Stubborn Warts Keep Coming Back? Try SWIFT Instead!
Plantar warts can feel impossible to get rid of, and at From the Ground Up Podiatry & Wellness Spa, we understand your frustration. That’s why we offer SWIFT Microwave Therapy, a revolutionary approach with a higher chance of lasting success! Check out our blog below to learn more about it.
Why Won’t They Go Away?
Plantar warts are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). This virus infects the skin cells on the soles of your feet, often entering through tiny cuts or scrapes. Because the virus lives within your skin cells, simply treating the surface often isn’t enough, leading to frustrating recurrence.
DIY Disasters & Over-the-Counter Letdowns
Let’s be honest: many home remedies and drugstore treatments just don’t cut it for persistent plantar warts.
- Salicylic Acid: Requires months of diligent daily application, can irritate healthy skin, and often fails to penetrate deep enough to eliminate the virus completely.
- Duct Tape/Vinegar/Other Home Remedies: Lack scientific evidence and are generally ineffective against the underlying virus.
Traditional Treatments, Typical Drawbacks
Even professional treatments have their downsides:
- Cryotherapy (Freezing): Can be quite painful, often requires multiple sessions, and can cause blistering or scarring. Recurrence is still common.
- Surgical Excision: Invasive, carries risks of infection and scarring, requires downtime, and doesn’t guarantee the virus won’t return nearby.
The SWIFT Solution: Harnessing Your Immune System
SWIFT Microwave Therapy works fundamentally differently. Instead of just trying to destroy the wart tissue, SWIFT delivers precise, controlled microwave energy into the wart.
- How it Works: This energy heats the infected cells, creating a controlled release of viral particles. This signals your body’s natural immune system to recognize the HPV virus and mount an attack against it.
- Targeting the Root Cause: SWIFT helps your body fight the virus itself, leading to a more complete and lasting resolution.
Why SWIFT Wins for Stubborn Warts
When compared to other methods, SWIFT offers significant advantages:
- Quick Sessions: Treatment takes just seconds per wart.
- Minimal Discomfort: Most patients feel only a brief, sharp sensation, much less painful than freezing.
- NO Downtime: You can walk out immediately and resume your normal activities.
- NO Dressings Needed: Typically, no bandages or special dressings are required after treatment.
- High Success Rates: Clinical studies show impressive success rates, often higher than traditional methods.
- Lower Recurrence: By triggering an immune response against the virus, SWIFT significantly reduces the likelihood of the wart coming back.
