Swift Verruca Treatment in Cheltenham – Fast, Effective Relief at Supafoot
Struggling with a stubborn verruca? At Supafoot Cheltenham, we offer Swift microwave therapy — an advanced, non-invasive treatment clinically proven to target the root cause of verrucas and stimulate your body’s natural immune response.
This highly effective solution is ideal for persistent or painful verrucas that haven’t responded to traditional treatments.
What Is Swift Verruca Treatment?
Swift treatment is a cutting-edge therapy for verrucas (plantar warts) that uses microwave technology to stimulate the body’s immune system to fight the virus that causes them. Swift delivers low-dose microwave energy directly into the verruca, heating the tissue for just a few seconds. This triggers an immune response, helping your body recognise and attack the underlying HPV (human papillomavirus) infection.
Swift Microwave Therapy works from the inside out, tackling the root cause rather than just the surface.

FAQs
Does it hurt?
It is not uncommon for patients to feel a sharp sensation, similar to an injection. Unlike most treatments for verruca, pain felt during the treatment quickly subsides, and only in rare cases is there any prolonged pain.Â
Is SWIFT verruca treatment appropriate for me?
SWIFT is not allowed if you have a pace maker or are pregnant. If you have diabetes, you should consult your podiatrist to see if this is safe for you.
What is the treatment process?
During your first treatment, your Podiatrist may lightly reduce your lesion with a blade (debride), before applying 3-5 very short treatments with Swift. This will be repeated 4 weeks later and again, 4 weeks after that. Then your podiatrist will leave a 12 week break for the body to heal and cycle through the immune response. Clinical research suggests most verruca resolve after 3 treatments. Simple, effective and swift!
