This week's blog talks about a relatively new treatment for verrucae which is great if you are busy because it's a one-off treatment with reviews roughly every two months. 

 

 

Needling was first carried out in America in 1969 and success rates of 70 – 90% after a single treatment are common. 

 

One verrucae will be selected to treat and the surrounding area anaesthetised. 

 

Your podiatrist will remove any overlying callus and the probe will be held closely to the lesion. An application will last 10—15 seconds and may be a little uncomfortable. A second application may be used. 

 

Afterwards the treated area will be covered. This area MUST be kept dry for 24 hours.
