Swift Microwave Therapy

The Swift devices use microwave energy to rapidly elevate tissue temperature and create a precise and localised cell response to treat Verrucae or plantar warts. It is a targeted and non-invasive treatment which prioritises safety and effectiveness.

  • A simple treatment with predictable outcomes
  • No smoke, no anaesthetic, no post-procedural dressing
  • The potential for much shorter appointment times*
  • Backed by extensive independent clinical research
  • Multi-million-pound investment in clinical trials

* when compared with dry needling, electro-cautery, and laser

Swift is approximately 75 – 80% effective after 4 treatments. However, verruca(s) are caused by viruses with no definite cure, and success rates for all verruca treatments may vary and require more than 4 treatments. Moor Podiatry therefore cannot guarantee success levels of the treatment and full resolution of the verruca.

 Does it hurt?

It is not uncommon for patients to experience discomfort during the treatment. Unlike most treatments for plantar warts, pain felt during the Swift treatment usually subsides quickly. The single use tip is applied to each verruca for 2 seconds and repeated 5 times.

 What can I do after treatment?

As Swift treatment does not break the skin, there is no need for dressings or bandages. You can continue with your day as normal and no need to refrain from water or sports.

 How many treatments will I need?

This is dependent on how you respond to treatment. The average number of treatments required is three or four.
