Swift is an advanced wart treatment that uses microwave energy to stimulate your immune system to fight the wart virus. It is commonly used for stubborn or long-standing warts that have not responded to other treatments.
Most patients require 3 treatments spaced around 4 weeks apart. Some stubborn warts may need additional sessions depending on response.
Swift can cause a brief heating sensation during treatment, but it only lasts a few seconds. Most patients tolerate it well and return to normal activity immediately.
We offer a range of wart treatments at our Modbury clinic including:
- Swift microwave therapy
- Salicylic acid treatment
- Needling procedures
- Conservative wart care and debridement
Treatment is based on wart type, location, and previous treatment history.
