Swift Microwave Therapy for Verrucae

Swift microwave therapy is the UK's leading treatment for stubborn verrucae (plantar warts). Developed by Emblation and backed by clinical research showing an 83% resolution rate, Swift uses precisely controlled microwave energy to trigger your body's immune response against the HPV virus causing verrucae.

Unlike traditional treatments that only destroy surface tissue, Swift works at a cellular level — heating infected cells to release proteins that alert your immune system to the virus. This is why Swift succeeds where pharmacy treatments, cryotherapy, and acids have failed. It's particularly effective for long-standing verrucae and mosaic clusters.

At Lower Limb Clinic Belfast, we're experienced Swift practitioners offering this advanced treatment at both our Lisburn Road and Ormeau Road clinics. We also offer verruca needling and Verrutop for cases where an alternative approach may be more suitable.

We offer multiple treatment options depending on the size, number, and location of your verrucae, as well as your medical history and previous treatment responses.

Swift Microwave Therapy: Our most effective treatment, Swift delivers precise microwave energy to the verruca, triggering an immune response. Treatment takes just seconds and requires no dressings or aftercare. Most patients need 3-4 sessions.

Needling: A minor procedure performed under local anaesthetic where the verruca tissue is punctured multiple times to trigger an immune response. Often resolves the infection in a single treatment.

Verrutop: A mild acid treatment that causes no pain, ideal for minor lesions or young children. Requires several weekly treatment sessions.
