Stubborn Verrucas – What They Are and How Swift Microwave Therapy Can Help
Verrucas are also known as plantar warts,
Verrucas are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often appear as rough, hard lumps on the soles of the feet and can sometimes have tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels) in the centre. Verrucas can be painful, especially when standing or walking, and they are notorious for being stubborn – often resisting over-the-counter treatments.
Why Are Verrucas Stubborn?
The virus hides in the skin and is very good at evading the body’s natural immune response. That’s why some verrucas disappear quickly, while others linger for years and can spread or become painful. Traditional treatments such as acids, freezing, or home remedies don’t always reach the root cause
What Is Swift Microwave Therapy?
Swift is an advanced treatment that uses microwave energy to target the verruca at its core. The microwaves heat and disrupt the infected tissue, which helps trigger your body’s immune system to recognise and fight the virus.
Unlike some older treatments, Swift is:
Quick – treatment usually takes just seconds per verruca.
Clean – no need for dressings, acids, or messy aftercare.
Effective – designed to stimulate your own immune response for long-term results.
Swift microwave therapy is suitable for most people, including adults and older children. It can be used to treat: Warts on the hands and Verrucas on the feet
