SWIFT MICROWAVE THERAPY
Breakthrough Swift microwave therapy
for treating stubborn verrucae
What is Swift?
Swift verruca treatment is a new technology, developed in the UK, which has been licensed for the general treatment of verrucas and warts in podiatry. This new treatment is particularly effective when used on stubborn warts and verrucas. Microwaves have been used clinically for over 30 years.
Swift uses microwave energy delivered through a special probe applied to the skin to treat the affected verruca tissue. Microwaves work by generating heat in the verruca tissue, focussed under the probe, to a maximum depth of 5mm.

Frequently asked questions by patients considering Swift microwave therapy
Does it hurt?
Like many treatments for skin lesions, some minor discomfort may be experienced. Before treatment your podiatrist or dermatologist may decide to reduce the lesion with a blade. Pain levels vary from person to person but most people undergoing Swift liken it to a pain similar to an injection or a scratch, lasting 2-3 seconds and then quickly subsiding.
What can I do after treatment?
In some cases, the treated area may feel sore but will not prevent you undertaking normal daily activities.
How many treatments will I need?
This is dependent on how you respond to the treatment. In some cases, you may need more than one treatment (these can be from 14 days to over a month apart depending on the response). Your Podiatrist will be able to discuss this with you.
