Verruca Treatment
What is SWIFT? And how does it work?
SWIFT Microwave Therapy uses non-ionising microwave energy to safely target and treat infected skin cells without damaging DNA. The microwaves agitate water molecules within the skin cells, causing them to vibrate and collide. This creates friction, which in turn generates localised heat.
Because skin cells have a high water content, the desired temperature is quickly reached within the infected tissue. The energy is precisely delivered to a controlled depth, with no lateral spread, ensuring surrounding healthy tissue remains unaffected.
Unlike treatments such as freezing or the use of acids, SWIFT therapy does not break the skin’s surface or destroy healthy tissue.
Instead, it works by stimulating the body’s natural immune response. The rapid heating helps the immune system recognise the viral infection, prompting the release of infection-fighting cells that ultimately eliminate the virus.
Gone are the days of painful and inconvenient chemical treatment of verruca!
We have invested in the revolutionary SWIFT verruca therapy which offers efficient, clean and hassle-free management of the contagious verruca infection.
Swift Microwave Therapy is a non-invasive and highly effective treatment option, offered by all our practitioners for stubborn verrucae.
Physical Effect of Each Treatment
You are unlikely to experience any major discomfort following SWIFT Microwave sessions.
It is uncommon to see much in the way of noticeable physical changes in appearance of verrucae until around 3-4 weeks post treatment.
This is because resolution starts deep in the skin tissue and not at the skin's surface.
Small black dots may appear first which indicates that the immune response is responding to treatment.
Treatment success time varies with each individual, patient age/overall health, the type of verruca and the length of time the verruca has been present are all factors.
Time scales of between 6 weeks and 9 months are typical resolution times.
