Here at the Wart Removal Clinic, we are specialists at removing all types of warts and unsightly skin blemishes. Below is a guide to verrucas and the treatments we provide.
What are Verrucas?
A verruca (plantar wart) is a wart on the sole of the foot. It is the same as a common wart, but the weight of the body presses it into the foot, which can be painful.
What causes Verrucas?
Like other warts, verrucas are caused by strains of papillomavirus. There is lots of papillomavirus around, and many people carry it on the surface of their skin. It does not cause any harm unless it penetrates into the skin, where it can take hold and cause a wart. This is most likely to happen if the surface of your skin is already damaged, with tiny cracks.
What Treatment is needed to Remove Verrucas?
To remove a verruca from your foot, we use the latest Advanced Cosmetic Procedures. Before the treatment can take place, a consultation and patch test is needed. The treatment process requires the tip of a small probe to be used with a tiny energy current to remove the blemished area. The treatment itself is a little uncomfortable but easily tolerated. There are minimal after effects, with a little tightness and scabbing to be expected. Each treatment lasts 15 minutes.
What Results are expected?
Verrucas can be successfully removed, leaving a clearer, healthier looking skin. This treatment is suitable for the feet of both men and woman.
