Verruca treatment in Glasgow

Verrucae can hang around for months or years. For your first visit, book the normal 45-minute new-patient podiatry appointment (£72). We will assess the area and explain your options. If Swift or another treatment is suitable, it may be possible on the day, subject to time and availability; we will explain any extra charge first.

Before and after

Small, newer verruca? You may only need conservative care. Long-standing or recurring verruca? That is where Swift, needling or a combined treatment package may be more appropriate.

Evidence and positioning

Why we start with assessment, not guesswork.

There is no single verruca treatment that suits everyone. The right choice depends on duration, depth, hard skin, previous treatment, immune response and whether you need a faster, more active route.

83%

Swift microwave evidence

Published microwave therapy data reports complete resolution around 83.3% in one review, with earlier pilot data around 75.9%.

69%

Needling evidence

A published review of Falknor needling reported complete resolution in 69% of verruca cases. Other studies vary, so assessment matters.

Plan

Our clinical position

We do not sell one treatment to everyone. We decide whether conservative care, Swift, needling or a package route is the most sensible next step.

Evidence references: microwave therapy review, Falknor needling review. Individual results vary and no treatment can guarantee clearance.

Treatment routes

Choose the route after we have seen it.

Your podiatry first appointment gives us time to assess the problem, check any hard skin and previous treatment history, and discuss which options may suit you. Further treatment is charged separately and agreed with you first.

Newer verruca

Conservative care

For small or newer verrucae where debridement, advice and simple treatment may be enough.

Stubborn verruca

Swift microwave

For verrucae that need a stronger immune-stimulating route without cutting the skin.

Standard Swift treatment is 30 minutes and £130 per session without local anaesthetic, after a podiatry assessment confirms it is suitable. A longer local-anaesthetic appointment can be discussed and arranged separately when clinically appropriate.

Long-standing

Needling

For persistent verrucae where a local anaesthetic procedure may be the better route.

Complete package

Combined pathway

For more stubborn cases where debridement, treatment and review need to be planned together.

How to begin

Start with a proper podiatry appointment.

Verruca care begins with the same thorough new-patient appointment as other podiatry concerns. If Swift or another treatment is suitable, we may be able to provide it during that visit, depending on clinical suitability, time and availability. We will explain any additional cost before treatment.

Does booking commit me to Swift or needling?
