What is verruca needling?

Verruca needling is a minor procedure for verrucae that won’t go away, including those that haven’t responded to other treatments. It’s carried out under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel it.

After your treatment

You can usually remove the dressing within 1–3 days and continue as normal. We’ll give you clear aftercare advice before you leave.

Is it right for me?

We’ll take a look at your verruca and your medical history first, then talk you through whether needling is the best option for you.
