SWIFT microwave technology provides a scientific approach to advanced wart treatment. That’s why it’s a preferred treatment option provided by Smyrna podiatrist Dr. Alvin Cowans. In this post, we explain how controlled microwave energy works in the fight against plantar warts, providing precision treatment that’s more targeted—and more effective—than traditional methods.
SWIFT Microwave Technology: How and Why it Works
Plantar warts are notoriously hard to treat because they form due to an HPV infection that hides far beneath the surface of your skin. So, even when you destroy surface-level wart tissue using traditional treatment methods, the virus still lingers in your body, resulting in a plantar wart recurrence.
Fortunately, SWIFT’s advanced wart treatment works differently, filling the gap that most treatment options can’t close. Using, highly-controlled microwave energy, SWIFT precisely targets deep wart tissue. As those waves enter your tissue, they create localized heat, causing water molecules surrounding the wart to collide and dissolve. In turn, the infecting HPV virus is effectively forced out of hiding. Now, your immune system can identify and fight this invader, beginning the process of eradicating warts. At the same time, the system will quickly heal any local tissue damaged by microwave energy, allowing for quick skin repair and regeneration.

Because SWIFT microwave technology offers a precise, advanced wart treatment option, the process causes less damage to the skin on your feet. Using targeted microwave energy, SWIFT only damages the wart cells, without impacting surrounding healthy tissue. As a result, the treatment is more comfortable than options such as cryotherapy. And it’s also more tolerable for many patients, who mostly report mild, temporary discomfort during the brief treatment process.
Now, because SWIFT works by stimulating your immune system, results are not immediate. Most patients will need three to four treatment sessions, spaced apart by several weeks, before their warts resolve completely. But by sticking to your prescribed treatment protocol, you should enjoy complete clearing while helping prevent future recurrences.
