Swift® Microwave Therapy for Plantar Warts & Verrucae
Finally, A Better Way to Treat Stubborn Plantar Warts

If you’ve struggled with painful plantar warts that keep returning despite over-the-counter treatments, freezing, acids, or other procedures, Swift® Microwave Therapy may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.

At the office of Barry M. Tuvel, DPM, we are committed to offering the latest advancements in foot and ankle care. Swift® is an innovative treatment that uses precise microwave energy to stimulate your body’s natural immune response, helping eliminate the virus responsible for plantar warts without cutting, burning, or surgery.

Why Patients Choose Swift®

Unlike traditional wart treatments that focus on destroying skin tissue, Swift works differently. The treatment delivers controlled microwave energy below the skin’s surface to trigger an immune response against the HPV virus that causes plantar warts. This approach helps your body recognize and clear the infection naturally.

Benefits of Swift Microwave Therapy:

• No cutting or surgery
• No freezing or chemical acids
• No bandages or special aftercare
• No downtime from normal activities
• Short treatment appointments
• Clinically proven technology
• Helps reduce recurrence by addressing the viral cause
• Safe for both adults and children

What Are Plantar Warts?

Plantar warts are small growths that develop on the bottom of the feet. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and often appear on pressure-bearing areas such as the heel or ball of the foot.

While some plantar warts are only a cosmetic concern, others can become painful, making walking, standing, exercising, and daily activities uncomfortable. Unfortunately, many traditional treatments can require multiple visits, at-home care, and extended healing periods.

Swift offers a modern alternative designed with patient comfort and convenience in mind.

How Does Swift Treatment Work?

During treatment, a specialized handheld device delivers a brief burst of microwave energy directly to the wart.

The treatment lasts only a few seconds per application and works by creating a precise therapeutic response beneath the skin. Rather than destroying large amounts of tissue, Swift activates the body’s immune system to recognize and fight the wart-causing virus.

Most patients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, depending on the size, location, and duration of the wart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Swift treatment hurt?
Most patients experience a brief sensation of heat or discomfort during the few seconds the microwave energy is delivered. The sensation quickly disappears once the treatment is complete.

How many treatments will I need?
Treatment plans vary based on the size and severity of the wart. Many patients require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

Is there any downtime afterward?
No. Patients typically return to normal activities immediately following treatment. No bandages or special aftercare are usually necessary.

Will the wart come back?
Because Swift helps activate the body’s immune response against the HPV virus, recurrence rates may be lower than some traditional treatments. However, no treatment can guarantee that a wart will never return.

Is Swift safe for children?
Yes. Swift therapy is commonly used in both adults and children who suffer from painful plantar warts.

Does Swift involve surgery?
No. Swift is a non-surgical treatment that requires no cutting, stitches, or wound care.
