Needling

Effective verruca needling technique in Northamptonshire

The verruca needling technique is an effective way of treating stubborn/long standing verrucas for one off urgent treatment.

How it works

It is a one-off treatment that involves stimulating the immune system within the body, involving the administration of a local anaesthetic. Needling has been found to be very effective with stubborn and persistent long standing verrucae. Three months after the appointment, we check to see if the verruca has gone.
Our success rate at our surgery has been 100 percent with this technique. (reference our testimonials)

Benefits of the needling technique:

No need to come back for weekly or monthly appointments as is usually the case with other forms of verruca treatment. At Caroline Stead Podiatry4u, we are very experienced in this technique and have found it to be highly effective.

Service and Treatment

Nail Reconstruction : This is a clinical / cosmetic coverage of a damaged nail plate (looking to improve the appearance of the Nail). Care should be taken for 24 hours after application to avoid getting the new nail plate wet and avoiding pressure. If there is damage to the nail within 7 days of the application then the clinician can access and make good as needed if requested. We are not a beauty nail bar and aim to improve the appearance of unsightly or damaged nails by this procedure. We aim to make the nail look natural after the application which provides protection to the skin and structures below.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we are aware that some appointments will need to be re-arranged or cancelled at short notice. However, we would be grateful of at least 1 week's notice of these changes.

If the a patient has to cancel an appointment for any reason, then the following costs will be charged:

• One week’s notice – no costs will be charged
• Less than one week’s notice – 50% will be charged
• 48 hours or less notice – 100% will be payable

If cancellations become frequent (the definition of frequency will be at our discretion), we will change payment terms for future appointments for the patient, so that they are paid in advance and therefore, any subsequent cancelled appointments would be non-refundable. We will give 7 days’ notice in writing if we enforce this clause.

With regard to rearrangements, if an appointment is rearranged at short notice, then nothing will be charged if that appointment is rearranged within 3 weeks of the original booked date. If a rearranged appointment is subsequently cancelled even with more than 7 days’ notice then the whole fee will be charged.
