Finally, something new for warts...
What is the SWIFT Microtherapy?
Swift Microwave Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment for stubborn warts, especially ones that have not responded to other treatment methods. It uses microwave technology to target the HPV virus that causes the wart, heating it from the inside out and destroying the cells responsible for the wart's growth. The treatment is minimally invasive with no need for anesthesia or downtime after the procedure!
Why choose SWIFT?
One of the most significant advantages of Swift Microtherapy is its high success rate. Studies have shown that the treatment is effective in eliminating warts in up to 80% of cases, making it one of the most reliable options available! Additionally, the treatment does not require any post-treatment bandaging or dressings and recovery time is minimal.
What does SWIFT Microtherapy treat?
Current indications include common warts, plantar warts, nail fungus, actinic keratosis, and genital warts. Research is promising and ongoing for hidradenitis suppurativa, molluscum contagiosum, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Acne, sun spots, and MORE!
What to expect...
Swift Microtherapy for wart removal on the feet is a straightforward procedure that can be performed in a dermatology clinic. First, the affected area is cleaned to reduce the risk of infection. Then, a small handheld device is applied to the skin, delivering targeted a set number of pulses of microwave energy to the wart. The treatment typically takes only a few minutes to complete, and patients may experience a mild sensation of warmth or tingling during the procedure. No post care is required.
How many treatments can I expect?
Most patients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The number of treatments required will depend on the size and location of the warts, as well as the individual's response to the therapy. We have found the number of treatments needed from SWIFT is much lower than those with other traditional options such as freezing or "beetle juice."
Is this a medical treatment?
Yes! This treatment is medical when used on approved diagnoses. Insurance companies have different reimbursement rates for the code used to treat warts and deductibles apply.
