We are excited to introduce Swift Microwave Therapy to the clinic – A modern, non invasive treatment designed to target stubborn or painful plantar warts (verrucae) quickly and effectively – with no dressings, no acids and minimal downtime.
What is SWIFT?
Swift Microwave Therapy is a highly effective technology developed specifically for the treatment of plantar warts. The device delivers a precise dose of microwave energy into the effected tissue, stimulating an immune response that helps your body recognise and fight the virus causing the wart.
Unlike other treatments, Swift does not destroy tissue through extreme cold or caustic agents like acid. Instead it works by encouraging your immune system to do the work.
Does it Hurt?
Most patients experience a short, sharp sensation during treatment that lasts only a few seconds. There are no dressings or complicated aftercare instructions required.
How many treatments are required?
A typical course of treatment requires 3 appointments, 4 weeks apart. Depending on the size, number and severity of the lesions, a further ciourse of treatment may be required.
Is Swift safe for children?
Yes! Swift may be suitable for children, depending on age and individual circumstances.
