Effective verruca wart treatments at Compleet Feet- How many verruca and wart treatments can you count in our picture?It is 15. Even I was surprised by how many options to treat verrucae and warts we have to offer in our ‘compleet’ clinic:
- Nd:YAG 1064nm laser – Our top most effective solution for difficult to treat infections. Powerful and targeted. Usually only 1-2 treatments required.
- SWIFT – The latest in wart and verrucae treatment. Uses targeted microwave energy to initiate an immune response over several months
- Hyfrecation/Electrosurgery – Surgical removal of treatment resistant verrucae and warts. Great to get rid of old fibrous infected scar tissue.
- Needling – A procedure involving multiple needle puncturing of verruca to stimulate an immune response.
- Cryotherapy – Using a Cryopen, as used in minor skin surgery to directly freeze target verruca and wart. Quite precise in application and deep reaching action.
- Cryocan – A form of cryotherapy. Less precise than Cryopen. Often combined with acid treatments. Great for pain relief when using SWIFT.
- Erchonia Low Level Laser – A ‘cold’ 635nm red laser which is calibrated at specific frequency to target verrucae infection. It works at a cellular level to help initiate and immune response and healing processes. Great as an adjunctive therapy and for sensitive skin types and patients.
- 70% Salicylic Acid – A strong keratolytic which is used to help break verruca keratin structure.
- Monochloroacetic Acid – A very strong keratolytic which will effectively break down a verruca. Often combined in conjunction with 70% Salicylic Acid to moderate action.
- Silver Nitrate – A mild keratolytic which helps, in conjunction with other treatments to dry out and limit re-infection and spread.
- Glutarol – A topical treatment given to patients for home use. Great for mosaic, superficial infections which need drying out and control spread.
- Salactol – A topical treatment given to patients for home use. Great for helping to break down hard overlying verruca callous.
- Marigold Therapy – A holistic verruca and wart treatment. Is anti-viral and anti-inflammatory. Great for sensitive skin types and children.
- Spirularin – Not a direct verruca treatment, but used in conjunction with other treatments. It is anti-viral and helps to reduce spread and reduce chances of re-infection.
- Excilor Protecor Spray 3 in 1 – Provides a water-resistant invisible barrier to protect feet in communal areas.
Tailor Made Effective Verruca Wart Treatments
Having such a wide choice of effective verruca wart treatments means the podiatrist can tailor make the right treatment choice. This is dependant on the patients age, health, life-style, previous treatment history, infection size, location and type. Often, we combine treatments to get an effective outcome. No one infection is ever the same.
