When should you use Excilor’s Duo Power Wart Treatment to remove warts?
Warts on the hands and feet can quickly become a nuisance in daily life. A plantar wart can cause discomfort when walking, while a common wart on the fingers or palms can be unsightly and difficult to get rid of. Excilor Duo Power Wart Treatment is designed to act directly on these skin lesions using a combined approach that pairs cryotherapy with an acid gel. This dual action targets the wart from different angles to promote the gradual elimination of the infected area.
The first step involves cryotherapy. The intense cold works much like frost, which weakens a plant down to its roots: the wart is frozen deep down to reach the infected tissue. This targeted action helps treat the wart right down to its root, particularly in the case of common warts on the hands or thicker plantar warts. A tingling or burning sensation may occur during application, indicating that the cold is taking effect on the affected skin.
The process then continues with the acid gel containing trichloroacetic acid. This gel induces gradual peeling of the wart, meaning the surface layers of skin are renewed. Think of the wart as a thickened layer of skin that gradually peels away to make way for healthier skin. This process helps support skin renewal while targeting the wart’s structure day after day.
This treatment is suitable for adults as well as children over 4 years of age when the warts are located exclusively on the hands or feet. It can be particularly effective when warts are stubborn or have been present for several weeks. Thanks to its two complementary applicator pens, the treatment protocol allows for a gradual and structured approach to the skin lesion.
Excilor also draws on its expertise in hand and foot health to offer practical at-home solutions. The pen format facilitates precise application to the wart without unnecessarily spreading the product onto the surrounding skin. This precision helps protect the healthy skin around the treated area and minimizes the risk of accidental irritation.
To enhance the overall management of warts, it may be beneficial to combine this medical device with Boiron’s Verrulia, traditionally used as part of homeopathic treatment for warts. This combination can complement the local action of Excilor Duo Power through a synergistic approach.

Our expert advice on the Excilor Duo Power Wart Treatment for removing warts
Before beginning treatment for a plantar wart, a warm foot bath followed by gently filing the calloused skin can improve the penetration of the acid gel and maximize the treatment’s effectiveness. Also, be sure to avoid walking barefoot in damp public areas to limit the spread of the virus. Throughout the treatment period, wear comfortable shoes to reduce friction on the treated area.
