At LR Podiatry Sheffield, our experienced podiatrists offer the most advanced and effective treatments for verrucas, helping you get rid of painful, persistent lesions that don’t respond to over-the-counter remedies. We provide both Swift microwave therapy and verruca needling, two highly effective methods backed by clinical evidence and trusted by podiatry professionals across the UK.
Verrucas are warts that develop on the soles of the feet, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often appear as small, rough lumps and may have tiny black dots (dilated blood vessels) inside them. Because they’re under pressure when you walk, verrucas can be painful, cause discomfort, and spread easily if left untreated.
Many verrucas will eventually resolve on their own, but stubborn or painful ones often need professional podiatry treatment to be effectively cleared.
Swift is a cutting-edge, non-invasive verruca treatment that uses microwave energy to target the virus deep within the skin.
Swift is particularly effective for persistent verrucas that have resisted other treatments.
Verruca needling is a powerful option for stubborn or multiple verrucas.
Needling can be a great choice for patients with long-standing or multiple verrucas.
At LR Podiatry, we offer two advanced treatment options for verrucas:
This cutting-edge treatment uses microwave energy to target and destroy the verruca virus deep within the skin. The procedure is quick, easy and no need for anaesthesia or dressings. Most patients experience significant improvement after just a few sessions, and there’s no downtime - meaning you can get back to your daily activities immediately.
A highly effective treatment, especially for stubborn or multiple verrucas, needling involves puncturing the verruca under local anaesthesia to provoke an immune response. This technique encourages the body to respond to the virus from within, often leading to the complete resolution of the verruca 6-9 months after a single treatment.
