The lesion will vaporize at certain settings and will burn at higher settings. Can be used as a cutting tool. Repeatedly puncturing the lesion with a needle. My best results have been achieved with Pulse Dye Laser but only when used on the right patient. Failed treatments with other modalities that created scars, makes treating with noninvasive lasers like the Pulse Dye laser more difficult.
Compliance is very important.
Home treatments can be unsafe, take a long time and often fail. Plantar warts are often a misdiagnosed and mistreated foot related problem.
