Swift® Verruca Treatment

Advanced microwave therapy for persistent verrucae

Swift® verruca treatment in Limerick is an advanced verruca treatment option for persistent or painful plantar warts that have not responded to previous treatments. Verrucae, also known as plantar warts, are viral skin lesions that can become uncomfortable and slow to resolve, particularly when located on weight-bearing areas of the foot.

At Total Care Clinic Limerick, Swift® microwave therapy is offered as a structured treatment option designed to stimulate the body’s immune response to the virus responsible for the verruca.

What is Swift® microwave therapy?

Swift® is a non-invasive treatment that delivers a controlled burst of microwave energy directly into the verruca tissue. The energy gently heats the affected area beneath the skin, which may help trigger an immune response and assist the body in clearing the infection.

The treatment does not involve injections, freezing or topical acids. In most cases, dressings are not required, and patients can return to normal activity immediately after their appointment.

Who may benefit from Swift® verruca treatment?

Swift® therapy may be suitable for:

• Persistent or long-standing verrucae
• Painful verrucae affecting walking or sport
• Verrucae that have not improved with previous treatment
• Adults and children following clinical assessment

Not all verrucae are suitable for microwave therapy. A podiatry consultation at our Limerick clinic is required to determine whether Swift® is appropriate for your condition.

What to expect during treatment

Swift® treatment is delivered in short applications, each lasting a few seconds. Most people report a brief sensation of heat during application, which resolves quickly once the treatment ends.

Sessions are typically spaced approximately four weeks apart. The number of treatments required varies depending on the size, duration and response of the verruca.

Swift® works by stimulating the immune system rather than directly destroying tissue. As with all verruca treatments, results vary between individuals and no treatment can guarantee complete resolution.
