Warts affect both adults and children — in fact, up to 20% of school-aged children have experienced warts at least once. These benign growths are caused by contagious strains of a virus that can easily spread through direct contact or contaminated surfaces.
Although usually harmless, warts can be unsightly and painful. Swift Microwave Therapy, or Swift Immunotherapy, offers a painless and noninvasive solution for those seeking relief by addressing warts at their source.

What Are Warts?
Warts are small, benign growths on the skin caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on various body parts, including the hands, feet, face, and genitals.
Warts are small and non-cancerous. They often have a rough texture and can be skin-colored, brown, or gray. Common types include plantar warts on the feet, flat warts on the face and forehead, and common warts on the hands. Most warts are harmless; however, they can be embarrassing and uncomfortable or painful, especially when located in weight-bearing areas like the bottoms of the feet.
Symptoms of Warts
The symptoms of warts vary depending on the type of wart you have and its location — common signs of warts include:
Common Warts
These warts typically appear as small, grainy skin growths, often rough to the touch. They usually develop on the fingers, hands, knees, and elbows. Common warts are usually skin-colored and may have tiny black dots, which are small, clotted blood vessels.
Plantar Warts
Plantar warts, found on the soles of the feet, can be painful, especially when walking or standing. They appear as hard, thickened patches of skin on the bottoms of the feet — usually with tiny black dots near the center.
Flat Warts
These warts are smaller and smoother than other types. They often occur in large numbers, sometimes in clusters of 20 to 100. Flat warts are usually flesh-colored, pink, or slightly yellow and commonly appear on the face, neck, hands, wrists, and knees.
Filiform Warts
These warts have a distinctive appearance, characterized by long, narrow projections that extend outward. They often appear on the face, particularly around the mouth, eyes, and nose.
While warts are common, other skin conditions cause similar-looking changes in the skin. It is important to have a doctor check any changes to your skin.
What is Swift Microwave Therapy?
Swift Microwave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that eliminates warts at their core. This procedure involves directing low-dose microwaves into the affected tissue, rapidly heating the area to stimulate the body's immune response against the human papillomavirus (HPV) — the virus that causes warts.
What to Expect During Swift Wart Removal
Known for its quick and painless application, Swift treatment minimizes discomfort and downtime usually associated with wart removal. Here’s what to expect when you receive Swift wart removal treatment:
Specialized Device Application: A trained professional will use a specialized device to deliver low-dose microwave energy directly into the wart tissue. This energy penetrates the skin to reach the core of the wart.
Microwave Heating: Microwaves rapidly heat water molecules within the wart tissue. This controlled heating does not burn the skin but raises the temperature just enough to disrupt the wart cells.
Immune Response Stimulation: The heat generated by the microwaves stimulates an immune response in the body, helping it recognize and fight off the wart virus.
Infected Cell Breakdown: Cells infected with the wart virus break down, and over time, the body naturally eliminates these damaged cells.
Gradual Disappearance: As the immune system clears the virus and damaged tissue, the wart gradually shrinks and eventually disappears. The surrounding healthy tissue remains unaffected, promoting a smooth healing process.
Compared to other wart removal treatments, such as the use of chemicals or tissue-damaging freezing techniques, Swift Microwave Therapy offers an effective and minimally invasive approach to wart removal that leverages the body's natural immune response. Most significantly, with Swift Immunotherapy treatment, warts have a recurrence rate of less than 1%, substantially lower than other treatments like topical creams or freezing methods.
