Verrucae removal
Verruca can appear on the foot at any age and can be very painful, depending on where they are located. At SO Podiatry’s Worcester City Centre clinic we offer effective wart and verruca removal to help get you moving again.
Sometimes confused with plantar corns, verrucae can be present and last a few months to a few years, some can be present a lifetime. Warts or verrucae are a resistant virus that live in outer layers of the skin and can cause pain and discomfort. Unfortunately, many traditional methods of verruca treatment fail to resolve the lesion. You may have tried everything for Verruca Removal over the counter but still they have not disappeared.
Swift Microwave Therapy
Swift Therapy treatment is a new and state of the art technology, developed here in the UK, which is used for wart and verruca removal. It has a high success rate especially for treating stubborn warts and verrucas.
Swift uses microwave energy delivered through a special probe applied to the skin to treat the affected verruca tissue. A probe contacts the lesion and the microwave energy travels into the skin, water molecules begin colliding and create a localised heat energy, quickly destroying all infected tissue to a predetermined depth. We deliver Swift microwave therapy as a package of up to 3 applications.
We also offer Verruca Needling
A more traditional treatment which is deemed to stimulate the body’s immune response creating a local inflammatory reaction so the body can ‘reject’ the virus. Verruca needling is a painless procedure carried out under local anaesthetic, the wart is ‘needled’ to stimulate the immune response. Minor bleeding will occur and a dressing is applied. A scab will form and you will attend 7 days after the procedure for a check-up. Resolution occurs from 12+ weeks after the procedure.
This is a highly successful minor surgical procedure and is still not widely available.
