Description

A verrucae develops on the soles and toes of the feet.  A verruca starts as a tiny pink area which may be speckled with black dots and can become dark with a rough crumbly layer of the skin with a pepper pot appearance. Verrucaes vary in size from a pin head to a large mosaic verruca covering whole sections of the sole and can be extremely painful.  They are notoriously resilient to methods of removal but Electrolysis is a safe, effective, efficient and affordable method of treating them.

Cause

They are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which is highly contagious through direct person to person contact. The virus is thought to thrive in moist, damp environments such as swimming pools, changing room floors and communal shower areas. It is possible to contract verrucae simply by walking across the same floor area as someone with a verruca, especially if you have any small or invisible cuts or abrasions that make it easier for the virus to penetrate.

Treatment

The energy is released over the whole surface area of the verruca by the use of a small probe tapping over the affected area and a slight stinging sensation will be experienced. The probe is then inserted a number of times into the verruca and a sensation will be experienced.  Treatment is a little uncomfortable but highly effective, however it may take more than one treatment to fully remove.

Aftercare

Following your treatment you may experience:

• A slight reddening/swelling of the skin in the area.
• Warmth in the area that has been treated.
• The appearance of the verucca may change once treated, a scab may form and eventually fall away naturally.
• The skin may feel itchy as the healing process takes place.
