Why Choose Swift
Why Swift microwave therapy is one of the most effective verruca treatments available
Extremely High Success Rate
One of the most effective medical verruca treatments available — Swift succeeds where traditional treatments often fail.
Fast Treatment Time
Each Swift session takes just seconds — typically around 10 seconds of microwave exposure per verruca.
No Open Wounds
Unlike acids or needling, Swift does not break the skin surface — no bleeding, no dressings, no wound care needed.
Minimal Recovery Time
You can walk, work, exercise and continue normal life immediately after treatment — no downtime or activity restrictions.
Suitable for Adults & Children
A popular option for parents and young people — especially for school, sports and swimming.
Targets Stubborn Verrucae
Ideal for long-standing verrucae that have not responded to cryotherapy, acids, or over-the-counter treatments.
The Swift Treatment Process
What happens during Swift microwave therapy?
Your Swift verruca treatment is simple and straightforward.
Verruca Reduction
We gently reduce the hard skin over the verruca using a sterile scalpel. This is painless and allows the Swift microwave energy to penetrate more effectively to the infected tissue below.
Swift Microwave Application
The Swift applicator is applied directly to the verruca for a short 2-second energy activation. This process is repeated several times, giving a total exposure time of approximately 10 seconds per lesion. You may feel a brief burst of heat — this is normal.
Immune Response Activation
The microwave energy penetrates the tissue to target the infected cells without breaking the skin surface. This stimulates a precise immune response that enables your body to recognise and clear the verruca virus (HPV) safely and effectively.
Normal Life Immediately
There is no dressing, no wound, and no recovery time. You can walk, work, attend school, exercise, and shower as usual straight after treatment.
Follow-Up Once a Month
Most patients require 3–4 Swift sessions for full resolution, depending on the size, duration, and depth of the verruca. Sessions are spaced 4 weeks apart to allow the immune system time to work.
Immune-Driven Clearance
Swift works by triggering your immune system to clear the infection — meaning the verruca is less likely to return. The verruca naturally clears over the following weeks as your body eliminates the virus.

FAQs
Your Swift Microwave Therapy Questions Answered
Swift microwave therapy is a highly advanced, medical-grade verruca treatment that uses very short bursts of microwaves to heat and destroy the infected verruca tissue. Unlike acids or freezing, Swift does not break or damage the skin surface. Instead, it stimulates a strong immune response that enables the body to recognise and clear the verruca virus (HPV).
Most patients need 3–4 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the size, duration, and depth of the verruca. Your podiatrist will assess your specific case and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick, sharp heat lasting 2–3 seconds — immediately gone once the applicator is removed. Children tolerate Swift very well. We take our time, explain the treatment clearly, and make the experience calm and comfortable.
No — Swift stimulates your immune system to recognise and clear the infection. The body naturally clears the verruca over the following weeks. This immune-driven clearance means the verruca is less likely to return compared to treatments that simply remove tissue.
Yes — Swift microwave therapy is safe for children, teenagers, and young adults. Our clinic is highly experienced in treating children's verruca cases and we are known for being gentle, reassuring, and child-friendly. We explain everything clearly and work at their pace.
Yes — you can continue normal activities straight away. There is no dressing, no wound, and no recovery time. You can walk, work, attend school, exercise, and shower as usual immediately after treatment.
Swift has a lower recurrence rate than most treatments because it triggers an immune response rather than just removing tissue. However, no verruca treatment offers a 100% guarantee against recurrence — new HPV exposure is always possible.
In many cases, yes — but this should only be done if your podiatrist agrees that it is appropriate for your specific presentation. Combining treatments without clinical guidance can reduce effectiveness or cause complications.
Swift has one of the highest success rates of any verruca treatment available in UK podiatry. It is especially recommended for stubborn, large, deep, painful, or long-standing verrucae, and for verrucae that have not responded to cryotherapy or acids. Swift does not break the skin and requires no wound care or recovery time.

Yes — Swift is effective for mosaic verruca clusters. Each individual verruca within the cluster is treated during the session. Mosaic verrucae often require the full course of 3–4 treatments for complete clearance.
No special preparation is needed. Just wear or bring comfortable shoes and socks. Avoid using corn plasters, acids, or attempting to cut or file the verruca yourself before your appointment, as this can make assessment and treatment more difficult.
