Medieval. I bought a Groupon for *gross* wart removal. They imply "latest methods" on their website. THEY BURN THEM WITH AN 80s CAUTERIZER WITHOUT ANESTHETIC**.
And then they offer to pick through the burnt flesh, scraping your charred skin and keep on burning until they are satisfied.
They burn them off -- like they did in the 40s. BURN THEM. Not laser, not liquid nitrogen, no technology. They BURN THEM with the same cauterizing tool they used in the 80s. No technology there, either.
**I'm allergic to lidocaine. That's their only anesthetic (for an extra $25, by the way) They offered ice as a numbing agent - while offering to burn me, pick at the wart and burn it some more.
They give you *many* pages of medical info to fill in - including info generally shared with your OBGYN - really? The last three pages are illegible photocopy. Your best guess what the unreadable, single space, full pages of text are meant to convey. I didn't sign them.
I said no to their kind offer to BURN me with no numbing. They agreed not to redeem the Groupon. They redeemed it anyway. Did I mention shady? And medieval? I called Groupon and got my money back.
DON'T GO HERE. EVER.
