Swift Microwave Therapy
Effectively treat your stubborn warts and verruca with Swift Microwave Therapy, the ground breaking treatment that targets the source of the problem.
Do you have a stubborn Verruca?
Verrucae are very common. Caused by the Human Papiloma Virus (HPV), and living on the very edge of the body, they are difficult for your immune system to spot and treat. Here at T A Clinic, we are proud to offer Swift Microwave Therapy, a highly effective solution to these often difficult to treat skin problems.
What is Swift Microwave Therapy?
Swift Microwave Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses microwave energy to target and eliminate verrucae. Unlike traditional treatments, which may involve painful procedures or lengthy recovery times, Swift therapy is quick, efficient, and minimally invasive.
How Does Swift Microwave Therapy Work?
The Swift system delivers a precise, highly controlled dose of microwave energy directly to the affected area. This energy penetrates the skin and heats the tissue, stimulating an immune response to attack and destroy the HPV virus. The treatment typically takes only a few minutes and requires no anesthesia or downtime.

Swift represents an innovative technology originating from the UK. The treatment involves utilising microwave energy to swiftly raise the temperature of the tissue between 41-43°C. Employing a non-invasive approach, a probe is positioned over the verrucae, emitting microwaves to penetrate approximately 5mm deep into the affected tissue. This activation of the body's immune system aids in the natural clearance of the virus responsible for warts and verrucaes.

The response to the treatment varies from patient to patient. The typical procedure involves 3-4 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, with a follow-up after 12 weeks. This protocol yields an approximate success rate of 80-83%, which is notably higher than many available treatments. However, since verrucaes are caused by viruses, a definitive cure is not guaranteed, and success rates for all verruca treatments will differ among individuals. It's important to note that the resolution of your verrucae cannot be assured with any treatment.
Appointments usually last between 15-30mins

With a few exceptions, most people with verrucae would be able to have SWIFT® treatment. The Podiatrist will carry out an assessment prior to treatment to advise you on this.

The cost of Swift procedures may differ based on the individual and the number of necessary treatments. Some Swift patients present with persistent and extensive verrucae lesions, while others may have smaller, isolated lesions. Currently, we provide a single Swift session for £140

Everyone has different levels of pain threshold and the sensation varies from person to person. However, like any other treatments for skin lesions, some discomfort is expected. It has been described to feel like a bee sting or a pin-prick sensation which usually lasts 1-2 seconds, this then quickly subsides and disappears. In rare cases, some people may experience minor discomfort or tingling which could last for up to 24hrs before dissipating completely.
