Swift verucca treatment- does it work?

[VetMedMum]

Before I spend £650 on a course of treatment for my son, does anyone have any real life experience of this?

They seem to claim about a 70 to 80% success rate.

but we have tried everything else.

I had it, and it was the most painful thing I’ve ever had done! I wasn’t able to go back for the follow up treatments to testify to whether it worked (the one session made no difference) but they really undersold the pain element to me. I’d see if it’s possible to pay for each session individually.

In the end, duct tape over the verruca worked. I think I had tried it before going for the Swift procedure (I’d tried literally everything else), but maybe not religiously enough.

Not sure what that is but treatment with a cryopen should work and it's a fraction of that price!

I had it done 3 times. By the third time I was climbing the walls as it got more painful each time. I still have the verucca.

Does it need treating? I asked GP what the recommened treatment is, in passing when I was there for something else.

He said leave it alone, it will go eventually and then you'll have immunity. Cover with a plaster for swimming. He also said he'd be happy to swim at the same pool on that basis, which was handy as we were members at the same club.

It did go after about 2 years, and I've never had another in the 20+ years since
