Our Approach
With an efficacy rate of nearly 80%, Swift Pro targets the root cause of the verruca using precise microwave technology - helping your body to clear the virus naturally.
We’re also one of the only clinics in Devon and Cornwall to offer the upgraded Swift Pro system, giving our patients access to the latest and most advanced verruca treatment available.
How It Works
Swift Pro
Watch our short video to see how Swift® Pro uses gentle microwave energy to treat verrucas and warts quickly and effectively. This section explains what happens during treatment, the benefits you can expect, and a few simple precautions to keep in mind - helping you feel informed and confident before your appointment.
Microwave Therapy
Targeted Treatment
Swift® is a medical treatment that uses precisely targeted microwave energy to treat skin lesions such as verrucas (plantar warts) and warts. The microwaves are delivered through a small probe applied to the affected area of skin for a few seconds. The energy generates heat within the tissue, stimulating an immune response that helps the body to recognise and clear the underlying viral infection (caused by the human papillomavirus, HPV).
What To Expect
During The Procedure
-
The treatment involves applying the Swift® probe to the verruca or wart for short bursts, each lasting around 2 seconds.
-
Some patients experience a sharp, hot sensation during application, which typically subsides very quickly once the energy delivery stops.
-
No anaesthetic or dressings are usually required, and you can walk and continue normal activities immediately after treatment.
Benefits
of Swift Pro
-
Swift® treatment is clean and non-invasive (no breaking of the skin).
-
There is minimal post-treatment care.
-
It stimulates your body’s own immune system to target the virus, potentially leading to long-term clearance.
Precautions
and Contraindications
Swift® treatment is not suitable for individuals who:
-
Have metal implants or pacemakers near the treatment site.
-
Are pregnant.
-
Have poor sensation in the feet (for example, due to diabetic neuropathy) without prior assessment.
Please discuss any medical conditions, medications, or concerns with your podiatrist before treatment.
