Verrucae & Warts

Curettage

Curettage is a minor surgical procedure involving full excision of the verruca followed by chemical cauterisation to kill any remaining infected tissue. The procedure is painless since it is performed under local anaesthetic. Following the procedure a large protective dressing is applied and you can weightbear immediately. Recovery is fast and most patients can perform their usual daily activities one week post-procedure.

Needling

Needling involves poking the verruca with a needle multiple times. This pushes the verruca tissue deeper into the skin which helps your body detect the virus responsible which stimulates your body’s immune response to kill off the virus leading to a resolution in your verruca(s). This minor procedure is painless since it is performed under local anaesthetic. Following the procedure, a small dressing is placed over the area treated and you can weightbear immediately. Recovery is fast and most patients can perform their usual daily activities 2 days post-procedure. Most patients require 1-2 treatment sessions to achieve full resolution.
