Warts can be frustrating, persistent, and often resistant to over-the-counter treatments. If you’ve tried everything from freezing to burning — with little or no success — you’re not alone.
At Southface Skin Clinic, we’re proud to offer an advanced, science-backed solution that’s helping patients finally clear their stubborn warts for good: DCP Immunotherapy.
What Is DCP Wart Treatment?
DCP (short for diphenylcyclopropenone) is an immunotherapy treatment that works by stimulating your immune system to recognise and destroy the virus responsible for warts — the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Rather than damaging the wart directly (as with freezing or acid treatments), DCP triggers a mild, controlled immune response that allows your body to naturally fight off the virus and eliminate the wart over time.
How Does It Work?
Treatment is simple and non-invasive:
- We apply a topical solution of DCP directly to the wart.
- No pain, no freezing, and no anaesthetic is required.
- Over the course of several sessions, your body’s immune system begins to target the virus.
- Warts typically resolve within 2 to 6 treatments, depending on the individual and wart type.
Why Choose DCP?
It’s effective:
Clinical studies and patient results show excellent clearance rates, especially in younger patients. In fact, we’ve seen up to a 100% success rate in those under 30 at Southface.
It’s painless:
Unlike cryotherapy or laser treatments, DCP involves no discomfort during or after application.
It’s safe and well-tolerated:
Side effects are minimal and typically limited to mild redness or itching at the application site.
It treats the root cause:
By activating your immune system, DCP treats the underlying virus, not just the surface lesion — reducing the chance of recurrence.
Is DCP Right for You?
DCP is ideal for patients who:
- Have persistent or treatment-resistant warts
- Prefer a painless, non-invasive solution
- Want to avoid freezing, burning, or surgical options
- Are looking for long-term clearance
It is especially effective for children, teens, and young adults, but can be considered in older patients too.
