Verruca's are warts that usually develop on the soles of the feet and can appear in ones and twos or dense clusters (mosaic warts), they are a viral infection and highly contagious and tend to affect children and teenagers more than adults. They may have tiny black dots in the centre – which are tiny blood clots that have formed in small blood vessels.

Over time they can become painful and irritating, especially when they are in weight bearing areas which results in the need for specialist removal. Where there are multiple occurrences, it is helpful to record which one appeared first as often treating the "mother" wart can trigger a viral immune response that causes other untreated warts to spontaneously resolve.

Many conditions require more than one treatment which is indicated by the size, location and quantity of the lesions to be removed. Your treatment plan will be discussed with you during your consultation to enable you to make clear and confident decisions.

The technique used for removal is Advanced Electrolysis or short wave diathermy (known as thermolysis in the USA). Our head aesthetician has over 30 years experience and is trained and approved by Sterex International, who provide the highest level of training for medical, dental and aesthetic practitioners across the globe.

It is important to note that we cannot prevent the appearance of further lesions and while in most cases complete removal is achieved we cannot guarantee that everyone will have the same results, each person will heal differently and in some cases there may still be some discolouration after treatment.
