Verruca Treatment
& Wart Removal
We provide you with a range of effective treatments
to eliminate the verruca virus specialising in professional
verruca treatment and wart removal in Manchester.
Verruca
Verruca is a virus and present like warts that commonly occur on the soles of the feet or around the toe area. They are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which is contagious through direct person-to-person contact.
Verruca often present in children, teenagers and young adults. The virus is thought to thrive in damp environments such as swimming pools and communal changing rooms. The most common appearance of a verruca is that of a cauliflower-type growth with black dots on the bottom of the soles of your feet. If left untreated, they can become painful and may require professional verruca removal or wart treatment from a podiatrist in Manchester.
Cryotherapy
The Freezpen instrument is an innovation in CryoTherapy. It emits a fine jet of nitrous oxide at -89°C, allowing the podiatrist to work with millimetre precision. The tiny cold blast destroys the affected tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals that rupture the cell membrane, thereby destroying the cell. This may require a few treatments over a short term and is a popular choice for both verruca treatment and wart removal in Manchester.
Falkner Needling
Falkner’s Needling Technique treats one or more verrucae (warts) by making small punctures in the wart tissue. This process breaks down the wart cells, triggering the body’s immune system to heal the area. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic and usually takes less than an hour. Most warts resolve within 12-16 weeks, with regular check-ups during this period. While often a one-time treatment, some cases may need up to three sessions for full resolution. This method is widely recognised for effective verruca removal and long-term verruca treatment across Manchester.
