Overview
A faster, more reliable alternative to DIY treatments
Warts and verrucas are benign skin growths caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). While they are harmless, they can be persistent, uncomfortable, particularly verrucas on the soles of the feet, and can spread to other areas of the body or to other people.
Over-the-counter treatments such as salicylic acid can take months to work and are often ineffective on their own. At Radiant Health Clinic, warts and verrucas are treated professionally using electrocautery, a technique that uses a controlled electrical current to precisely destroy the affected tissue. This delivers significantly faster and more reliable results than self-administered treatments.

Common questions
Common questions
How is this different from over-the-counter treatments?
Over-the-counter treatments like salicylic acid work slowly and require consistent application over many weeks. Professional electrocautery destroys the lesion tissue directly in a single session, delivering faster and more reliable results.
Is the treatment painful?
Local anaesthetic is administered before treatment, so discomfort during the procedure is minimal. The area may be tender for a few days afterwards.
How long does it take to heal?
The treated area will scab and heal over 1–2 weeks. The scab should be left to fall away naturally.
Can multiple warts be treated at the same time?
Yes. Multiple lesions can be treated in a single session, which is more efficient than repeat visits.
Will the wart come back?
Electrocautery destroys the lesion effectively. However, as warts and verrucas are caused by a virus (HPV), new ones can potentially develop elsewhere. Good hygiene helps reduce the risk of spread.
