FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Swift® Microwave Therapy?
Swift® Microwave Therapy uses controlled microwave energy to treat verrucae beneath the surface of the skin. Rather than simply removing the visible lesion, it works by stimulating your immune system to recognise and fight the virus responsible.
This makes it particularly useful for verrucae that have not responded to traditional treatments.
If you are unsure whether your symptoms relate to a verruca, you can learn more about Verrucae (Plantar Warts) and how they develop.
What conditions can Swift® treat?
Swift® is specifically designed for the treatment of verrucae, including:
- Stubborn or long-standing verrucae
- Painful verrucae affecting walking or activity
- Multiple or recurring verrucae
- Verrucae that have not responded to other treatments
For patients exploring alternative options, we may also discuss treatments such as Verrutop® Treatment or CryoIQ® PRO (Cryotherapy Treatment) depending on your individual needs.
How does Swift® Microwave Therapy work?
During treatment, a small probe delivers microwave energy directly into the affected area. This creates a controlled heat response within the tissue.
This process helps to:
- Stimulate your immune system
- Target the underlying viral infection
- Encourage your body to clear the verruca naturally
Because the treatment works below the surface, it can be more effective than methods that only treat the outer layers of skin.
What does treatment feel like?
Each application lasts only a few seconds. You may feel a brief, intense sensation of heat during treatment, but this passes quickly.
There is no need for anaesthetic, and most patients tolerate the treatment well.
One of the key advantages of Swift® is that there is no need for dressings afterwards, and you can return to your normal activities immediately.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients benefit from a short course of treatments, typically spaced a few weeks apart. The exact number will depend on the size, duration, and location of the verruca.
Many patients begin to see improvement as treatment progresses, with continued resolution over time as the immune system responds.
Is Swift® Microwave Therapy safe?
Swift® is a well-established and widely used treatment for verrucae. However, it is not suitable for everyone.
It may not be recommended if you have certain implanted electronic medical devices, such as a pacemaker, or in specific medical circumstances.
We will always review your medical history and discuss any considerations before proceeding.
