VERRUCA
NEEDLING

specialist podiatry treatments
for ingrown toenails and verucca

What is Verruca Needling?

As an alternative to Swift, Coventry Foot Clinic is pleased to offer Falknor’s needling treatment to patients with stubborn verrucae following a thorough assessment appointment.

Falknor’s needling procedure is an innovative and effective treatment for verrucae (warts) which are benign types of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) group. It is a form of soft tissue therapy which is intended to break down the verruca and create a controlled inflammatory response which, in turn, stimulates the body’s immune system to recognise the virus and destroy it.

​Needling is different from most other verruca treatments as it usually only requires one treatment session making it ideal for busy people or those who do not wish to undergo lengthy treatment schedules. 24 hours after treatment you can shower as normal without the need to keep bulky dressings dry. After usually two days no dressings are needed so you can quickly return to your normal activities.

How does it work?

By puncturing the verruca with an empty sterile needle many times, the viral particles are directly exposed to the fatty tissue beneath the skin where the body is rich in immune regulators. Here, the immune system can recognise and destroy the virus. Treatment of only one verruca is usually all that is required, even if multiple verrucae are present.

Does it hurt?

​The procedure is carried out painlessly under a local anaesthetic of which you will need a small injection. You will not feel the needling taking place. Following the surgery mild soreness has been reported by a few patients although many feel no discomfort at all following treatment. You will not be able to drive immediately after surgery but can the following day.

I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone. She helped my son getting rid of his warts he had on his hands and knee. She's such a lovely person and very professional. A huge THANK YOU.

Hard to fully explain how much of an amazing job Julia did. I was so nervous when it came to my initial surgery, but not only does she have the experience to back up her skills, but her ability to make you feel at ease and feel like you’re talking to a friend was brilliant. Genuinely can speak so highly of her, and I’m so thankful for her throughout my process of an ingrown toenail. She followed up after the procedure, provided information and more. I’m now fully healed and to be honest, couldn’t be more happier. Julia if you see this, thank you so much. Hopefully I don’t see you again, but if I ever require the same treatment, I’ll 100% go to see her again.

Excellent care from Julia. We have tried loads of home treatments for my son's stubborn verrucas. The swift treatment cured him in a few weeks! Thanks Julia!!

I went to Julia with a very stubborn verruca. After a consultation about what treatments are available I settled on the swift treatment, 6 treatments several weeks apart. Julia was really nice and very professional at each appointment and here I am 5 treatments later with no verruca. If you are like me and are fed up with those off the shelf home treatment kits not working then book in for the consultation. I can't recommend it enough.
