Our Two-Part Approach: Beyond Removing Genital Warts
At CryoPen Wart Specialist Rosenberg, we do more than remove visible genital warts. We also investigate why HPV has caused warts in your case, because not everyone who is infected with HPV develops genital warts.

The Genital Wart Specialist: More Than Simply Removing the Warts
Many people believe that genital wart treatment is simply about removing the visible warts.
While removing the wart is important, it is only part of the story.
At CryoPen Wart Specialist Rosenberg, we look beyond the visible lesion.
Our goal is to understand why your immune system is currently allowing the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) to remain active. Although the visible genital warts can be removed, HPV may remain present in the deeper layers of the skin. In most people, a healthy immune system suppresses the virus naturally. However, when immune function is temporarily or chronically compromised, HPV may become active again, allowing new genital warts to develop. This interaction between HPV and the immune system has been extensively described in scientific literature.¹²
That is why we combine highly precise CryoPen® treatment with an in-depth consultation, personalised coaching and practical lifestyle advice aimed at supporting your immune system and reducing the likelihood of recurrence.
How Does HPV Work?
HPV as a genital wart constructor
Genital warts; HPV infects the basal layer of the skin and can remain dormant for months or even years without causing visible symptoms.
In most individuals, the immune system eventually clears the infection or keeps the virus under long-term control.
However, if immune function becomes weakened, HPV may reactivate, allowing existing genital warts to enlarge or new lesions to develop.¹²
This does not mean that everyone with recurrent genital warts has a "weak" immune system. In many cases, a combination of lifestyle and health-related factors temporarily reduces the body's ability to suppress the virus.
Why We Look Beyond the Genital Warts
HPV & Genital Warts loves a smoking person
During your consultation, we aim to identify which factors may have reduced your body's natural resistance against HPV and their Genital Warts.
Rather than simply treating the wart, we investigate possible contributing factors such as:
Chronic stress
Burnout or overwork
Poor sleep quality
Intensive exercise without adequate recovery
Smoking
Excessive alcohol consumption
Nutritional deficiencies
Chronic medical conditions
Medication affecting the immune system
Recent infections
Hormonal changes
Once these factors have been identified, we provide personalised recommendations to help optimise your immune function and reduce the risk of future outbreaks.
Step 1 – Book Your Appointment
Your journey starts with making an appointment.
You can contact CryoPen Wart Specialist Rosenberg via WhatsApp or through our website.
If you wish, you may send clear photographs before your appointment for an initial assessment.
Urgent appointments are often available in Blaricum, including evenings and weekends. Appointments in Amsterdam (Vondelpark) are generally available within approximately two weeks.
Step 2 – Comprehensive Consultation and Diagnosis of Genital Warts
Accurate diagnosis is essential.
Not every skin lesion in the genital area is caused by HPV.
During your consultation we assess:
The number of lesions
Their size
Their appearance
Their location
Previous treatments
Whether they are recurring
Lifestyle and health factors that may influence immune function
How to Recognise Genital Warts
Genital warts are usually:
Skin coloured or light pink
Soft to the touch
Small and cauliflower-like
Found individually or in clusters
Usually painless
Occasionally itchy or irritated
Many harmless skin conditions closely resemble genital warts, making professional diagnosis important.
Step 3 – Genital Wart Treatment with CryoPen®
Following diagnosis, treatment is performed using the CryoPen®, an advanced cryotherapy device that delivers an extremely precise jet of cryogenic gas directly onto the wart.
Its precision allows treatment of the wart while preserving as much surrounding healthy skin as possible.
Comparing Treatment Options for Genital Warts
Treatment | Advantages | Disadvantages |
CryoPen® + Personalised Therapy | Extremely precise, fast, ideal for sensitive areas plus guidance aimed at supporting HPV clearance through optimisation of lifestyle and immune function | A follow-up treatment may sometimes be required. Active participation in the personalised advice programme is essential. |
Liquid Nitrogen | Widely available | Less precise, often requires multiple treatments and can be painful. Does not address HPV clearance. |
Topical Creams (e.g. Imiquimod) | Can be applied at home | Long treatment period, frequent skin irritation. Does not guarantee HPV clearance. |
Surgical Removal | Suitable for larger genital warts | Higher risk of scarring. Does not address HPV clearance. |
Laser Therapy | Effective for extensive lesions | Higher costs, can be painful and may cause scarring. Does not address HPV clearance. |
Important: No currently available treatment can guarantee complete elimination of HPV from the body. The aim of our personalised therapy is to optimise the conditions under which your own immune system can suppress or clear the virus, based on current scientific understanding.
Step 4 – Personalised Advice
Treatment does not end after the wart has been removed.
We provide tailored recommendations based on your individual situation, including advice about:
Stress reduction
Recovery from burnout or overtraining
Sleep optimisation
Nutrition
Smoking cessation
Alcohol reduction
Physical activity
Skin care
Sexual health
Preventing further transmission
Our objective is not only to remove today's genital warts but also to reduce the likelihood of future recurrences.
Step 5 – WhatsApp Support
You're never left on your own.
Following treatment, you may contact us via WhatsApp to ask questions, send photographs or discuss any concerns.
Many clients appreciate this direct personal support throughout their recovery.
Step 6 – Follow-Up Appointment After Approximately Two Weeks
Around two weeks after treatment, we usually schedule a follow-up appointment.
During this visit we assess:
Healing
Any remaining genital warts
Newly visible lesions
Skin recovery
Your progress following the personalised recommendations
If necessary, additional treatment can be performed immediately.
Step 7 – Planning the Next Steps
During your review appointment we discuss your long-term plan.
Have all genital warts disappeared?
Have the contributing factors improved?
Is additional guidance required?
Our goal is to achieve the best possible long-term outcome—not simply remove today's wart.
Recovery & Aftercare Following CryoPen® Treatment
After treatment you may experience:
Mild redness
Temporary tenderness
A small scab
Temporary lightening or darkening of the skin
These are normal parts of the healing process.
You will receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing.
CryoPen® Information
CryoPen® is designed for the highly precise treatment of benign skin lesions.
Because treatment is directed almost exclusively at the wart itself, surrounding healthy skin remains largely unaffected.
This makes CryoPen® particularly suitable for treating genital warts in sensitive anatomical areas.
