Doctors and researchers report a new approach for treating stubborn verrucas that uses microwaves to heat the affected foot area. The procedure is described as short, taking around 15 minutes, and aims to eliminate the virus that causes verrucas by applying controlled thermal energy.
Both outlets note that routine availability through the NHS is limited. As a result, some patients may consider paying privately, depending on local services and costs. The coverage focuses on whether the microwave option is practical and worth it compared with existing treatments, but it does not provide detailed comparative outcomes, long-term cure rates, or head-to-head data against standard therapies within the excerpts provided.
