Abstract
A method for treating a wart on skin of a patient includes guiding non-thermal, atmospheric pressure plasma over areas of the tissue having the wart for a length of time effective to give rise to an at least partial amelioration of the wart.
Claims9
A method for treating a wart on skin of a patient, the method comprising:
- with a device that comprises
- (i) a high voltage electrode,
- (ii) an insulating or semiconducting barrier,
- (iii) a power source capable of providing a voltage,
- (iv) a pulse generator, and
- (v) a second electrode, a ground, or both,
- applying non-thermal, atmospheric pressure plasma over an area of tissue having the wart under conditions sufficient to give rise to an at least partial reduction in size of the wart,
- the non-thermal atmospheric plasma being generated by a high frequency oscillation of the high voltage of from about 5 to about 20,000 kHz.
