And this is why my favourite treatment option for long-standing verrucae is Falknor's needling...
This verruca had been present for over 2 years and had already been treated with several different methods without success.
Needling works differently to many topical treatments. By introducing verruca tissue deeper into the skin, it aims to stimulate the body's immune response to recognise and fight the virus responsible for the verruca. This makes it a particularly useful option for stubborn, persistent lesions that have failed to respond to other treatments.
The before and after photos show the outcome following treatment, with healthy skin restored and the verruca fully resolved.
Most importantly, the patient was delighted to finally be rid of a verruca that had been causing ongoing frustration for years.
Every verruca is different, and while no treatment can guarantee success, needling remains one of the most effective options available for long-standing and resistant verrucae. 👣✨
