Microwave probe
Energy
Infected
tissue
A probe that uses microwaves to destroy verrucas could provide a less invasive way of treating pre-cancers and cancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), as well as genital warts
Molecules collide
Energy causes water molecules within the tissue to collide and the friction generates a rapid temperature rise
Tissue regeneration
With the infected tissue destroyed by heat, skin quickly repairs and regenerates
