For many people, plantar warts can be more than just a minor inconvenience—they can become a persistent, painful, and frustrating condition. Often resistant to over-the-counter remedies and even some in-office procedures, these warts are known for their tendency to recur and linger. Fortunately, a revolutionary new treatment known as Swift microwave therapy is changing the way podiatrists approach wart removal.

If you’ve tried freezing, acids, or even surgical excision with little to no lasting relief, Swift may be the game-changer you've been waiting for. This advanced, non-invasive treatment offers a highly effective, virtually painless alternative that works with your body’s immune system to clear warts at the source.

What Are Plantar Warts and Why Are They So Stubborn?

Plantar warts are small, grainy growths that usually appear on the soles of the feet or around the toes. Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), these warts often develop in pressure points on the foot, such as the heel or ball. Because they grow inward under thick layers of skin, plantar warts can be particularly uncomfortable when walking or standing.

What makes plantar warts especially stubborn is their ability to evade the body’s immune system. The virus responsible for the wart lives in the skin and often goes undetected, which makes these warts resistant to traditional treatments like cryotherapy (freezing), salicylic acid, and minor surgical removal.

Introducing Swift Microwave Therapy: A New Era of Wart Treatment

Swift is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared technology that uses low-dose microwave energy to treat the root cause of plantar warts. Rather than physically destroying the wart tissue, Swift stimulates the body’s natural immune response to recognize and eliminate the HPV virus.

How Swift Works:

A small probe delivers controlled microwave energy into the affected skin. This energy rapidly heats the tissue, triggering an immune reaction. Over time, the immune system begins to recognize the virus and fight it off naturally. As a result, the wart begins to shrink and eventually disappears—often permanently.

This innovative process not only targets the wart virus directly but also teaches your immune system to respond to future infections more effectively.

The Benefits of Swift Wart Treatment

Patients who have experienced frustration with older wart removal methods are often amazed by the advantages Swift offers:

Painless or Minimal Discomfort: Most patients report little to no pain during treatment. The sensation is brief, lasting only 2–3 seconds.

No Downtime: You can walk out of the office and resume your normal activities immediately.

No Scarring: Unlike surgical procedures or destructive methods, Swift doesn’t break the skin, reducing the risk of scarring.

Fewer Sessions Required: Many patients see significant results in just 2–3 sessions.

Highly Effective for Stubborn and Recurrent Warts: Swift has shown success even when other treatments have failed.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Swift Treatment?

Swift is suitable for most individuals dealing with:

• Persistent or recurrent plantar warts
• Painful foot warts affecting mobility
• Warts that have resisted traditional treatments
• A desire for a faster, more comfortable treatment option

Whether you're an athlete constantly on your feet or someone simply tired of dealing with nagging warts, Swift offers a modern solution with real results.

What to Expect During a Swift Treatment Session

Each Swift session is quick, typically lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Your podiatrist will clean the area and apply the Swift probe to the wart. The microwave energy is delivered in short bursts, with each pulse lasting a couple of seconds. There is no need for numbing agents, bandages, or wound care post-treatment.

While some warts may require multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart, patients often begin to see improvement after the first visit. Because the treatment works by stimulating your immune system, results may continue to develop even after the final session.

Why Traditional Wart Treatments Fall Short

Older wart removal methods like freezing (cryotherapy), laser, and acid treatments focus on destroying the wart tissue. While these can be somewhat effective, they often:

• Cause discomfort or pain
• Require longer healing times
• Result in blisters or open wounds
• Carry a higher risk of scarring
• Do not prevent recurrence because they don’t target the virus at its source

Swift represents a shift in how we treat warts—by empowering the body to do what it was designed to do: fight infection and heal from within.
