Don’t Let Plantar Warts Stand in Your Way! 

Do you struggle with painful, persistent plantar warts?

Why Swift Therapy?

Unlike traditional treatments like freezing or acid applications, Swift Therapy uses microwave energy to reach beyond the wart’s surface and target the virus directly. This innovative treatment has been shown to: 

  • Activate the Body’s Immune Response: Swift Therapy works by stimulating your immune system to recognize and attack the virus, addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms. 
  • Provide Quick, Convenient Treatments: Most patients require only 3-4 sessions, each lasting just a few minutes, to see lasting results. 
  • Offer a Simple, Long-Term Solution: Designed to be quick and minimally invasive, Swift Therapy has little to no downtime after treatments, so you can get back to what you love. 
  • Cost Effective Out of Pocket Pricing:  Swift Therapy is considered elective by insurance carriers – we offer two options for treatment:  Single sessions for $350 or 3 Sessions for $900 (a savings of $150 and we include that 4th session if needed!) 

What is Swift Therapy Like?

A full course of Swift therapy is typically administered over 3-4 sessions spaced out over weeks or months.

During each session, we will lightly debride the warts so we can make better contact with the area. This will not hurt or cause any damage to the skin.

After that, we will deliver doses of microwave energy to the warts using the Swift device. These doses last 2-3 seconds and may cause a small pinching sensation, like a needle. However, any discomfort disappears very quickly once the dosage stops. You won’t have to hobble around the rest of the day on painful feet!

Many patients see their warts gradually grow thinner or smaller within the first few days of a treatment session, with results increasing over the course of treatment as their immune systems focus more on eradicating the virus.

There may be some cases in which Swift is ineffective or not recommended for a patient. If that is the case, we will fully discuss other potential wart removal options with you (such as laser therapy) and why we believe our recommendations would best suit your needs. We will also answer any and all questions you may have before you decide how you would like to move forward with treatment.
