• TCA is scientifically proven to have a long lasting peeling effect on the wart, which allows a continuous action on the wart.  It destroys the HPV virus.
• The pH rate of TCA= 1.9 whereas salicylic acid has a pH rate of 2.4, which means that TCA is a stronger acid than salicylic acid.
• Wartner wart pen is in gel format while salicylic acid compositions are generally in liquid form. The gel allows having a more precise application on the affected spot without too much invasion of the healthy skin around it by using an innovative applicator.

Yes, Wartner Wart Pen is safe to use if you follow the instructions carefully; however we do not advise use on children under the age of four.
CE Marked and classified as a Medical Device, which conforms to European guidelines (Council Directive 93/42/EEC amended by 2007/47/EC) Wartner Wart Pen has been assessed by several scientific and medical experts as being a safe method for the removal of warts and verrucas.

TCA is a corrosive agent and causes skin peeling within 10-15 minutes. Large amount of TCA gel might cause a slight tingling sensation that should disappear quickly.

If applied on the thin, damaged or sensitive skin, TCA may cause burning and painful sensation- but the sensation is transient and should disappear within few minutes. If painful sensation occurs the excess of the gel should be immediately cleaned out with water.

The Wartner Wart & Verruca Pen is a medical device indicated for treatment of common warts and verrucas. The pen applicator contains a new highly concentrated wart & verruca removal gel based on the traditional acid method.

The TCA gel allows the elimination of warts or verrucas thanks to a topical chemical eradication action. The gel induces the peeling of the keratotic tissue of the wart (or verruca) and allows the destruction of the causative virus. After wart (or verruca) desquamation, the skin will regenerate.

Wartner Wart Pen contains a gel formulation based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA) in a easy to use pen applicator with a twist-and-turn mechanism to disclose the correct amount of gel to be applied on the wart.
