What Is Swift Therapy?

Swift is an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment that uses low-dose microwave energy to target the HPV virus responsible for plantar warts. Instead of attacking the wart directly, Swift triggers an immune response in the skin, helping your body naturally recognize and eliminate the virus. Each session lasts just a few minutes and requires no wound care or bandages.

  • Plantar warts (bottom of the foot)
  • Mosaic warts (clusters of warts)
  • Recurrent warts that haven’t responded to other treatments
  • Warts in weight-bearing or sensitive areas

You may feel a brief, sharp sensation (like a pinch or zap) that lasts only a couple of seconds. There’s no lingering pain, and no special care is needed afterward.

Most patients need 3–4 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Improvement is usually visible between visits, and full clearance often happens within a few months.

Swift is ideal for patients who have tried other wart treatments without success, or who want a cleaner, faster, and more comfortable solution. It’s safe for children, teens, and adults.

If you’ve noticed a rough spot, pain when walking, or growths on the bottom of your foot that aren’t going away—or are spreading—it’s time to schedule a professional evaluation. Early treatment prevents spread and discomfort.
