If you’re struggling with plantar warts, the new Swift® technology offers an innovative solution. Unlike traditional treatments, which may not always be effective, Swift® has shown remarkable results in treating this stubborn condition.
Plantar warts can be tough to treat, and conventional methods like cryotherapy can be painful and often require multiple sessions. In more complex cases, these options may not work at all. Swift® changes the game by using advanced microwave technology to precisely target the affected area. This energy stimulates your body’s natural healing response, addressing the warts at their source.
The Swift® procedure is quick, virtually painless, and non-invasive. With minimal to no recovery time, it offers a clean, effective, and efficient treatment for plantar warts.
Swift® is a revolutionary, FDA-cleared technology that has proven highly effective in treating plantar warts. It uses low-dose microwave energy delivered through a specialized probe to target and treat the underlying HPV virus. By stimulating the body’s natural immune response, Swift® addresses the root cause of the warts, rather than just masking the symptoms. This cutting-edge treatment offers a precise and effective solution for removing plantar warts at their source.
What to Expect with Swift® Treatment
The Swift® protocol typically involves 3 to 4 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart to align with your body’s natural immune cycle. Each session lasts only 5-10 minutes and follows a “sock off, sock on” approach: there’s minimal debridement, no skin disruption, and no need for bandages. There is no at-home treatment required between sessions, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately after each treatment.
How Effective is Swift®?
Swift® is highly effective because it leverages the power of your immune system to directly target the root cause of plantar warts—the HPV virus. This approach significantly enhances the success rate compared to other treatment methods that only address the symptoms.
Does it Hurt?
Pain levels vary from patient to patient and depend on the specific wart and location. Most people experience a brief period of discomfort when the infected tissue’s temperature is rapidly elevated during the 2-second energy dose. However, this sensation quickly subsides once the energy delivery stops, and there is minimal to no pain afterward. In fact, many patients report an immediate reduction in pain levels. After treatment, you can go about your day without any disruption to your normal activities.
When to See Us
If you suspect you have a plantar wart or are seeking removal, it’s important to consult a podiatrist as soon as possible. Delaying treatment may cause the wart to persist or worsen. Watch out for these common symptoms of plantar warts:
- Painful “pebbles” in your shoes or discomfort while walking.
- Pain when compressing the sides of the lesion.
- A circular, flat spot on the skin with a depressed center.
- A wart that appears yellowed, crusty, or has small black dots in the middle.
- Pain, bleeding, or a change in color of the lesion.
- Previous treatments haven’t worked, and the wart either reoccurs or spreads.
- Discomfort that interferes with regular activities.
- Poor sensation or numbness in your feet.
- Uncertainty whether the lesion is a wart.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or simply want to confirm whether it’s a wart, don’t wait—schedule an appointment with us today. Swift® treatment could be the solution you need for lasting relief.
