Warts

What is a SWIFT treatment?

Swift is a groundbreaking new technology for the treatment of warts. Developed in the UK and now approved for use in Australia, Swift Therapy uses microwave energy delivered through a handheld probe to the area that needs treatment. This method rapidly raises the temperature of the tissue to 42-45 degrees in a matter of seconds which causes an immune reaction that destroys the infected tissue.

Why do I need a SWIFT treatment?

Faster and fewer treatments with a higher success rate… Why not?

More traditional ways of wart treatment can be ineffective with relatively low rates of clearance with the patient having to return multiple times for follow-up treatments until the infected area has been treated.

Swift microwave treatments on the other hand allow for a highly effective wart treatment. This new technology allows for much shorter treatment session times with up to 83% clearance rates of warts with the added benefit of fewer treatment sessions for a patient.

What can I expect from the SWIFT treatment?

The treatment consists of applying the swift probe to the infected area and applying microwave energy to the infected area. This happens in 2-second intervals repeated 5 times. There may be slight discomfort at the end of the 2-second application, but the patient can expect no lingering sensations after the treatment and be able to walk out with no dressing on the infected area. The follow-up appointment happens a month later with 3-4 treatments being the average course.
