Effective Verruca Removal with Diathermy: Why It Works When Other Treatments Don’t
If you’ve been struggling with a stubborn verruca that just won’t go away, you’re definitely not alone. Verrucas also known as plantar warts can be incredibly persistent and often resist over the counter products like acids, freezing sprays, and medicated plasters. While these can sometimes help, they work slowly and rely heavily on your immune system to fight the virus. That’s why so many clients I end up treating have exhausted all these avenues, having potentially had the verruca for years. Diathermy verruca treatment is a safe, targeted, and far more effective option for long-term results.
How Does Diathermy Verruca Treatment Work?
Diathermy uses a fine, sterile probe to deliver a carefully controlled electrical current directly into the verruca. The heat cauterises the infected tissue and seals off the tiny blood vessels that feed the viral cells, cutting off their lifeline. This method affects the outside tissue which then heals naturally and kick starts the bodies immune response in order to fight the virus.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
During your verruca treatment you may feel a brief, warm, tingling sensation as the current is applied. The treatment is relatively quick and although a little uncomfortable, it is tolerable. The area can appear slightly red or crusted afterwards, which is completely normal. Over the next few weeks, the skin begins to repair itself, often turning black first as the skin dies off and healthy new tissue replaces the treated area.
I leave around three months between treatments to give the skin time to heal and to fully assess the results before deciding if any further sessions are needed. Patience really pays off here, this approach ensures the best long-term outcome.
Aftercare and Healing
After your treatment, it’s important to keep the area clean and dry, avoid touching or picking at it, and use the aftercare solution provided. This supports healthy healing and minimises the risk of infection.
