Verruca Needling Treatment
A minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic for the treatment of persistent and stubborn verruca (warts).
Verrucae needling may be considered when other treatment options have been unsuccessful. The procedure aims to stimulate the body’s natural immune response to help fight the verruca.
Research suggests that around 76% of patients require only one treatment, making verrucae needling a potential option for those with persistent verruca.
During treatment, the affected area is carefully prepared and a sterile needle is used to puncture the verruca under local anaesthetic. This creates a controlled injury within the verruca, which can trigger an immune response against the virus responsible for the infection.
Why Choose Verruca Needling?
• Suitable for stubborn or persistent verrucas
• Can be considered when other treatments have been unsuccessful
• Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic
• Designed to stimulate the body’s natural immune response
• Performed by an experienced podiatry professional
