Swift Microwave Therapy is an innovative treatment developed in the UK and licensed for the general treatment of skin lesions in Podiatry and Dermatology. This technology employs microwave energy delivered through a specialised probe to target affected tissue.

 

How it works:

• Verruca tissue, often located below the surface and difficult to treat with traditional methods, is precisely targeted by Swift.

• Microwaves generate localised heat energy as they penetrate the tissue, rapidly destroying infected tissue within a predetermined depth.

• Treatment is swift, with healing beginning immediately as treated tissue is replaced, repaired, and regenerated.

 

Does it hurt?

• Discomfort during treatment is likened to an injection or scratch lasting 2 – 3 seconds and quickly subsiding. Prolonged pain is rare.

Post-treatment:

• The treated area may feel sore but typically does not hinder normal daily activities.

Number of treatments:

• Response to treatment varies, and multiple sessions may be required, spaced around a month apart.

Who can receive this treatment?

• Most individuals with Verrucas are eligible, with exceptions including some diabetic patients, those with implanted electronic devices, or near metallic objects like foot implants from previous surgeries.
