Falknor's Needling - an effective verruca treatment for adults
Needling verrucae has been around since the 1960s (developed by one Mr Falknor) but is less well known than some of the topical applications of acids / caustics that gained traction after its development.
The treatment works by causing trauma the verruca using a needle, so promoting a localised immune response. Your immune system then takes over and resolution is noted approximately 5 months later.
