Are you currently dealing with uncomfortable, unsightly, or painful plantar warts that simply won’t go away? Have you tried several different treatment options but have been disappointed with the results every time? Then say hello to Swift therapy, a state-of-the-art treatment Sunshein Podiatry provides to people throughout the greater Dayton area. Continue reading to learn more about why Swift is an excellent choice for you.
How Does Swift Therapy Work?
Plantar warts—caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV)—can often be difficult to remove because of the way the virus invades the skin. Warts form only a few millimeters under the skin, which makes them difficult to treat effectively without damaging surrounding tissue.
However, Swift therapy emits a targeted microwave signal into the skin that works to eradicate verrucae, warts, and papillomas. The microwave signal is set to a specific depth that ensures only the wart is treated. Here's how Swift therapy works on plantar warts:
- Our skilled Centerville podiatrists can adjust the Swift process to focus on a defined depth and area. This generates thermal energy that heats the tissue and triggers a state of stress in the infected cells. The heat itself causes a release of signaling proteins that alert your body’s immune system to fight the underlying HPV.
- After your Swift therapy treatment, your body will be able to recognize and eliminate any infected skin cells. This allows new, healthy cells to regenerate, and your skin returns to its normal state.
This safe, innovative, and revolutionary therapy has FDA approval. Our team uses this advanced approach for single or multiple warts.
Is Swift Therapy Effective?
Yes! We're happy to report that this method boasts an impressive 83% success rate, surpassing that of any other plantar wart treatment. It's fast, clean, and safe, and in just one to three sessions, many of our patients see their warts disappear completely. Additional benefits include:
- No home aftercare
- No downtime
- No dressings
- No scarring or tissue damage
What Can You Expect from Swift Therapy Treatment?
During your initial consultation at Sunshein Podiatry, our Centerville foot doctors discuss a plantar wart treatment plan with you that offers the best results. With very few exceptions, most people can have Swift therapy treatment.
During a session, you won’t feel any pain, but the rapid heating of warts can cause a little bit of temporary discomfort. The temperature is only a few degrees warmer than a hot bath. However, our compassionate care team recognizes that people have varying tolerances to discomfort. While most of our patients won’t require pain relief during treatment, an option is available should you need it.
Depending on your response to the treatment, you may require 3-4 sessions, spaced approximately 4 weeks apart or less. We'll continue to monitor your progress. In the majority of cases, Swift therapy eliminates HPV, and there's little chance your plantar warts will return. This is why active people throughout Greater Dayton come to us when they're done settling for temporary fixes—we provide them with solutions that work. If you're ready for this kind of dedicated attention, we're ready to help!
