Swift Microwave Therapy for Skin Lesions
Shoal Creek Foot & Ankle Center offers Swift, an advanced microwave therapy that provides fast, precise treatment for plantar warts and other skin lesions. This non-invasive technology stimulates the body’s natural immune response to eliminate infection, offering an effective alternative for patients with lesions resistant to traditional treatments.
How Swift Works
Swift delivers controlled microwave energy directly into the affected tissue without breaking the skin. The microwaves generate localized heat, which triggers an immune response to target and clear the virus that causes plantar warts. Unlike cryotherapy, acids, or laser ablation, Swift does not destroy tissue at the surface, reducing the risk of scarring or infection.
Benefits of Swift Therapy
- Fast: Treatment sessions take only minutes, with no bandages or post-procedure care required.
- Safe: No open wounds, scarring, or use of chemicals.
- No Downtime: Patients may return to regular activities immediately following treatment.
- Effective: Swift has been used worldwide to successfully treat persistent plantar warts and verrucas.
What to Expect
Patients may experience a brief, sharp sensation during treatment, similar to an injection. Mild tenderness may follow but typically resolves within one to two days.
Most cases require multiple sessions spaced two to four weeks apart, depending on the individual response to therapy. The podiatrist determines the appropriate treatment plan for each patient.
Cost of Treatment
Swift therapy is a self-pay service and is not covered by insurance. Each treatment session costs $150, payable at the time of service.
Swift provides a fast, clean, and effective solution for the treatment of plantar warts and similar lesions, helping patients achieve long-term relief without the discomfort or downtime of older treatment methods.
