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.
