VERRUCA TREATMENT
Targeted clinical treatments for stubborn plantar warts and verrucas
We provide targeted clinical verruca treatments designed to break down stubborn viral skin lesions and stimulate your body's natural immune response
ABOUT THE SERVICE
What is verruca treatment?
Verrucas (plantar warts) are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and can become deeply painful when located on weight-bearing areas of the sole.
Over-the-counter paints often fail because the virus sits deep within the skin layer.
Clinical treatment involves precise debridement of overlying callus combined with targeted acid treatments or immune-stimulating techniques.

WHEN IT MAY HELP
When should you seek clinical verruca treatment?
Consider clinical care if your verruca is:
- Painful when standing, stepping, or squeezing
- Spreading or forming cluster 'mosaic' warts
- Unresponsive to pharmacy treatments after several weeks
- Restricting sports, swimming, or everyday walking
Stubborn verrucas require targeted professional intervention.
Your podiatrist will tailor treatment to your lifestyle and pain threshold.
YOUR APPOINTMENT
What happens during treatment?
Each session focuses on reducing lesion bulk and triggering immune clearance
Callus reduction
Hard skin covering the verruca is pared down gently to expose the viral core.
Clinical application
Prescription-strength clinical treatments are applied directly to the lesion.
Offloading padding
Protective padding is applied to relieve stepping pressure immediately.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What does the treatment feel like?
Debridement is pain-free because dead skin is removed. Clinical treatments may cause a mild localized tingling sensation.
You can return to normal daily activities right after your session.
