Verruca Needling
Verruca needling is a simple procedure under local anaesthesia.
After you have had an initial consultation, your chiropodist will have outlined the various treatment options for you. Needling involves usually one maybe two injections and then a needling technique first described by Gordon Faulkner in in 1960’s.
A verruca is caused by a viral infection in the skin which can’t be detected easily by the body’s blood bourne immune system. 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 roughly 70% effective with the first treatment.
