Carefully read the instructions in the leaflet before use.
This device is for treating common warts (verruca vulgaris) on the hands, arms and feet, as well as plantar warts in adults and children over 4 years old. For best results on plantar warts (on the soles of the feet): hard skin over the wart makes it more difficult to freeze. For optimal results on plantar warts:
- Soak the affected area in warm water until the skin softens.
- Gently remove the skin above inward-growing warts on the sole of the foot (using a single-use nail file, which should be discarded after use).
- Ensure the wart and surrounding skin are completely dry before starting treatment. Do not file the wart itself, as this may cause pain and create a new hard surface.
Step 1: Preparation (first use only)
Without removing the cap, firmly turn the WHITE PART of the pen in a FULL TURN (360°) in the direction of the arrow until you hear a strong click. Once completed for the first use, this step does not need to be repeated.
Step 2: Activation
Place Excilor® ZeroVerrue Freeze Excel upright on a table, cap facing downwards. Hold the device firmly with one hand. With the other hand, press the white part continuously until you hear a hissing sound for exactly 2 seconds. Pressing for longer will waste doses. A shorter press reduces the freezing effect.
Step 3: Remove the cap
Remove the cap. The applicator tip should have a frosted appearance. Proceed immediately to Step 4. If there is no frosted appearance, replace the cap and repeat Step 2.
Step 4: Treatment using a timer or watch
Start a timer or use a watch to time the treatment. Apply for 15 seconds on thin skin (hands, fingers, toes, sides/top of feet and arms). Apply for 40 seconds on thick, calloused skin (soles of feet).
Note: It is normal to feel a painful, tingling sensation during treatment and for a short time afterwards.
Step 5: Storage and subsequent use
After use, wait at least 2 minutes, then remove and dispose of the pen’s applicator tip. Do not reuse the applicator tip. Insert a new applicator tip into the pen and replace the cap. The pen is now ready for further use. Store in the refrigerator and use any remaining doses within 6 weeks of first use.
Step 6: Monitor for 2 weeks
The core of the wart is quickly reached and destroyed by the low temperature. A single treatment may be sufficient. Older or larger warts may require more than one treatment, particularly if they are on the sole of the foot. The wart will slowly disappear after 10 to 14 days. If the wart or part of it has not disappeared after 14 days, repeat the treatment (Steps 2, 3 and 4). The skin may take longer to return to normal. If the wart is on the sole of the foot, walking on it may be painful. To ease discomfort, apply a round corn plaster (without medication) to the affected area. If the wart persists after 3 treatment cycles, stop using the product and consult a doctor.
