Swift is a microwave therapy treatment used by podiatrists to treat verrucae (plantar warts). It works by delivering controlled microwave energy directly into the affected tissue, which helps stimulate the body's own immune response to the virus causing the wart.
Unlike traditional treatments, Swift doesn't involve cutting, freezing or the ongoing application of topical chemicals — making it a fast, low-fuss option for many patients.
A small probe is applied directly to the wart, delivering short bursts of microwave energy that only take a few seconds per treatment area. No anaesthetic injection is required beforehand.
Your podiatrist will assess your verruca and confirm whether Swift is an appropriate treatment option for you. It's commonly used for:
Including single, isolated verrucae on the sole of the foot.
Clusters of verrucae grouped closely together.
Verrucae that haven't responded well to other treatments.
Suitable for most adult patients following an assessment.
Can be suitable for younger patients — your podiatrist will assess this individually.
A good fit for anyone who can't afford downtime from sport or training.
Swift gives our patients a fast, evidence-based alternative to traditional wart treatments.
A needle-free, non-surgical approach.
No daily applications to remember at home.
Walk out and get on with your day as normal.
Each treatment area takes only seconds.
Nothing to manage or change at home afterwards.
From active adults to younger patients.
Your podiatrist will assess your verruca and confirm whether Swift is suitable before treatment begins. Most patients describe a brief stinging or heat sensation during the microwave pulse, which passes quickly.
Swift is typically delivered as a short course of treatments spaced around a month apart, so your body has time to respond between sessions. Your podiatrist will tailor a treatment plan to your verruca.
