At London Wart Clinic, we provide detailed surgical removal and electrosurgery for plantar warts (verrucas). These methods are designed to ensure thorough eradication of the wart and underlying virus.

• Surgical Removal: This procedure involves carefully excising the wart with a scalpel under local anaesthesia, ensuring minimal pain. The area may be stitched to aid in healing and reduce scarring.
• Electrosurgery: This technique uses a high-frequency electrical current to remove the wart tissue. After numbing the area with local anaesthesia, an electric needle is used to cut away the wart. This method is particularly effective for larger or deeper warts and ensures precise removal with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.

• Treatment Type: Surgical Removal, Electrosurgery
• Time: Approximately 30 minutes per session
• Back to Work: Typically within 1-2 days, depending on individual healing
• Back to Gym: Within 1-2 weeks, depending on comfort and healing progress
• Results Seen: Immediate removal of wart, full healing within a few weeks
• Walking Comfort: Significant improvement in walking comfort within a few days
• Getting Active: Resume light activities within a day; avoid high-impact activities until fully healed

We provide free aftercare to ensure a smooth recovery process. After treatment, keep the treated area clean and dry, avoid picking at the site, and follow specific instructions provided by your surgeon. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to regular activities shortly after the procedure. Our team is available for any follow-up care needed to monitor healing and prevent recurrence. Apply prescribed topical antibiotics to prevent infection and wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes to aid in healing. Avoid high-impact activities until fully healed. Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled to ensure optimal recovery and address any concerns.
