Say Goodbye To Stubborn Plantar Warts...

Say Hello To Swift Microwave Therapy.

Swift Microwave Therapy is the most convenient, effective treatment for stubborn verruca lesions and plantar warts.

Welcome to Wart Removal Tenafly, New Jersey

Swift® is the revolutionary new alternative to painful cryotherapy, topical acids and cautery/hyfrecation.

Bookings are now being taken for Swift® Microwave Therapy at Clover Podiatry in Tenafly, New Jersey.

This innovative UK-developed microwave therapy for the treatment of verruca or plantar warts and other skin lesions is a much-needed breakthrough for patients looking for fast and effective treatment.

Consistency – A repeatable treatment with predictable outcomes.

Cleanliness – No smoke, no anesthetics, no post-procedural dressing and minimal debridement.

Convenience – Potential for much shorter treatment times.

Confidence – Successful treatment protocol based on meticulously collected data backed by research.

Swift® provides patients with an easy, effective and precise way of treating viral plantar warts (verrucae).

The benefits of using Swift® Microwave Verruca Therapy

No anesthetic required – Patients report that mild discomfort caused by the treatment only lasts two seconds and dissipates instantly once the treatment is over. In some instances it is not uncommon for a patient to feel a hot sharp sensation similar to an injection or sting. Microwaves produce dielectric heating and cause rapid temperature elevation in the tissue. This temperature sensation will vary from patient to patient and the podiatrist will discuss the intensity before to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. Patients can return to normal daily activity after undergoing this pioneering therapy for verrucae.

Only minimal lesion reduction necessary – Only a light debridement of the verruca is necessary to ensure a clean surface contact with the Swift® applicator. With other traditional treatments, heavy debridement is often necessary, which can cause discomfort for the patient.

No dressings required – As microwaves do not break the surface of the skin, the requirement for post-procedural padding or dressings is not necessary. Occasionally a blister may form. Patients are advised to contact the clinic and or discuss with the podiatrists about managing the area to avoid infection and how to provide comfort to the area. A deflective pad and or a sterile dressing may be advised.

No contra indications – There is no radiation or harmful rays.

Multiple treatments possible – You can choose to treat single or multiple lesions at the same time.

How does it work?

Microwaves are a form of non-ionising radiation, which have the ability to agitate water molecules within skin cells without causing damage to DNA. Water (H2O) is a polar molecule that will attempt to align itself with the electric field of a microwave. The rapid cyclic waveform of a microwave causes H2O molecules to vibrate and collide and this results in friction and generation of thermal energy. Since skin cells have a high water content, the desired temperature is quickly achieved within target cells.

Microwaves sit between radio waves and infrared waves (300MHz-300GHz) in the electro-magnetic spectrum.

Swift® specifically operates at a frequency of 8GHz.

Swift® microwaves will penetrate to a pre-determined depth with no lateral splay of energy. They don’t break the surface of the skin and destroy tissue from the point of application like cryotherapy, salicylic acid or laser ablation. As soon as the treatment begins, microwaves start working within that defined field and no deeper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Swift® is a pioneering new technology that has been developed in the United Kingdom. It has been licensed for the general treatment of skin lesions which includes verrucae and warts in Dermatology and Podiatry. Microwave energy is delivered through the special Swift® probe that is applied to the skin to treat the affected tissue.

As with all treatments for skin lesions, some minor discomfort may be experienced. Your Podiatrist at footinjuryclinic may choose to lightly reduce any overlying callus from the verruca. Although pain levels will vary from person to person, most people undergoing Swift® therapy describe sudden warmth lasting 2-3 seconds which quickly subsides. There is minimal to no discomfort felt after treatment.

Swift® should not limit or prevent you from undertaking normal daily activity after treatment.

Every patient is different; your experience will be dependent on how you respond to treatment. You may need more than one Swift® treatment, which is usually 2-4 weeks after the initial consult, depending on the site and size of the verruca.
Your Podiatrist at footinjuryclinic will be able to discuss this with you. Usually, most patients respond well and, in resistant cases, a third treatment may be required.

Although there are a few exceptions, most adults/children with verrucae would be able to have this treatment. Your Podiatrist at footinjuryclinic will carry out an assessment prior to treatment and will be able to advise you on this.

Traditional Treatments

These need to be applied daily, sometimes twice a day, and have limited penetration. There is no control over how deep or how wide the penetration would be. Spillage to surrounding healthy tissue occurs even when steps on “masking” have been made. The lesion needs to be paired down regularly to enable further penetration. Patience and perseverance are needed since the treatment can take anywhere up to +/- 3 months.
