Swift Wart Therapy .

Swift wart treatment works by stimulating the body’s immune system to respond to the virus and destroy it from within. The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is very clever at hiding in the outer layers of the skin, making it hard for the immune system to recognise infected cells, and the virus stimulates the skin to grow extra layers, further shielding itself from detection. HPV can also actively interfere with the immune system’s signalling pathways, so it is less likely to be identified and destroyed, and it only produces minimal proteins during its life cycle, few of which trigger an immune response.

When you visit us for Swift wart removal in Toowoomba, the process we use is very straightforward and utilises techniques aimed at reducing discomfort. We apply a handheld probe to the wart and deliver microwave energy directly to the wart. This energy is delivered to a predetermined depth leaving the surrounding, healthy tissue undamaged.

The microwave energy causes water molecules within the cells to collide, generating localised heat, and this “heat shock” activates the body’s immune response so it will recognise HPV and destroy it.

The procedure only takes a few seconds, and the sensation of the heat shock may be similar to a sharp, pin-prick feeling, or a sudden heat that quickly subsides. Once the treatment is finished you can continue your normal activities immediately. We schedule repeat sessions several weeks apart to allow the immune system to respond and the skin to regenerate.

While Swift wart therapy is a very safe and effective way to treat common warts and verrucas, it may not be suitable for everyone. Very young children may not tolerate the sharp, sudden but brief sensation during treatment, or be able to stay still during application so a gentler option, like a cream, may be preferred.

Swift therapy may not be suitable for pregnant women or those suffering certain medical conditions, but our podiatrists will be able to advise you whether or not you are suitable for treatment. People with pacemakers and other implanted, electronic devices are contraindicated to ensure there is no risk of a device malfunction.

The cost of Swift therapy is also a consideration, as it can be more expensive per session than over-the-counter treatments. However, the higher success rate makes this option more cost effective overall as fewer appointments and treatments are necessary.

Our professional podiatrists will be able to advise you on the most appropriate choice of treatment and recommend a treatment plan for your individual needs, when you visit us for Swift wart removal in Toowoomba.

Almost anyone will benefit, and our podiatrists will be able to advise you (not generally recommended for very young children, pregnant women and those with pacemakers).

A change should start to show after a few days. How many treatments you require depends on how well your immune system responds.

Usually the sensation is a brief pin-prick that lasts no more than a few seconds.

There is no broken skin, so you can do anything; swim, shower, run or jump!

Usually once the wart is gone, it’s gone for good. There is no guarantee you won’t catch another in the future though.
