The Effectiveness of Class IV Laser Therapy for Verruca: A New Treatment Option at Stride

Verrucae, or plantar warts, can be a real pain—literally. These small but stubborn growths on the soles of your feet, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), can be difficult to treat with traditional methods like cryotherapy or salicylic acid. But at Stride, we’ve taken a big step forward in fighting verrucae by investing in a Class IV laser—a powerful, cutting-edge treatment that’s showing incredible results. Curious about how this new technology works and how it can help you? Read on!

What is Class IV Laser Therapy?

Class IV laser therapy uses a high-powered laser that penetrates deep into tissues to promote healing and reduce inflammation. It’s commonly used to treat muscle and joint pain, but its application for treating verrucae is gaining attention due to its effectiveness. Unlike lower-powered lasers, the Class IV laser operates at a higher wattage, delivering greater power for faster and more effective treatment. This is why we chose it for our clinic—because we believe in offering the best, most efficient care possible.

How Does Class IV Laser Therapy Work on Verrucae?

Class IV laser therapy targets the blood supply feeding the verruca, using heat to destroy HPV-infected cells and surrounding tissue. The laser stimulates your body’s immune response, promoting faster healing while minimizing the risk of recurrence. Essentially, it tackles verrucae at their root, offering a highly effective solution for both new and persistent warts.

Why We Chose Class IV Laser Therapy at Stride

After seeing the research and hearing from patients who’ve tried this therapy, we knew we had to bring it to Stride. Class IV laser therapy offers so many benefits for treating verrucae:

1. Pinpoint Precision: The laser focuses directly on the verruca, leaving surrounding healthy tissue untouched. 🦶
2. Non-Invasive: No needles, no cutting—just powerful light doing its job. Patients often report little to no discomfort during the treatment. 🔆
3. Faster Healing: Many traditional treatments can leave the skin raw and require long recovery times. With Class IV laser therapy, you’re back on your feet faster! ⏱️
4. Effective for Stubborn Verrucae: Tried everything with no luck? Class IV laser therapy is particularly good at treating verrucae that haven’t responded to other treatments.

What the Research Says

Some studies have shown Class IV laser therapy to have a success rate of 70-90% in treating verrucae, often after just a few sessions. Compare this to the sometimes hit-or-miss results of cryotherapy or salicylic acid treatments, and it’s easy to see why we’ve made the investment.
