If you correctly follow all the directions in the instruction leaflet, using the Wartner Pen will not result in scarring. It is important to use the product exactly as instructed as overexposure to the formula could cause temporary burning, temporary pain, mild temporary ulceration and temporary discoloration of surrounding skin.
No, the Wartner Pen should be applied with precision, but it’s not difficult. The information leaflet explains exactly how you should apply Wartner Pen.
When the Wartner Verruca & Wart Removal 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. Several full turns might be needed as the gel is stored at the top of the Pen (to avoid leakage prior to first treatment)
Do not turn the dial more than the amount of times necessary to release 1 drop of formulation, as this may result in over-dispensing of TCA and smearing on normal skin, which might cause severe irritation of the area.
The Wartner Verruca & Wart Removal Pen Pen should be applied twice 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 warts or verrucas) will form. The wart or verruca may disappear from the first week of treatment. If the wart or verruca does not disappear completely, repeat the treatment after a break of 4 days. You can repeat this treatment schedule up to 4 times.
If the wart (or verruca) is small (size of a needle point), only apply the gel once a day
When the Wartner Pen is used for the first time, it is necessary to fully turn the dial on the top of the pen clockwise several times 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 wart or verruca (not on healthy skin surrounding it)
STEP 4
Let the gel dry for 10-15 minutes before putting on clothes or shoes.The Wartner Pen formula is very concentrated and only one drop is needed per application. Carefully cover the entire surface of the wart (or verruca) and not the healthy skin surrounding it. Once the treatment is completed, carefully clean the pen with a tissue before storage.
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 then rub the callous carefully with a file (widely available for purchase) to expose the verruca. Dry it thoroughly so there is no water/moisture between the wart and the Wartner TCA gel. Do not apply the TCA gel when the skin is bleeding or broken. A file not included.
STEP 1-4
Same as for removal of warts as above. Once treatment is complete, carefully clean the Wartner Pen with a tissue before storage.
AFTER TREATMENT
After applying the TCA gel and let it dry for 10-15 minutes, you could experience some discomfort when pressure or friction occurs on the treated area. You may find it helpful to protect the sensitive area with a comfort plaster which is widely available for purchase. Comfort pads not included.
A successfully treated wart or verruca usually means that it has been removed permanently. The body’s immune system will normally purge any remaining traces.
Using the Wartner Verruca & Wart Removal Pen may cause some discomfort (transient tingling, burning sensation). In case of small warts, there is higher chance of wounding or discomfort. Therefore the application should be limited to 1 time a day.
Always use the Wartner Verruca & Wart Removal Pen very carefully and accurately. If you’re not careful, scars and minor skin damage may occur.
The appearance of a blister: this blister will disappear as soon as the wart or verruca falls off the skin. New skin will already have formed under the blister.
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 Wartner Wart Pen Wart 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- a new & healthy skin will form instead.
