. Therefore, affected persons should take some precautions to avoid further infections to themselves or others. It is best to leave the warts alone or cover them with a breathable plaster to avoid touching them constantly.
From the time of infection to the formation of warts, weeks to months can pass. The tendency to develop warts depends on the immune system. While people with an intact immune system get rid of warts very quickly, or don't get them at all, immunocompromised individuals and children usually struggle with this viral infection for a long time.
Several types of viral warts/virus acanthomas are distinguished:
Non-infectious warts
They are not transmissible and are removed purely for aesthetic reasons, as there is no medical necessity. Harmless non-infectious warts can sometimes look quite similar to malignant skin changes. Dermatologists can usually classify these at a glance. In case of doubt, a skin biopsy is performed.
Corns
In addition to warts, we also treat other bothersome skin changes such as corns (Clavus), which arise from pressure points. They are often confused with warts but differ in their non-infectious cause. A precise diagnosis is important because warts and corns can look similar.

FAQs
Warts are benign skin growths caused by an infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV). They commonly occur on the hands, feet, or face. Warts are contagious and can spread if left untreated.
Several types of warts are distinguished:
- Common warts (Verrucae vulgares)
- Plantar warts (Verrucae plantares)
- Flat warts (Verrucae planae)
- Genital warts (Condylomata acuminata)
- Filiform warts (Verrucae filiformes)
- Molluscum contagiosum
- Seborrhoeic keratoses (age warts)
- Skin tags
The treatment strategy always depends on the type, location and size of the wart.
Depending on the type and extent of the warts, our experienced dermatologists will create an individually tailored treatment plan after a thorough assessment.
- Topical therapy with acetylsalicylic acid or 5-fluorouracil
- Cryotherapy (freezing therapy)
- Ablation by electrocoagulation or laser
- Surgical procedure
We always choose the method that is gentlest on your skin while also being the most effective.
The pain depends on the chosen method and the location of the wart. Many treatments are barely painful or are performed with local anesthesia, so they are very well tolerated.
This depends on the type of wart and its severity. Smaller warts can often be removed in a single session. Stubborn or deep-seated warts sometimes require multiple sessions.
After treatment, it can take several days to weeks for the skin to fully heal. Our doctors will give you detailed care instructions to support a quick and complication-free recovery.
Since most warts are caused by viruses, they can theoretically recur. However, thorough treatment and a strengthened immune system significantly reduce the likelihood. Infectious warts include: common warts (Verrucae vulgares), plantar warts (Verrucae plantares), flat warts (Verrucae planae), genital warts (Condylomata acuminata), filiform warts (Verrucae filiformes), molluscum contagiosum.
Yes, many warts are contagious. Warts can be transmitted through direct skin contact or indirectly — e.g. via shared towels or floors in swimming pools. Early treatment prevents them from spreading further. Infectious warts are: common warts (Verrucae vulgares), plantar warts (Verrucae plantares), flat warts (Verrucae planae), genital warts (Condylomata acuminata), filiform warts (Verrucae filiformes), molluscum contagiosum.
After wart treatment, mild redness, swelling, or crusting may occur, which usually subsides quickly. In rare cases scarring may occur; however, this is minimized by gentle techniques.
The costs depend on the size, number and location of the warts as well as the chosen method. The initial consultation / wart treatment consultation at JUVENIS starts at €190. Further costs depend on the treatment method agreed during the consultation.
An individual cost plan will be prepared for you during the consultation.
Depending on the findings, partial reimbursement by the health insurance may be possible, as in some cases it is a medically necessary treatment. You will receive an invoice to submit.
At JUVENIS, all wart treatments are performed by experienced dermatologists who have extensive expertise in medical dermatology and laser therapy. We use state-of-the-art equipment and particularly gentle techniques to achieve effective, safe and minimally scarring results — in a professional and trusting atmosphere.

In our JUVENIS practice a particularly impressive case was recently successfully treated by Dr. Tamara Kopp: Despite eight cryotherapy treatments (freezing), the wart persisted. Only through targeted treatment with the Nd:YAG laser could the problem finally be completely resolved. After five laser treatments a full healing was ultimately achieved — as the before-and-after pictures clearly show. The Nd:YAG laser offers a very effective way to treat warts that do not respond sufficiently to conventional methods.
