Swift is a cutting-edge verruca treatment that uses precisely controlled microwave energy to treat verrucae at a cellular level. Developed in the UK, Swift is now used by leading podiatry clinics worldwide and has been shown in clinical studies to have an 83% success rate — significantly higher than freezing, acids, or over-the-counter remedies.
Unlike traditional treatments that destroy surface tissue, Swift works by triggering your body's own immune response. The microwave energy heats the infected cells, releasing proteins that alert your immune system to the HPV virus hiding in the skin. Once your immune system recognises the virus, it fights the infection systemically.
This is why Swift is particularly effective for stubborn verrucae that have resisted months or years of other treatments — and why it can even clear mosaic clusters and verrucae on the opposite foot.

Swift delivers a precise dose of microwave energy through a probe applied directly to the verruca for just 2-3 seconds.
The energy heats infected cells, releasing proteins that alert your immune system to the HPV virus hiding in the skin.
Your immune system mounts a targeted response against the virus — clearing the verruca and preventing recurrence.

Our leading treatment. Precise microwave energy triggers your immune system to fight the HPV virus. No anaesthetic, no dressings, no downtime. 83% success rate. Most effective for stubborn and mosaic verrucae.
Performed under local anaesthetic, needling punctures the verruca to expose the virus to your bloodstream, triggering a targeted immune response. Often resolves in a single treatment — even mosaic clusters.
