Swift Microwave Therapy
The latest verrucae treatment, Swift, provides a precise, highly effective, fast and easy way of treating verrucas. It is less painful than traditional methods and has excellent outcomes even for stubborn lesions.
Microwave energy can be used very accurately to increase tissue temperature to a point that causes precise, localised cell destruction, killing the virus and stimulating an immune response and combating the virus.
Verruca Needling Treatment
Struggling with a stubborn verruca that just won't go away? Verruca needling and Swift Microwave therapy are effective treatment options designed to resolve verrucaes as quickly and effectively as possible. Particularly verruca that have failed to respond to traditional treatments. Performed under local anaesthetic, the procedure involves creating a controlled immune response by needling the verruca tissue, encouraging your body's natural defences to recognise and fight the virus responsible for the verruca.
Many patients choose verruca needling when over-the-counter treatments, acids, or cryotherapy have failed to resolve their verrucae. The treatment is typically carried out in a single appointment, with minimal disruption to your daily activities and a high success rate for persistent verruca.
