Swift Microwave Therapy

Plantar warts, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), are stubborn skin lesions that often appear on the soles of the feet, making walking painful and everyday activities uncomfortable.

At Haberfield Foot Clinic, we offer the latest in wart treatment technology—Swift Microwave Therapy, a non-invasive and highly effective method for treating persistent warts.

What Is Swift Microwave Therapy?

Swift is a medical-grade microwave device that treats plantar warts by delivering a precise dose of energy into the infected tissue. This stimulates a natural immune response that targets the underlying HPV infection—without the need for chemicals, creams, or surgical intervention.

Unlike traditional wart treatments that destroy tissue, Swift works by activating the body’s immune system to clear the virus from within.

How Swift Works:

• Microwave energy penetrates the skin to a pre-set depth.

• Heat generated by the device stimulates dendritic cells and T-cell activity.

• The immune system begins recognising and destroying the virus.

• No need for breaking the skin, dressings, or downtime.

Why Choose Swift for Plantar Warts?

Traditional wart treatments such as cryotherapy, acids, and curettage often result in recurrence, discomfort, or tissue damage. Swift offers:

• Quick 5–10 minute sessions

• No anaesthetic or needling required

• No damage to surrounding healthy skin

• Minimal discomfort during and after treatment

• Proven efficacy with high clearance rates

• No downtime—you can return to normal activity immediately

Studies show Swift Microwave Therapy can achieve clearance in as little as 3 sessions, depending on the wart’s size, depth, and immune response.

What to Expect with Swift Treatment

1. Initial Assessment

Your podiatrist will evaluate your wart(s) and determine if Swift is appropriate. A full foot skin and biomechanical assessment may also be conducted.

2. Swift Application

Treatment takes just a few minutes. You may feel a short burst of heat during energy delivery, but most patients tolerate it well.

3. Immune Response

Unlike destructive therapies, results are not immediate. Over the following weeks, your body’s immune system will begin to naturally clear the wart.

4. Follow-Up

Most patients require 3 sessions spaced one month apart. Some may require additional treatments depending on wart size and immune response.

Who Can Have Swift Therapy?

Swift is suitable for:

• Adults and older children with painful or persistent plantar warts

• Patients with multiple or mosaic warts

• People who’ve tried other treatments without success

It is not suitable for individuals with metal implants near the treatment site, pacemakers, or severe immune suppression—your podiatrist will screen for contraindications.
