What is Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment?

Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment is a topical aerosol spray designed to treat warts and verrucas. It uses a freezing method to remove these skin growths effectively. The treatment comes in a convenient spray form, making it easy to apply directly to the affected area. The freezing action targets the wart or verruca, causing it to fall off over time.

What is Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment used for?

Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment is primarily used to treat warts and verrucas. Warts are small, rough skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Verrucas, also known as plantar warts, appear on the soles of the feet and can be painful. This treatment freezes the wart or verruca, causing it to fall off naturally. Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment is not typically used for other conditions.

How does Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment work?

Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment works by using a combination of dimethyl ether and propane to freeze the wart or verruca. When you apply the spray, the freezing action penetrates the skin, reaching the core of the wart or verruca. This extreme cold causes the cells within the wart or verruca to die. Over time, the treated area will form a blister, and the wart or verruca will fall off, revealing healthy skin underneath.

Who is Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment suitable for?

Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment is suitable for adults and children over the age of four. It is ideal for those who want a quick and effective way to remove warts and verrucas. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. Do not use this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless advised by a doctor. Avoid using it on children under four years old. Do not apply it to moles, birthmarks, or unusual skin growths. If you have diabetes or poor blood circulation, consult your doctor before using this treatment.

How to apply Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment

  1. Ensure the area around the wart or verruca is clean and dry.
  2. Attach the applicator to the aerosol can.
  3. Press the can firmly to release the freezing agent onto the applicator.
  4. Hold the applicator against the wart or verruca for the recommended time (usually around 20 seconds).
  5. Remove the applicator and dispose of it safely.

Apply Bazuka Sub-Zero Freeze Treatment once every two weeks. Do not use it more frequently, as this can damage the skin.

Continue the treatment until the wart or verruca falls off, which usually takes between 10 to 14 days. If the wart or verruca persists, you may need to repeat the treatment.
