Needling is carried out under local anaesthesia so no pain is inflicted during the procedure. Needling pushes the virus further into the body which allows a cell mediated immune response to occur. This essentially means that if the needling procedure is successful you will be immune to that specific family of virus you have been infected with Needling is around 70% effective with the first treatment. Occasionally a second needling procedure is required.

is the process of eliminating and eradicating the virus by using liquid nitrogen. The idea is to provide a short, sharp shock to the cells of the skin by freezing them, destroying the affected tissue cells. You may require multiple appointments.

Verrutop contains Nitri-zinc Complex, which kills the verrucae and wart tissue by breaking its protein structure. This leaves the underlying skin intact. Clinical studies have shown no pain or discomfort on the application or after treatment. Verrutop is suitable for adults and children over 6 years old.

The manufacturers of Verrutop state that following clinical trials the efficacy rate is 90% following up to 6 applications of Verrutop. Although this is high, there is still no 100% guarantee the verrucae will clear completely, which is the case for any verruca treatments.

We use very strong acids which cannot be bought over the counter or prescribed by GPs. They are very effective at eradicating verrucae and warts and are usually painless during treatment.

Caustic therapy is able to break down the protein that makes up the verruca. The acid softens the skin and leads to mild inflammation which by doing so stimulates the body to fight off the virus.
