Why verruca needling is the best verruca treatment

Why Needling for Verruca Works Better Than Topical Treatments

1. Targets the whole of the verruca, penetrating deep to the core. Not just what you can see.
Salicylic acid and cryotherapy are examples of topical treatments that only work on the surface of the verruca. Needling, on the other hand, goes deeper into the skin to get the virus into the deeper layers, which triggers a systemic immune response. This helps the body find and get rid of the HPV virus that causes verrucae, not just in the area that was treated but maybe all over the body.

2. More successful outcomes

Research shows that needling often works better, especially on verrucae that have been around for a long time, are larger, and haven’t responded to topical treatments.

3. Fewer Sessions of Treatment

Topical treatments usually need to be applied every day for weeks or months, but needling usually only needs to be done once or twice, which make it more convenient for the patient. 

4. Little ongoing maintenance

Patients need to put in a lot of work and be patient with topical treatments, which can make them less likely to follow through. Needling, on the other hand, doesn’t need any aftercare apart from one appointment one wek later, which makes people more likely to stick with their treatment and get better results.

5. Safe and well-tolerated

Needling is a safe and controlled procedure that is usually done under local anaesthetic by a qualified professional. it only takes around two days to fully heal and the pain is very minimal with no rest required.
