Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy for Verrucae at Worcester Podiatry
At Worcester Podiatry, we offer cryotherapy, a popular and effective treatment for verrucae (plantar warts). Cryotherapy involves freezing the verruca with liquid nitrogen, which destroys the infected tissue and triggers your body’s natural immune response to clear the virus.
During the procedure, the liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the verruca, rapidly freezing the tissue. This process may cause a brief stinging or burning sensation, but the discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived. Over the next few days, the treated area may blister or scab, and the verruca will gradually die and fall off as the skin heals.
Cryotherapy is a quick and efficient treatment, typically taking just a few minutes per session. Depending on the size and depth of the verruca, multiple sessions may be required, usually spaced a few weeks apart. This method is especially effective for small to medium-sized verrucae.
Cryotherapy is a safe and proven option for those looking to remove troublesome verrucae.
