How does needling treatment work?

Faulkner’s Verruca Needling is a precise, minimally invasive treatment that targets stubborn verrucae (plantar warts) by stimulating the body’s immune response to fight off the virus that causes verrucae, often clearing even stubborn or long-standing warts with just one or two sessions.

Under local anaesthetic, a fine needle is used to puncture the verruca and introduce viral particles into the deeper layers of skin, prompting the immune system to recognise and attack the virus. This technique often requires fewer sessions than traditional methods and can lead to resolution of multiple verrucae—even those not directly treated. It’s a safe and effective option for patients seeking long-term relief from persistent warts.

This treatment is ideal for persistent or painful verrucae that haven’t responded to over-the-counter remedies or other techniques.

What are the advantages of Verruca Needling?

Faulkner’s Verruca Needling offers seven key advantages, with research showing an efficacy rate of approximately 79% for complete resolution of verrucae – even in cases resistant to other treatments.

High Success Rate: Clinical studies report up to 69% complete clearance, outperforming many conventional treatments like cryotherapy (30–50%).

Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, with no surgical excision or prolonged downtime.

Immune Activation: Needling introduces viral particles into deeper skin layers, prompting a systemic immune response that can clear multiple verrucae—even those not directly treated.

Few Sessions Required: Most patients need only one or two treatments, compared to weeks or months of topical therapies.

Quick Recovery: Patients typically experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities shortly after treatment.

Cost-Effective: Fewer appointments and faster resolution make it a more economical option over time.

Safe and Well-Tolerated: No serious adverse events have been reported in clinical reviews, making it suitable for a wide range of patients.
