Verruca needling is a highly effective treatment for persistent verrucae that have not responded to other methods. Performed under local anaesthetic, the procedure involves using a fine needle to gently push the virus deeper into the skin’s dermal layer—where it can trigger a stronger immune response.

This controlled process encourages your body to recognise and fight off the virus, not only at the treated site but potentially at other verruca sites too. By stimulating this natural immune reaction, needling can lead to complete resolution—often with just one session.

✅ Performed under local anaesthetic for comfort
✅ Suitable for long-standing or resistant verrucae
✅ Minimal aftercare and downtime
✅ May help clear other verrucae on the feet

If you are struggling with stubborn verrucae, book a consultation with one of our experienced podiatrists to see if needling is right for you.
