Verrucas are one of the most common foot problems, yet they can be incredibly stubborn and frustrating to deal with. These small, wart-like growths can appear on the feet and are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While some verrucas disappear on their own, others persist for months or even years, causing pain and discomfort. If you’re struggling with a stubborn verruca, Supafoot offers a range of advanced treatments to help.
What are verrucas?
Verrucas are warts that can develop on different areas of the foot, such as the heels or balls of the feet. They often have a rough surface and may contain tiny black dots, which are small, clotted blood vessels. Because they grow inwards due to pressure from walking, verrucas can be painful and uncomfortable, especially when left untreated.
Verrucas are highly contagious and spread through direct contact with infected surfaces, such as swimming pool floors, gym showers, and changing rooms. If left untreated, they can multiply or spread to other parts of the foot.
How Supafoot can help
At Supafoot Podiatry Clinic, we understand how frustrating and painful verrucas can be. That’s why we offer cutting-edge treatments designed to target and eliminate verrucas effectively. Here are some of the expert treatments we provide:
Verrutop
Verrutop is an advanced topical treatment that targets the verruca without damaging the surrounding skin. Unlike traditional acids or freezing treatments, Verrutop works by dehydrating the verruca tissue, allowing the body to shed it naturally. This painless and non-invasive option is ideal for patients who prefer a gentle yet effective approach to verruca removal.
K-Laser Therapy
K-Laser therapy uses low-level laser energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. By increasing blood flow and boosting immune response, K-Laser helps to break down the verruca tissue while encouraging the skin to regenerate. This treatment is painless and ideal for patients who want a non-invasive alternative.
Verruca Needling
Verruca needling is a minor procedure that involves puncturing the verruca multiple times with a fine needle under local anesthesia. This technique pushes the virus deeper into the skin, prompting the body’s immune system to recognize and fight it. Needling is particularly effective for long-standing verrucas that have not responded to other treatments.
SWIFT Microwave Therapy
SWIFT is one of the most advanced verruca treatments available today. It uses microwave energy to target the verruca, stimulating an immune response to clear the virus. The procedure is quick, with no need for bandages or downtime, making it a popular choice for those with busy lifestyles. Many patients see significant improvements after just a few sessions.
