WHAT IS SWIFT THERAPY?

SWIFT is medical microwave technology that is highly effective at resolving warts, verrucae or papillomas.

With a success rate of 83%, Swift wart therapy has proven itself to be the best wart therapy available.

A focused microwave signal is emitted into the skin to a predetermined depth to ensure only the wart is treated.

A process called Heat Shock occurs within infected skin cells. This causes the wart to release certain proteins into the circulatory system, allowing the immune system to recognise the infection and begin to fight the virus

HOW SAFE ARE MICROWAVES?

​

Microwaves are a form of non-ionising radiation, which means that they can not cause damage to the DNA of living things. SWIFT uses very low energy levels that are only able to vibrate water molecules within skin cells.

​

WILL I FEEL ANYTHING?

​

The rapid heating of the wart to 42-45ºC can cause discomfort, however this lasts for only less than a second. This temperature range is merely a few degrees warmer than a hot bath, and will not cause any serious tissue damage or scarring.

​

 

WHAT IF I NEED PAIN RELIEF DURING THE SWIFT TREATMENT

​

Patients have various levels of tolerance to discomfort. Most patients do not need pain relief when receiving the Swift treatment.

Our expert Podiatrists will discuss with each patient the level of discomfort the Swift treatment may cause before it is used.

​

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

This is dependent on how you respond to treatment. Most patients require 3-4 treatments 4 weeks apart or less.

No dressings are required

There is no downtime.

No self care

Your Podiatrist will be able to discuss your treatment plan
