SWIFT Therapy for Plantar Warts

What is SWIFT Therapy?

SWIFT Microwave Therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment aimed at eliminating recurring plantar warts once and for all. This advanced technology employs microwave energy to precisely target and eliminate the root causes of warts caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

How Does SWIFT Work?

SWIFT therapy utilizes a specialized probe to deliver controlled microwave energy directly to the affected tissue. This method is designed to quickly raise the temperature within the wart, effectively destroying the HPV-infected cells and activating the body’s natural immune response to fight the virus.

Conditions Treated by SWIFT:

  • Plantar Warts: Particularly effective for treating these persistent and often painful skin lesions on the soles of the feet.

Key Benefits of SWIFT Therapy:

  • Targeted Treatment: Focuses precisely on the wart, minimizing impact to surrounding healthy tissue.
  • Minimal Discomfort: Most patients experience only a brief sensation akin to a pinch or the snap of an elastic band.
  • No Downtime: No dressings are required post-treatment, allowing patients to immediately return to daily activities.
  • Reduced Scarring Risk: Lower risk of scarring compared to more invasive wart removal methods.
  • Enhanced Immune Response: Stimulates the body’s immune system to reduce wart recurrence.

FAQs

In order to deliver energy into the body, microwaves are produced inside a unique, compact generator. As soon as the treatment begins, Swift delivers a precise, highly controlled dose of microwaves that work within a pre-determined field – and no deeper. Water molecules within the tissue begin colliding and creating localized heat energy which targets the root cause of the condition.

Microwaves are a form of non-ionising radiation, which means that they can’t cause damage to the DNA of living things. The same fundamental technology that powers Swift, is also being used in the treatment of lung, liver, kidney and breast cancer in countries all over the world.

There are no harmful side effects to the Swift Treatment. The treatment is not recommended for patients with pacemakers and you should avoid interaction with metal implants. Do not point the Swift Applicator at the eyes or the testes.
