Verruca: A Deeper Look at Stubborn Warts

Let’s talk about Verrucas!

Verruca, also known as plantar warts or veruca pedis, can be a persistent issue for many people. While some verrucae disappear on their own, others can be stubborn, hanging around for years and causing discomfort or even pain. Today, we’re going to delve into the world of stubborn verruca and explore three innovative treatments: Swift, Verrutop, and Falknor’s Needling.

Swift: A Speedy Solution

Swift is a groundbreaking treatment that uses microwave technology to tackle stubborn verruca. The treatment delivers a precise, controlled dose of energy at a pre-determined depth into the skin, without breaking the skin surface. This localized heat energy quickly treats all infected tissue within the target zone. The treatment process takes just seconds and does not require aesthetic or post-procedure dressings, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately. Swift’s unique approach to verrucae treatment sets it apart from traditional methods and has shown promising results.

Verrutop: A Painless Approach

Verrutop is another novel solution in the fight against stubborn verruca. Unlike many treatments that act by freezing or burning the tissue, Verrutop works differently. It denatures the viral protein and desiccates the wart tissue, which then falls off the skin, revealing healthy skin underneath. This treatment is not for home use and requires specialist application by a healthcare professional. Studies have shown that Verrutop is highly effective, with up to 90% of patients cured after a maximum of six treatment sessions.

Falknor’s Needling: Awakening the Immune System

Falknor’s Needling is a unique treatment for verruca’s that focuses on stimulating the body’s immune response. This treatment involves puncturing the verruca multiple times with a sterile needle, exposing the virus to the fatty tissue beneath the skin, an area rich in immune regulators. The body’s defence system is then triggered to recognize and destroy the virus. This treatment creates a widespread immune response, meaning only one verruca needs to be treated for the approach to be effective.

In conclusion, stubborn verruca need not be a permanent discomfort. Innovative treatments such as Swift, Verrutop, and Falknor’s Needling offer effective solutions.
