The Wartner Corn & Callus Pen should be applied once daily for 4 days. After this treatment of 4 days, the skin will peel off over the next 4 days. You can carefully remove the peeling skin under lukewarm water. After the treatment, new skin (free from corns or calluses) will form. You can repeat this treatment schedule up to 4 times.
When the Corn Pen is used for the first time, it is necessary to fully turn the dial on the top of the pen clockwise to load the gel into the brush tip until the first drop is visible. Multiple turns might be needed as the gel is stored at the top of the Pen (to avoid leakage prior to first treatment).
STEP 1
Hold the pen vertically with the brush tip facing downwards. Slowly turn/click the dial on the top of the Pen clockwise to dispense the gel.
STEP 2
Allow the gel to flow into the brush tip for 3 to 5 seconds
STEP 3
Carefully apply the dispensed gel only on the corn or callus (not on healthy skin surrounding it)
STEP 4
Let the gel dry for 10-15 minutes before putting on clothes or shoes. The Wartner Corn & Callus Pen formula is very concentrated and only one drop is needed per application. Carefully cover the entire surface of the corn or callus and not the healthy skin surrounding it. Once the treatment is completed, carefully clean the pen with a tissue before storage.
No. The Wartner Corn Pen should be used with precision, but it’s not difficult. The information leaflet explains exactly how you should use the Wartner Corn Pen.
The Wartner Corn Pen contains a gel formulation based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA). It comes with a easy to use pen applicator with a twist-and-turn mechanism to dispense the correct amount of gel to be applied on the corn (or callus).
Discomfort during use: a stinging sensation may occur when the gel formulation is left on the skin. This stinging sensation will fade within 10-15 minutes after application.
Scars and nerve damage: this will only occur from careless use caused by not following the instructions on the information leaflet. Never use the Wartner Verruca & Wart Removal Pen on healthy tissue, as TCA is a highly corrosive agent that will damage normal skin.
In case the wart is very small and the treatment is maintained too long or too frequent, TCA may cause peeling of the deeper layers of the skin. If that occurs, the treatment should be immediately stopped. Thanks to natural regenerative properties of the skin this damage is not permanent, and new & healthy skin will form.
Wartner Wart & Verruca Remover contains an aerosol can with a mixture of dimethyl ether and propane, an applicator holder and foam applicators and a file to remove calloused skin on top of the verruca prior to the treatment.
Wartner Wart & Verruca Remover works in a similar way to the liquid nitrogen freezing method used by GPs. The freezing agent is applied to the foam applicator; you then freeze the wart or verruca by applying the saturated foam applicator for a few seconds. As a result of this freezing, the growth should fall off after about 10-14 days. Wartner Wart & Verruca Remover is not harmful to the environment.
Hold the blue end of the foam applicator between the thumb and index finger and squeeze until a small opening appears. Slide the opening of the foam applicator onto the stick of the applicator holder until the stick is no longer visible.
STEP 2
Hold the aerosol can in an upright position, away from your body and from incandescent flames, heat, direct sunlight and any electrical sources. Place the applicator holder with the foam applicator in the opening on the top of the aerosol can so that the foam applicator is no longer visible. Holding the aerosol can with one hand at the bottom, firmly press down the applicator holder with the other hand for 3 seconds (count from 21 to 23). You will hear a hissing sound whilst pressing. Remove the applicator holder with the foam applicator from the valve. The foam applicator is saturated with cold liquid and condensation will form. This condensation is harmless.
STEP 3
After saturation of the foam applicator, wait for 20 sec before topical application in order to further reduce application temperature and thus ensuring better efficacy.
STEP 4
After the 20 seconds waiting time, push the applicator holder with the foam applicator lightly on the wart (or verruca).
For Warts: Apply for 20 seconds
For Verrucas: Apply for 40 seconds
Ensure constant contact with the area to be treated.
The foam applicator should be applied to the area for the required treatment time. A slight aching, stinging sensation will occur as a result of freezing. After treating the wart or verruca, wait 2 minutes before using a tissue to remove the foam applicator from the holder. Discard the foam applicator after single use. Do not reuse the foam applicator or touch the tip of the foam applicator with bare hands to ensure that you don’t re-infect the skin with the HPV virus.
2 ADDITIONAL STEPS FOR VERRUCAS for optimal preparation and after treatment
PRIOR TO THE TREATMENT
First, soak the foot in warm water for 5 minutes and afterwards rub the callous with a file to expose the verruca.
STEPS 1-4
See above. Same as for removal of warts
AFTER TREATMENT
After applying for 40 seconds, you could experience some discomfort when pressure or friction occurs on the treated area. You may find it it helpful to protect the sensitive area with a comfort plaster which is widely available for purchase. Comfort pads are not included with Wartner.
Freezing the skin may lead to a slight aching, stinging sensation that may cause some discomfort. This will pass quickly, leaving a small blister under the treated area.
