01 Oct Swift Treatment for Warts
Ever since footinjuryclinic started using Swift Microwave Therapy as a new way to treat warts, our podiatrists and patients alike have found it to be very effective. And this has been endorsed by podiatrist Jonathan Vernham in New Zealand as “game-changer”, as well as by podiatry studies in the UK and the USA for its high success rate and minimal discomfort.
Our podiatrist Russel Rubin agrees, “I have been using Swift therapy on my patients for years now and I can see the results. It works – and does so quickly and with long-lasting results. My patients typically require 2-4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the size and severity of the wart. Most sessions last no more than 10 minutes, allowing them to get back to their regular day right after seeing me at footinjuryclinic.”

CASE STUDY: This 11-year-old patient came in with this stubborn wart on her toe. It took just 2 Swift sessions to be successfully removed.
How Does Swift Microwave Therapy Work?
Swift Microwave Therapy uses microwave energy to target the root cause of warts – the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), offering patients an effective alternative to traditional methods like cryotherapy or surgical removal.
Swift uses low-energy microwaves to heat the tissue infected by the HPV virus, which is responsible for causing warts. Unlike treatments that only address the wart’s surface, Swift targets the infection deep within the tissue, triggering the body’s immune system to fight off the virus naturally.
Explains our podiatrist Trevor Poskewitz, “This internal immune response is crucial for eliminating the root cause of warts, rather than just treating their visible symptoms. Swift therapy works at a cellular level, ensuring that the infection is dealt with comprehensively, which is why it’s known for significantly reducing recurrence.”

CASE STUDY: 3 Swift treatments of a very stubborn wart was all it took for this patient who had endured a very long period of with cryotherapy.
Key Benefits of Swift
High Success Rate:
According to research, Swift has shown a higher success rate compared to conventional treatments. Clinical evidence suggests that over 80% of patients see full wart clearance after just three sessions, which is much faster and more reliable than other therapies. This success rate makes Swift the preferred option for podiatrists treating persistent warts, especially those that have resisted other methods.
Minimal Pain and Discomfort:
Unlike cryotherapy, which can be painful and cause blistering, or surgical methods that may lead to scarring, the sensation felt during a Swift treatment is a brief feeling of heat/warmth that lasts a few seconds. There is minimal discomfort.
No Downtime or Scarring:
Swift treatment leaves no scars or blisters, allowing patients to return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. This makes it an excellent option for treating warts on the feet, where healing complications can arise from more invasive treatments.
Non-Invasive and Quick:
Swift therapy doesn’t require cutting, freezing, or injections. Sessions last around 5-10 minutes, and require no special aftercare, unlike traditional wart treatments, which can involve bandaging and follow-up care.
Immune System Activation:
Since Swift stimulates the body’s immune system to fight the HPV virus, it activates an immune response and helps the body recognise and eliminate the virus, which in turn reduces the likelihood of the wart returning.

CASE STUDY: We even use Swift to treat warts on the hand and arm. Here are the results after 1 Swift treatment, one month later.
Swift is Changing the Future of Wart Treatment
If you’re dealing with persistent or painful warts and haven’t found success with conventional treatments, Swift microwave therapy at footinjuryclinic might be the answer. Our podiatrists agree that Swift is setting a new standard in wart removal due to its high success rate, minimal discomfort, and non-invasive nature.
