If you’ve been dealing with a stubborn plantar wart, chances are you’ve tried something to get rid of it—freezing, over-the-counter creams, maybe even having it cut out.

But there’s a new option many people haven’t heard of yet: Swift microwave therapy.
It’s fast, clean, and designed to help your body fight off the virus from the inside out.

So what makes Swift different from traditional wart treatments? Let’s break it down.

What Is Swift Therapy?

Swift is a cutting-edge technology that uses low-dose microwave energy to target the root cause of plantar warts—the virus deep in your skin.

Instead of removing the wart directly, Swift triggers a natural immune response, helping your body recognize and clear the virus over time.
Treatments are quick—usually just a few minutes—with no need for numbing, bandages, or downtime.

How It Compares: Swift vs. Traditional Wart Treatments

Let’s look at how Swift stacks up against the more common options:

1. Freezing (Cryotherapy)

• How it works: Uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart tissue.

• Pain level: Can be painful during and after treatment.

• Downtime: May blister or scab; healing can take days.

• Success rate: Often requires multiple sessions; regrowth is common.

Swift wins for comfort and fewer side effects.

2. Salicylic Acid (Topical Treatment)

• How it works: Gradually peels away the wart with repeated application.

• Pain level: Usually mild, but can irritate healthy skin.

• Time commitment: Daily application for weeks or months.

• Success rate: May work on small, early-stage warts.

Swift wins for speed and convenience—no daily maintenance.

3. Surgical Removal

• How it works: Wart is cut or burned out.

• Pain level: Requires numbing; recovery can be uncomfortable.

• Downtime: Healing time varies; risk of scarring.

• Success rate: Effective short term, but warts often return.

Swift wins for avoiding cuts, wounds, and long recovery.
