Verrucae, commonly known as plantar warts, can be painful, stubborn and frustrating to manage. These viral infections, caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), develop on the soles of the feet, causing discomfort during walking or standing. At Surrey Foot Service, we provide a range of highly effective treatment options tailored to your specific needs to eradicate verruca and restore your comfort.
Swift is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses microwave technology to target the root of the verruca. This innovative therapy works by stimulating the body’s immune response to fight off the infection. Swift is quick, typically taking just a few minutes per session and does not involve breaking the skin. It is an excellent option for patients seeking a fast, safe and effective solution with minimal discomfort.
Verrutop is a topical treatment designed to destroy verruca tissue through a controlled chemical reaction. Applied directly to the affected area by our podiatrists, Verrutop offers an effective and non-invasive method to treat verrucae without the need for injections or surgery. This treatment is particularly useful for small or superficial verrucae providing a targeted approach with minimal discomfort.
Cryotherapy involves freezing the verruca using liquid nitrogen. This method works by destroying the infected tissue allowing the body to naturally heal over time. Cryotherapy is an effective treatment for many patients and can be repeated over several sessions to ensure complete removal of the verruca.
For more persistent verrucae, Verruca Needling is a highly effective option. This procedure involves puncturing the verruca under local anaesthetic to stimulate the body’s immune system and prompt a healing response. Needling is typically a one-off treatment making it an excellent choice for long-term verruca issues that have not responded to other methods.
