VERRUCA TREATMENT WITH SWIFT

Verruca Treatment With Swift Therapy

Verruca or warts are skin lesions that mostly develop on the hand or plantar foot. (There are other types of verruca, however this is written with hand and foot warts in mind). Verrucae are the result of a virus called a human papilloma virus (HPV). 

Verruca can be painful or cause distress by being unsightly, and they can also be difficult to treat with standard treatments. Most over the counter products are not particularly effective in many cases.  

SWIFT VERRUCA TREATMENT 

SWIFT therapy for verruca use microwave technology to heat the tissue to just above normal temperature.  Swift is a UK researched and produced technology introduced and was first licensed for use in verrucae treatments in 2016.  

How does SWIFT Verruca Therapy work?

Verruca virus contain an element that reduces inflammation in the skin. For this reason the verruca can go undetected without the immune system being notified.

When the skin is heated (a few degrees above normal levels), proteins are denatured (break apart), inflammation is created, and a by product of this is heat shock proteins. The increased inflammation in the skin notifies the immune system that there is an infection (virus), and immune cell activation occurs.

Is SWIFT Therapy Safe?

Microwave treatment has been used safely over the last thirty years in cancer treatment. We are also surrounded by microwaves daily as mobile phones, blue tooth technology and kitchen appliances all use microwaves. 

The very low energy used in the SWIFT system is only enough to agitate the water molecules, and does not carry enough energy to alter DNA.
