Swift is an advanced treatment used for plantar warts, also known as verrucae. Instead of cutting or freezing the wart, Swift uses targeted microwave energy to stimulate the body’s natural immune response.
Plantar warts can be stubborn, painful, and frustrating, especially when they keep returning or do not respond to standard treatments. Swift offers a modern option for treating warts on the feet.
What Are Plantar Warts?
Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus, also known as HPV. They often appear on the soles of the feet and may feel like a small lump, hard spot, or painful area when standing or walking.
They can sometimes be mistaken for corns or calluses, so a podiatry assessment is important before starting treatment.
How Swift Works
Swift delivers a controlled dose of microwave energy into the wart tissue. This energy creates a local response in the skin, encouraging the immune system to recognise and respond to the wart.
There is no cutting, no dressing, and usually no need to stop normal daily activities after treatment.surgery.
What to Expect
Treatment is quick, but you may feel a short, sharp heat sensation during application. Most appointments are brief, and your podiatrist will explain what to expect before treatment begins.
More than one session may be required, depending on the size, location, and duration of the wart.treatment.surgery.
