Journey Overview

Graphic of Genital Warts _ Clarewell Clinics

For patients who have filled out a pre-appointment questionnaire before booking and received a quote will be available for same day hyfrecation treatment.

#1 Pre-Appointment Questionnaire

Your journey starts by filling out our pre-appointment questionnaire. If you are interested in having your treatment on the same day as your consultation, we will ask you to submit photos along with the form.

#2 Receive a Quote

Once you have submitted your questionnaire and photos, our clinical team will review them. Following this review, we will provide you with a quote for the procedure ahead of your appointment.

#3 Consultation

During your in-person consultation, we will assess the area and discuss the hyfrecation procedure with you. This is the dedicated time to address any of your questions. We find that many patients have already been diagnosed elsewhere and are primarily seeking an effective treatment option.

#4 Procedure

If you decide to proceed, the treatment can typically be performed on the same day. We use local anaesthetic (either a numbing cream or an injection) to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once the area is completely numb, the lesions are carefully removed using hyfrecation, which leaves behind smooth skin with minimal downtime.

#5 Follow Up

One follow-up appointment within 4 weeks is included with your treatment. This allows us to assess the healing process and manage any remaining lesions. After your procedure, we will also provide you with an aftercare pack that includes skin wipes and gauze.

Our Method of Treatment

While Hyfrecation has been an established treatment method for over 80 years, it is less well-known than Laser in the UK for treating skin lesions. Hyfrecation is a minor surgical procedure that uses electrocautery to burn off skin lesions, resulting in their immediate clearance. Carried out under local anaesthesia, Hyfrecation is a very safe and effective procedure. To achieve the best results, a touch-up may sometimes be needed a couple of weeks later.

The procedure leaves a small, raw area which typically heals within a few days. As with any medical procedure, it is essential to be aware of possible side effects. Potential short-term side effects include bleeding, bruising, soreness, and infection. Long-term side effects are rare but can include changes in skin colour, scarring, the development of neuralgic pain, or a loss of sensation in the treated area.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a procedure this morning. The clinic was extremely comfortable, welcoming and relaxing. Dr Pradeev Jayadeva was extremely reassuring, professional and inspired confidence and a sense of ease. The procedure itself was completely painless and almost beyond sensation with the help of a little gas and air. I was in the clinic for well under an hour and probably on the bed for 5-6 minutes. Post op advice and care was excellent I left with extra dressings and painkillers, which I’ve not needed, 2hrs post procedure. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I was anxious before my appointment but there really was no reason to be as they look after you very well and are very friendly, will definetly be returning in the future.

The website was clear and informative, the booking process was quick and easy, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everything was explained clearly before the procedure, which was carried out beautifully and made me feel completely at ease. I couldn’t recommend them more. Five stars – thank you!

FAQs

Show All Answers

Do I need a consultation?

We understand that some of you may have been to your GP or GUM clinic for an examination (and possible diagnosis) and/or treatment.

However, before we offer any treatments it is essential that we have a thorough understanding of your medical health.

A few of these reasons include:

Confirming that you do in fact have genital warts, as we often see patients who have been told they have warts but in fact do not.
Ensuring that you do not have warts in areas which you have not noticed – e.g. we see patients who have their pubic warts diagnosed, but scrotal warts missed. This can mean you receive treatment for one area of the
Discuss how you can prevent getting genital warts again.

Do I need a referral letter from my GP?

No. You can book directly with us.

Can I get treatment in the same appointment?

Doctor appointments are approx. 30-45 minutes long.

This is enough time for most patients to have the consultation + receive treatment in the same appointment (saving another visit).

However, this entirely depends on how long is required on the consultation part of the appointment and whether it is safe to proceed with the treatment.

I am pregnant. Can I still get treatment?

We can offer you the above treatments during pregnancy, however the size and location of the warts can affect the treatment options suitable.

It is also important to note that warts recede soon after delivery, therefore you may wish to wait until after delivery.

Can my genital warts come back?

Genital warts can recur after treatment because the treatment only eradicates the symptoms of HPV, but not the HPV infection itself.

There is no cure for the HPV infection, you will still have the infection in your body despite any treatment you may have had for genital warts. The main way of clearing the infection is via a natural process, although it can be a chronic and long lasting infection for others.
