Say Goodbye to Plantar Warts: Why Swift Microwave Wart Removal is Your Best Bet
If you’ve ever dealt with plantar warts, you understand how frustrating and painful they can be. These pesky growths are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and they commonly appear on the soles of your feet, making every step a reminder of their presence. Thankfully, there’s a revolutionary treatment option that has been a game changer in plantar wart removal: Swift microwave therapy. Let’s dive into what Swift microwave wart removal is, how it works, and why you may want to consider using it.
What is Swift Wart Removal?
Swift wart therapy is a state-of-the-art treatment that uses microwave energy to target and destroy the viral cells responsible for plantar warts. This non-invasive method is effective, and most importantly, requires no downtime.
How Does Swift Microwave Wart Removal Work?
- Microwave Energy: Swift treatment blasts microwave energy through the wart via a hand piece. This energy penetrates the wart and produces friction of the cells, leading to an immune response.
- Precision: The process is highly targeted, within millimetres, meaning surrounding healthy tissue is unaffected. This reduces the risk of unnecessary damage or pain and speeds up recovery.
- Quick Sessions: Each treatment session lasts only about 5-10 minutes. Many patients can even return to their normal activities immediately afterward.
Benefits of Swift Technology for Plantar Warts
- No Downtime: With Swift wart therapy, you can resume your daily activities immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
- High Success Rate: Clinical studies have shown that Swift Technology boasts a high success rate for the removal of plantar warts[1]. Many patients see significant improvement after just one or two sessions.
- Fewer Side Effects: Compared to more invasive treatments, Swift has less side effects. There’s no need for anesthesia, and the risk of complications, such as infection or scarring, is lower than traditional treatment methods such as acid and cryotherapy.
Who is a Good Candidate for Swift Microwave Wart Removal?
Swift therapy is suitable for most individuals dealing with plantar warts, including children and adults. It is a fantastic option for those that enjoy playing sports or those that work on their feet, seeing as there is no downtime. However, it’s always best to consult with your podiatrist to determine if this treatment aligns with your specific needs.
What to Expect During Treatment
During your appointment, your podiatrist will:
- Assess your plantar warts and discuss your medical history.
- If deemed suitable to go ahead with treatment, they will apply a probe that delivers microwave energy to your warts
- Monitor the treatment process, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout. Take photographs at each appointment to monitor the progress of the treatments.
Most patients find the procedure to be quick and straightforward, often finishing with time to spare in their schedule.
The Future of Wart Removal
