About SWIFT Technology
Revolutionary microwave therapy that works with your body to eliminate foot warts naturally
What is SWIFT?
SWIFT is a cutting-edge microwave therapy system developed specifically for the treatment of warts caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). As podiatrists, we primarily use SWIFT to treat plantar warts (verrucae) and other foot warts.
Unlike traditional treatments that attempt to destroy the wart tissue directly, SWIFT takes a different approach. It uses precisely controlled microwave energy to trigger a powerful immune response, essentially teaching your body to recognise and fight the underlying viral infection.
This innovative approach is why SWIFT achieves such impressive results - an 83% success rate within just 3 treatments - while minimising discomfort and requiring no aftercare.
How SWIFT Works
A four-step process that harnesses your body's natural defenses
Microwave Energy Delivery
The SWIFT device delivers a precise, focused dose of microwave energy into the skin where the wart virus resides.
Heat Shock Response
The energy creates localised heat (42–45°C) for just 2 seconds, causing infected cells to release heat shock proteins.
Immune System Activation
These proteins alert your immune system to the presence of HPV, triggering a targeted response against the virus.
Natural Elimination
Your body mounts an immune response that naturally eliminates the wart from within, often resolving the infection completely.
Why SWIFT is Different
Traditional wart treatments like freezing, acids, and surgical removal all work by destroying the infected tissue. While this can remove the visible wart, the underlying virus often remains, leading to recurrence.
SWIFT takes a fundamentally different approach. By triggering an immune response, it addresses the root cause - the HPV infection itself. When successful, your body develops immunity to that strain of the virus, preventing recurrence.
This is why SWIFT often succeeds where other treatments have failed, and why many patients experience complete resolution of even stubborn, long-standing warts.
SWIFT vs Traditional Treatments
No open wounds
No broken skin means no infection risk
No dressings required
Walk out and continue your day normally
Targets the virus
Addresses root cause, not just symptoms
Brief discomfort
Just 2 seconds of mild heat sensation
Safety & Comfort
SWIFT has been designed with patient safety as the top priority
Controlled Temperature
SWIFT reaches 42–45°C for only 2 seconds – carefully calibrated for effectiveness without tissue damage.
Non-Ionizing Radiation
Unlike X-rays, microwave energy is non-ionizing and does not cause DNA damage or increase cancer risk.
Proven Technology
Microwave technology has been safely used in medicine for decades. SWIFT is specifically designed for dermatological use.
Clinically Tested
Extensive clinical trials have demonstrated both the safety and efficacy of SWIFT treatment for warts.
