Service Details
SWIFT uses microwave energy to treat the virus that causes verruca & warts in a very controlled and precise way. It is the most effective treatment for verrucas & warts in the world!
The treatment takes up to 10 seconds per verruca (wart) and there are no anaesthetic or dressings required, which means you can continue your everyday activities immediately.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT
Your practitioner will take a full medical, medication & lifestyle history if you have never visited the clinic before, or review it if you have. All your information is taken in a private room and stored on our secure database for your privacy & security.
Before any treatment, your practitioner will undertake a visual and sometimes physical examination to assess the cause of your condition and the treatment plan they will follow to achieve the best outcome.
Microwave energy is delivered directly to the site of the verruca using a hand-held probe. It sends microwaves to a precise and predetermined depth leaving surrounding tissue undamaged. It targets water molecules within the skin, creating heat. This activates an immune response, which destroys the infected cells
We aim to provide professional, affordable foot care at all times. Our treatment fees therefore reflect the high standard of care we provide. CLICK HERE to view our fees for this service.
SWIFT uses microwave energy to destroy the virus that causes verruca & warts. Microwaves are a form of non-ionising radiation which means they cannot cause damage to the DNA of living things, hence they are not carcinogenic. SWIFT is safe to use on both adults and children.
It is not uncommon for patients to feel a sharp sensation, similar to an injection. Unlike most treatments for verruca, pain felt during the treatment quickly subsides, and only in rare cases is there any prolonged pain
This is dependent on how you respond to treatment. In some cases, you may require a course of treatment (treatment regime is determined by your clinician and your Podiatrist will be able to discuss this with you).
With a few exceptions, most people with skin lesions would be able to have this treatment. Swift is not recommended for use on diabetic patients, patients with implanted electronic devices or electrodes or for use close to metallic objects such as metal foot implants, jewellery etc.
