Nail Surgery
A minor surgical procedure in-clinic to remove ingrown or damaged toe-nails. The safe and effective procedure is carried out using local anaesthetic and can be used to remove or resect all of the nail (total nail avulsion) or part of the nail (partial nail avulsion). The nail can be removed permanently or allowed to regrow if desired.
SWIFT Verruca
Treatment
Verrutop Verruca Treatment
Verrutop is a professional, non-invasive topical treatment for warts and verrucas that uses a Nitrizinc complex to mummify and eliminate infected tissue. Applied by a podiatrist, it is generally painless, highly effective, and suitable for adults and children (6+), with many patients cured within 1-6 sessions. Verrutop acts on the virus by drying (desiccation), which causes the wart to detach as healthy skin forms beneath it. It is particularly favoured for children and those with sensitive or difficult-to-treat verrucas.
Verruca Removal - Needling
A minor procedure known as ‘needling’ to remove viral warts (verrucae) from any part of the foot. This procedure is carried out safely and painlessly - with no scarring - using local anaesthetic to numb the lesion or the foot.
