Verrucae Treatment - SWIFT

Verrucae can exist several millimetres below the skin surface, making it difficult to treat using traditional methods, resulting in either untreated verrucae or significant skin damage.

 

Swift® is the pioneering microwave therapy system for verrucae.

 

With treatment success rates of 84% and over, Swift provides a precise and easy way of treating verrucae and other benign skin lesions and is the worlds leading Verrucae treatment!

 

Swift® delivers a precise, highly-controlled energy dose. As microwaves travel into the skin, water molecules begin to collide creating a localised heat energy causing inflammation and destroys infected skin within a predetermined depth.

 

In just a few seconds treatment has been completed, leaving the body to absorb and replace the treated tissue.

 

Treatment will need to be repeated every 4 weeks for a minimum of three treatments.

 

Swift® is a good option for those with an active lifestyle due to the lack of need for dressings and the time between appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

The aim is three but a number of factors may lead to more.

We all experience pain in different ways. It can be uncomfortable for one or two seconds. Feels similar to touching a newly burned match or a hot pan. Anaesthetic is available but if administered you will be unable to drive for several hours.

In some cases the treated area may feel sore but will not prevent you from undertaking your normal daily activities.

Microwave treatment is not recommended for patients with diabetes, must not be used near metallic implants and patients with electronic devices.

No, however very occasionally you may develop a blister/ blood blister and even ulceration post treatment in which case a simple dressing may be applied.
