Got Plantar Warts? SWIFT Is Your Best Bet!

You’ve tried everything: drugstore acids, painful freezing treatments, blistering agents…but those painful plantar warts just keep coming back. If you’re tired of the seemingly endless cycle, you should consider SWIFT Microwave Therapy!

This modern treatment often succeeds where other methods fail, and below, Batavia Foot Care Center explains why!

Why Do Plantar Warts Keep Coming Back?

Plantar warts are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which hides deep within your skin cells. Many treatments only attack the surface wart tissue, leaving the underlying virus untouched and causing frustrating recurrence.

Tired of Slow, Messy Acids?

Salicylic Acid requires daily application for weeks or months. It can irritate healthy skin, be messy, and often only removes surface layers, allowing the wart (and the virus) to return.

• SWIFT offers quick, clean, in-office sessions (just seconds per wart!). It works below the surface to address the root cause.

Dreading the Freeze (Cryotherapy)?

Cryotherapy involves applying liquid nitrogen, which can be quite painful during and after treatment.

• Blistering is a common side effect, requiring aftercare and sometimes limiting activity. Multiple painful sessions are often needed.

SWIFT involves a brief sensation (like a quick injection) that lasts only seconds.

• There’s no blistering, no bandages, and no downtime. Most patients feel minimal discomfort afterward.

Avoiding Blister Agents (Cantharidin)?

Cantharidin is a topical agent. It works by creating a blister under the wart.

• While sometimes effective, the blistering itself can be uncomfortable, requires aftercare, and may necessitate multiple applications.

SWIFT induces a natural immune response without causing significant blistering or requiring special post-treatment care.

Want to Skip Surgery?

Surgical Excision involves cutting the wart out, requiring local anesthesia, stitches, and a recovery period with potential scarring and activity restrictions. It also doesn’t guarantee the removal of all viral particles, which might lead to frustrating recurrence.

SWIFT is completely non-invasive!

• There’s no cutting, no stitches, no scarring, and zero downtime. You walk out and resume your normal day immediately.

Activating Your Immune System

SWIFT doesn’t just burn or freeze the wart tissue! It delivers precise, controlled microwave energy that gently heats the infected cells.

This thermal reaction attracts proteins and signals your body’s natural immune system to finally “see” and target the hidden HPV virus, clearing the infection from within.
