15 Jul Swift Microwave Therapy for Wart Treatment
If you’ve ever had warts, you’ll know first-hand that they’re more than cosmetic concerns; they can be painful, stubborn, and resistant to conventional treatments. Warts are skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Quite often, these lesions can be painful, persistent – and resistant to traditional treatments. The good news? Swift Microwave Therapy offers a revolutionary and effective solution.
What Causes Warts?
As mentioned, warts are caused by HPV, often prompting uncontrolled cell growth on hands, feet, or elsewhere. Plantar warts develop beneath the foot’s surface, hiding deeper than they appear and often evading the immune system’s surveillance.
Why Traditional Treatments Often Fail
- Cryotherapy (freezing): painful, blistering, variable success
- Topical acids: slow and may irritate
- Surgical removal: invasive, scar risk
These methods often target surface tissue without addressing the underlying viral infection, leading to high recurrence rates.
How Swift Microwave Therapy Works
The Science of Microwaves
Swift uses a handheld probe to deliver controlled microwave energy to the wart, targeting tissue at a precise depth. This energy rapidly heats the lesion to around 42–45 °C, without damaging surrounding skin. Think of it as the warmth you feel when you get into a hot bath.
This thermal “heat shock” compels infected cells to release stress proteins, which attract immune cells. These immune responders then identify and eliminate HPV-infected cells, helping resolve the wart at its source.
Quick, Non-invasive and Effective
- Rapid treatment sessions: Each application takes mere seconds; full appointments last around 5–15 minutes.
- Minimal discomfort: Patients feel a momentary sting or warmth for about 1–3 seconds, like a quick injection.
- No anaesthetic or dressings: The skin isn’t broken, and there’s no downtime. Our patients get on with their daily life straight after their Swift appointment.

The Swift process at footinjuryclinic
- Assess: Our podiatrists examine the wart and determine whether Swift treatment is suitable.
- Treat: They use the Swift probe to deliver the microwave pulse directly to the wart.
- Monitor: The wart clears over weeks as the immune system works.
- Repeat: Patients typically require 3–4 monthly sessions, with visible results by the second treatment.
