Overview
Swift Verruca Treatment is a non-invasive option for verrucae that have not responded to over-the-counter treatments or have continued to return.
Treatment is delivered using Swift®️ microwave therapy, which applies a controlled dose of energy to the affected tissue. It is carried out in clinic, with no need for acids, freezing, or dressings, and normal activity can usually be resumed after the appointment.
About Swift Treatment
Swift is a clinic-based treatment that uses microwave energy delivered directly to the verruca. Treatment is quick, does not require dressings, and does not involve acids or cryotherapy.
It is often considered for verrucae that are persistent, painful, or not responding to other treatments. A course of treatment is usually recommended, with the number of sessions depending on the size, duration, and response of the verruca.
