Verruca Needling Treatments in London
Verruca needling treatments near you in London, at our Canada Water and Stratford clinics.
What is Verruca Needling?
Verruca needling is a specialised treatment designed to tackle stubborn verrucas. A verruca is a type of wart caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), often appearing on the feet. Unlike other treatments, needling stimulates the body’s immune system to fight the virus from within.
The procedure involves using a fine needle to puncture the verruca multiple times under local anaesthetic. This creates tiny injuries that alert the immune system to the presence of the virus, encouraging it to respond and clear the infection. Needling is especially useful for larger verrucas or those that haven’t responded to traditional methods like freezing or salicylic acid.

Bodytonic Clinic Reviews
What is the Process of Verruca Needling?
- Anaesthesia:
- Our practitioners begin by applying a local anaesthetic to the area surrounding the verruca. This ensures the procedure is pain-free and comfortable.
- Preparation of the Skin:
- The skin over the verruca is thoroughly cleaned and prepped to maintain hygiene and prevent infection during the procedure.
- Needling the Verruca:
- Using a sterile, fine-tipped needle, our practitioners will repeatedly puncture the verruca. This is done carefully to target the infected tissue without damaging the surrounding healthy skin. The punctures are deep enough to stimulate the immune system by creating micro-injuries in and around the verruca.
- Immune Stimulation:
- The goal of the needling is to alert the body’s immune system to the presence of the HPV virus. This immune response helps fight the infection not only in the treated verruca but potentially in other verrucas on your body.
- Dressing the Area:
- Once the needling is complete, the area is dressed with a sterile bandage to protect it and promote healing.
Common Symptoms of Verrucas
- Rough raised skin
- Pain or discomfort
- Hard or thickened skin
- Itching or tenderness

Verruca needling is a treatment used to remove stubborn verrucas, also known as plantar warts. At Bodytonic Clinic, we use a fine needle to puncture the verruca, which stimulates the body’s immune system to attack and break down the wart tissue.
The treatment encourages your body’s natural healing process, gradually removing the verruca. It’s a highly effective, minimally invasive option for people who haven’t had success with other treatments, like over-the-counter medications or cryotherapy.
Verruca needling is generally well tolerated, but some discomfort is to be expected.
At Bodytonic Clinic, we ensure your comfort by applying local anaesthesia to numb the area before the procedure begins. This means you’ll feel little to no pain during the treatment. Afterwards, there might be some tenderness or mild swelling, but this should subside within a few days. We recommend following aftercare instructions closely to minimise any discomfort and aid the healing process.
The verruca needling treatment at Bodytonic Clinic usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of the verrucas being treated.
It’s a quick and effective procedure designed to minimise disruption to your day. Our practitioners will ensure you are comfortable throughout, and we’ll provide you with all necessary aftercare instructions before you leave.
You can receive verruca needling treatment at Bodytonic Clinic. We have several clinics located in Canada Water and Stratford. We specialise in various skin treatments, including verruca needling, delivered by highly trained professionals. Whether you’re dealing with a single verruca or multiple warts, our clinic provides personalised consultations and treatments tailored to your needs.
Verruca needling is generally suitable for most people, especially those with persistent verrucas that haven’t responded to other treatments. However, it may not be appropriate for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as poor circulation, diabetes, or compromised immune systems.
At Bodytonic Clinic, we conduct thorough consultations to assess your health and determine if verruca needling is right for you. If you have any concerns about the procedure, we will guide you through alternative treatments or solutions.
Verruca needling is highly effective, especially for people who have tried other treatments without success. This technique stimulates your immune system to target and break down the verruca. Many clients experience significant improvement after just one session, though some might require follow-up treatments for larger or multiple verrucas.
After verruca needling, most patients begin to see visible results within 2-4 weeks. The treated verruca may appear smaller, start to peel, or eventually fall off as the body’s immune system works to eliminate the wart tissue. Full healing generally occurs in 4-6 weeks. It’s important to follow our aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible outcome and minimise the risk of complications.
Verruca needling is effective for treating verrucas in specific areas, such as the feet, where they are most common. While one treatment session can address multiple verrucas, the number of verrucas that can be treated depends on their size and location. During your consultation at Bodytonic Clinic, we’ll assess your condition and determine the best treatment plan. In some cases, additional sessions may be needed for larger or multiple verrucas, but we will work with you to achieve the best possible outcome for all affected areas.
