Verrutop Therapy
£60.00 per session
Verrutop is an innovative medication that is utilised to treat verrucas. It employs a Nitrizinc complex that is topically applied to the affected area. Verrutop functions by promoting the drying and desiccation of the lesions, thereby facilitating cell death. This process contributes to the reduction and eventual elimination of the verruca.
​
Fortnightly appointments with up to 4 treatments and a maximum of 6.
CryoPen B VP Therapy
£60.00 per session
A revolution in cryotherapy, CryoPen B is highly accurate over conventional liquid nitrogen treatments. The Cryopen therapy can be used for treating verruca/ or multiple verrucae, warts, skin tags, and similar types of lesion.
​
The liquid nitrogen is sprayed over the verruca for 3-5 times for 10-30 seconds and a plaster is applied. It could take multiple sessions of cryo therapy to treat the lesion.
Swift Treatment
£120.00 per session
Swift treatment heats the warty tissue to 41-44 C in a highly controllable, uniform manner.
The treatment microwaves penetrate to a depth of over 3.5 mm travelling in a straight line with energy deposited in alignment. The ‘beam’ emitted from the device has little lateral spread and minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
The wart is sensitive to heat, and this results in tissue damage or death to the cell membranes and cell structure, this in turn can activates your body’s immune response
Dry Needling Therapy
£175.00 per session
Dry needling is a form of treatment for verrucae. It involves administrating local anaesthetic to ensure the area is completely numb. The verrucae tissue is repeatedly punctured with a sterile needle which prompts an immune response in the tissue due physical breakdown.
​
Prior to this treatment, it is important to stop taking anti-inflammatory medication 3 days before and after the treatment.
