WHAT ARE WARTS?
Warts are a common contagious skin infection in the outer layers of the skin which are caused by the HPV (Human Papillomavirus).
When they occur on the sole of your foot they can be painful. They can spread to other areas of our body and from person to person. Warts are generally difficult to get rid of, as they are excellent at evading the body's immune system.
Did you know that it also also within our scope of practice to treat warts on your fingers/hands?

WHAT IS SWIFT THERAPY

SWIFT is medical microwave technology that is highly effective at resolving warts, verrucae or papillomas.
A focused microwave signal is emitted into the skin to a predetermined depth to ensure that only the wart is treated.
A process called Heat Shock occurs within the infected skin cells. This causes the wart to release certain proteins into the circulatory system, allowing the immune system to recognise the infection and begin to fight the virus.

WILL I FEEL ANYTHING?
The rapid heating of the wart to 42-45°C can cause discomfort, however this lasts only for a second and is generally well tolerated. This will not cause any serious tissue damage or scarring.
