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 is Swift?

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.

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.
