Everything the old treatments aren't

  • Seconds per wart

    A short, precisely targeted burst of microwave energy, most sessions are done in minutes.

  • No dressings

    Nothing to keep dry, no dressing to change. Walk out and carry on with your day, straight away.

  • No anaesthetic

    No needles and no cutting for most patients, suitable for adults and children alike.

Precise microwave energy, without breaking the skin

SWIFT delivers a controlled dose of microwave energy through a small applicator, reaching the precise depth where the wart virus lives, without breaking the skin.

Most patients need 3 to 4 sessions, a month apart, with a review at 12 weeks. Pricing is set out in full below, so you know the cost before you start.

Three steps to clear, comfortable feet

  1. 1. Assess

    Your podiatrist confirms it's a wart, maps its size and depth, and checks SWIFT is right for you.

  2. 2. Treat

    A few seconds of microwave energy per wart wakes your immune system to the virus causing it.

  3. 3. Clear

    Most stubborn warts resolve in 3 to 4 sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart. Need more than four? We discount the sessions after that.
