We currently recommend the following treatments:

Swift Microwave therapy which offers a quick treatment that does not require anasthetic or dressings.

Please visit the Treat Verruca Website for a detailed explanation of this treatment. The recommended treatment protocol is for 3 treatments 4 weeks apart and a review after another 12 weeks (5 months from the initial treatment). The cost for this package will be £400. Individual treatments cost £150.

Immune response stimulation using Dry Needling under local anaesthesia.  Verruca can live undiected by the immune system for many years as they create an invisablity cloak around them.  The dry needling procedure introduces the virus deeper into the skin tissue so it can be detected by the immune system and eradicated.  Further details will be provided at your verruca consultation.  The cost is £335.

Practical home treatment maybe the best option for small and non painful verrucas.  There is alot of advice on the internet about different home remidies.  We will guide you through the choices which includes the use of acids and occlusion.  We may also recommend regualar removal of the hard skin that forms over the top of the verruca.  Guidence will be given as to how the verruca will respond during the treatment and when it has gone.  An intial verruca consultaion cost £45.
