Swift patient information

Warts and Verrucas are a pain. Literally.

They are difficult to treat, persistent, and unsightly. Some can persevere for years, growing deeper and impacting more and more on daily activities. Around 10% of the population have a verruca. Most people have tried some form of treatment… but it hasn’t worked.

The good news? Swift is a scientifically proven solution that attacks the verruca virus at its heart.

What to expect

Danielle Knox, Podiatrist at Stirling Podiatry, talks about what patients can expect from a Swift treatment.


What is Swift?

Developed in the UK, Swift coagulates soft tissue for surface dermal conditions. The Swift® applicator is intended to be used with the Swift® generator. Swift® coagulates soft tissue for surface dermal conditions. The Swift® microwave tissue ablation system is for microwave treatments in the fields of Podiatry and Dermatology.

Swift® should only be used by clinicians trained by Emblation or their authorised representatives. Swift® should be used in a clinical setting including clinics or consultation offices.

Does it hurt?

It is not uncommon for patients to experience discomfort during the treatment. Unlike most treatments for plantar warts, pain felt during the Swift treatment usually subsides quickly.

What can I do after treatment?

As Swift treatment does not break the skin, there is no need for dressings or bandages. You can continue with your day as normal.

How many treatments will I need?

This is dependent on how you respond to treatment. The average number of treatments required is three or four.

Can anyone receive this treatment?

With a few exceptions, most people with skin lesions would be able to have this treatment. Your Swift clinician will carry out an assessment prior to treatment and be able to advise you on this.

Before undergoing treatment ensure your Podiatrist or Dermatologist is registered and has given you the full range of options available.
