Discuss your concerns

We will make a full assessment and discuss whether Swift treatment can help you.If you have tried various verruca treatments to no effect, then Swift microwave energy might be for you.

 Precautions include:

• The presence of metal in your foot or ankle.
• If you wear a pacemaker.
• If you have poor or limited healing capacity because of neuropathy or peripheral circulation.
• Patients who are immunosuppressed.
• Pregnancy – the effect of verruca/e treatment is reduced during this time.
• Treatment of young children.
• Patients with a low pain threshold.

Treatment Protocol

During the Appointment:

• Your podiatrist may remove some of the hard skin on the verruca before treatment.
• The Swift probe is then held in contact with the skin for about 3 to 5 seconds. The sensation is similar to an injection or scratch, and it usually only lasts for 2 to 3 seconds.
• There is no need for anesthesia or a dressing.

After the Treatment:

• In some cases, the treated area may feel sore, but it should not prevent you from doing your usual activities.
• You may experience some tenderness or redness at the treatment site, but this should subside within a few days.
• If you experience any pain or discomfort that is severe or does not go away, please contact your podiatrist.

How Many Treatments would I need?

The number of Swift treatment sessions you need will depend on how your body responds to the treatment. Most people need 3 sessions, but some people may need more. The sessions are usually 4 weeks apart. Your podiatrist will be able to discuss this with you and recommend the best course of treatment for you.
