PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
Your practitioner will take a full medical, medication & lifestyle history at your initial appointment to insure you are suitable for verrucae needling. All your information is taken in a private room and stored on our secure database for your privacy & security.
Before the anaesthetic our podiatrist will assess the blood flow in your feet using a doppler. This is a painless procedure and when you and our podiatrist are both happy we administer a local anaesthetic to numb the area to be treated.
Once the area is numb and you are happy to proceed our podiatrist will perform a technique known as Falknor's Needling using a fine needle in an aseptic environment. The procedure often takes less than 10 mins per verrucae / wart and you leave with aftercare advise and a follow-up appointment

In 75% of cases, only one treatment is required.
However, 1 in 4 patients may require additional treatments depending on the success of the initial procedure and/or the number of verrucas/warts to be treated.
With a few exceptions, most adults are suitable for verrucae needling. The only exceptions are those who have a medical contraindication to the anaesthetic or have poor wound healing.
Children are not suitable for this treatment.
