Which verruca treatment is best - Why Swift Microwave Therapy Wins the War on Verrucas
Verrucas can be a real pain, literally! Caused by a virus affecting the skin, they can be unsightly, uncomfortable and very stubborn to treat. Verrucas are mostly seen in children, and luckily their immune system usually gets rid of them without treatment within about 2 years. But in adults they can linger for 5 to 10 years, or even longer.
There are many treatment options available for verrucas, and your podiatrist will talk you through them so that you can decide which treatment option would be the best for your personal circumstances. But if you want the fastest, easiest and most effective option then look no further than Swift Microwave Therapy.
What is Swift Microwave Therapy?
Swift is a revolutionary new technology made in Britain and now used globally in the fight to vanquish verrucas!
Swift uses microwave energy to create heat in the area of skin affected. This causes something known as heat shock, and releases a protein which jumpstarts your body's natural defences and stimulates the localised immune system in the skin to start attacking the verruca.
Why is Swift the Champion?
Quick treatments - each Swift application takes seconds
Faster results - with an average of 4 treatments required, spaced 4 weeks apart
Fuss-free - no needles, chemicals or dressings required, and you do not need to do any treatment at home yourself between appointments
Precise targeting - the Swift application tip allows the treatment to target the affected skin tissues only, leaving surrounding skin unharmed
High success rates - research has shown Swift to be 75 to 80% effective after 4 treatments
Few contraindications - Swift is suitable for most people with a few exceptions - your podiatrist will thoroughly check your suitability at your assessment appointment, and will discuss your treatment options and likelihood of success subject to your medical history and personal circumstances.
