Endwarts Freeze
What is EndWarts® FREEZE?
- EndWarts® FREEZE is an efficient, high-tech device that makes it easy to remove warts on hands, arms or feet. Often only one treatment is sufficient.1
Ultra FREEZE Technology™
- EndWarts® FREEZE is the only home treatment device containing nitrous oxide, which is a very cold gas.
- Ultra Freeze Technology™ ensures the device starts at a very low temperature (-80°C compared with most treatments freezing at -50°C) which is maintained during application, so the deepest layer of the wart can be reached.
- A recent clinical study evaluated cryotherapies and found EndWarts® FREEZE to deliver significant results with good tolerability, described as user friendly and effective.(1)
- Due to the temperature of the gas, after just a few seconds of use, the core of the wart will be reached and destroyed. As a result, only one treatment is usually needed and warts should disappear within 14 days.1-2 However, older or larger warts may need more than one treatment, particularly if they are on the soles of the feet.
Using EndWarts® FREEZE on children
- EndWarts® FREEZE may be used on children over the age of four. 2
- Always ensure that it is a wart you are dealing with before applying treatment.
- Please note that cryotherapy can be perceived as slightly painful and uncomfortable for small children.
- As an alternative treatment we can recommend the EndWarts® PEN, which may be better tolerated by children, although may need a few more treatments
How to use EndWarts® FREEZE
- On children under the age of four
- On the face, groin, genitals, scalp or mucosa
- On healthy skin (skin without warts)
- On warts located on sensitive skin; take particular care when treating areas of thin skin
- If the wart and/or surrounding skin is bleeding or open, irritated, itchy, infected or red
- If you are not sure the growth is a common wart, we recommend seeking professional advice
- On moles, corns, blisters, other skin defects or anything that might be skin cancer (melanoma)
- On liquid filled vesicles on the skin (called ‘molluscum contagiosum’) or any other vesicles or blisters.
- If pregnant or a nursing mother
- On persons with diabetes and/or problems with blood circulation or blood clotting
- On multiple warts at the same time if they are located close together. Wait 14 days before you treat the next wart.
Do not use EndWarts® FREEZE:
Treating verrucas (foot warts) with EndWarts® FREEZE
Hard skin on top of the wart makes freezing more difficult, so to achieve the best results follow these steps:
- Soak the affected area in lukewarm water until the skin is soft.
- Gently remove any overlaying skin on inward growing warts on the foot e.g. with a foot file.
- Make sure that the wart and surrounding skin are completely dry before treatment.
- Do not file the wart itself; it may become tender and will form a new hard surface.
Instructions
- Before first use - Activate: Screw one full turn until the star is back into the shaded zone, some force is needed. Don’t worry if you turn the star past the shaded zone. EndWarts® FREEZE is now activated.
- 1. Load: Place EndWarts® FREEZE on a flat and stable surface. Hold EndWarts® FREEZE with a steady grip with one hand so it does not slip. With the other hand, push the device downward with enough pressure for 2 long seconds. There should be a hissing sound.
- 2. Check: Remove the cap. You should see ice vapour. Use the product immediately! If there is no ice vapour, repeat the Load step.
- 3. Treat: Immediately press the tip of EndWarts® FREEZE firmly against the wart. For best results, the time is crucial. Use a clock or count out loud slowly:
- 15 seconds on hands, fingers and arms
- 40 seconds on feet
- 4. After treating the wart, put the cap back on and store in a refrigerator.
- For a successful treatment, always read the instructions carefully before use.
- Download the instruction leaflet to read the full instructions for use. After treatment
- Immediately after treatment the treated area should turn white. After a little while the skin should go back to its normal colour and the wart may look red.
- Using EndWarts® FREEZE may also cause a tingling feeling and the skin may feel sore. These effects should go away after a few hours.
- Within a few minutes to several days after freezing, a blister may develop, occasionally filled with blood. This is a normal result of the freezing process and usually indicates that the treatment was successful. Do not attempt to burst the blister. If necessary, protect it with a plaster / sterile bandage, or if the blister has opened, disinfect it properly.
- The treated wart should slowly disappear after 10 to 14 days.1-2 However, it may take longer for the skin to fully recover.
- If the wart is located on the sole of the foot it may feel painful to walk on it. To make it less painful, apply a round corn plaster to the area.
- Do not pick at the treated area or try to tear the wart off!
- Keep the treated area clean and disinfect if needed.
- Bathing and showering are allowed immediately after treatment.
- After each use, wait two minutes, then discard the disposable tip and insert a new tip. Once complete, replace the cap and store the device in the refrigerator. Remember to always replace the cap after each use.
