Swift Microwave Therapy.

What is Swift Microwave Therapy?

Swift Microwave Therapy is an innovative, TGA-approved treatment designed to target and eliminate plantar warts (verrucae) using microwave technology. This cutting-edge treatment works by delivering low-dose microwave energy directly to the infected tissue, triggering an immune response to eradicate the virus causing the wart.

Does Swift Microwave Therapy Hurt?

Like many treatments for skin lesions, some minor discomfort may be experienced. Before treatment your podiatrist may decide to reduce the lesion with a blade. Pain levels vary from person to person but most people undergoing Swift liken it to a pain similar to an injection or a scratch, lasting 2 - 3 seconds then quickly subsiding.

How Does Swift Microwave Therapy Work?

Assessment: Your podiatrist will evaluate the affected area and confirm the diagnosis of a plantar wart.

  1. Treatment: The Swift device is used to deliver a precise dose of microwave energy to the infected tissue. The treatment is quick, with each application lasting just a few seconds.

  2. Immune Response: The microwaves stimulate a natural immune response, encouraging your body to fight off the virus over time.

  3. Follow-Up: Typically, 3-4 sessions are required, spaced 4 weeks apart, for optimal results.

Why Choose Swift Microwave Therapy.

Quick and non-invasive: Sessions are fast, with no need for anesthesia or downtime.

  1. Targeted and effective: Swift focuses on the root cause of the wart without damaging surrounding tissue.

  2. Long-lasting results: It stimulates your body’s immune system, reducing the risk of recurrence.
