Swift treatment in clinic for stubborn Verrucae at The South London Foot Clinic

SWIFT THERAPY FOR VERRUCAE

South London Foot Clinic is now providing treatment with SWIFT THERAPY for verruca on the foot (and hands). SWIFT microwave technology has been developed in the UK for the treatment of verrucae. This technology uses the body's own immune response to detect and eradicate the human papillomavirus (HPV virus), commonly known as verrucae.  

WHY Can Verrucae Be So Difficult To Eradicate?

The HPV virus (verrucae) has an anti-inflammatory protein attached to it that allows the virus to evade detection. This can result in verrucae colonising the skin for years, causing cosmetic disturbance, pain and discomfort. 

What is Swift treatment? 

Swift Verruca treatment uses microwave energy that is delivered through a  probe that is applied to the skin. The skin is heated a few degrees, at the site, only a few mm depth. This elicits inflammation and an immune response. 

There are no bandages, toxic chemicals or injections needed for SWIFT Verruca Treatment. You can also get on with all your favourite activities straight afterwards and go back to work the same day.

Who Can Benefit from SWIFT Verruca Treatment?

Anyone who has stubborn warts and verrucae can benefit from swift treatment. Treatment can be done on both hands and feet if needed. 

However most people can have this treatment, the podiatrist will carry out assessments prior to treatment and advise accordingly. You must have a consultation prior to treatment so the podiatrist can go through everything first. 

What Does The Verruca Look Like After Treatment?

Immediately after treatment, there is no real change, it will start to show in the next few weeks, usually. Swift works by prompting an immune response. 

Does SWIFT Therapy Treatment Hurt?

There is some discomfort while you are having the treatment however this lasts one or two seconds. Most patients report mild discomfort that should be bearable, especially when compared with living with verrucae.
