Finally Get Rid of That Stubborn Verruca
If you’ve been living with a painful or persistent verruca, you’ll know just how frustrating they can be.
Perhaps you’ve tried over-the-counter treatments, acids, freezing or even multiple appointments elsewhere without success. Many of our patients arrive feeling they’ve tried everything.
At Next Step Podiatry, we offer Swift® Microwave Therapy—an innovative, evidence-based treatment that works differently by stimulating your body’s own immune system to recognise and fight the virus that causes verrucae.
No acids. No dressings. No surgery.
Just advanced technology designed to help your body do what it was meant to do.
Swift® Verruca Treatment
Why Choose Swift® Microwave Therapy?
Unlike traditional verruca treatments that aim to destroy the skin, Swift® works by delivering precise microwave energy into the affected tissue.
This controlled energy stimulates your immune system, encouraging it to recognise and attack the HPV virus responsible for the verruca.
Because Swift® treats the underlying viral infection rather than simply removing skin, it offers a modern approach for stubborn verrucae that have failed to respond to conventional treatments.
Benefits of Swift®
✔ No acids or chemicals
✔ No needles or anaesthetic
✔ No surgery
✔ No dressings required
✔ Continue normal activities immediately
✔ Quick appointments
✔ Suitable for adults and children
Why Choose Next Step Podiatry?
Choosing the right clinic is just as important as choosing the right treatment.
At Next Step Podiatry, every patient receives a full assessment before treatment begins to ensure Swift® is the most appropriate option for their verruca.
We believe in providing honest advice, realistic expectations and personalised care throughout your treatment journey.
Our experienced clinicians have helped many patients who thought they would never get rid of their verrucae.
If we don’t believe Swift® is the best option for you, we’ll explain why and recommend an alternative treatment.
Is Swift® Right for Me?
Swift® may be suitable if:
✔ Your verruca has been present for several months or years.
✔ Previous treatments have failed.
✔ Your verruca is painful when walking.
✔ You have multiple verrucae.
✔ You want to avoid surgery.
✔ You’re looking for an evidence-based treatment.
Not every verruca requires Swift®, which is why every patient is assessed before treatment begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Your appointment begins with a detailed assessment of your verruca and medical history.
If Swift® is appropriate, treatment is carried out during the same appointment.
The treatment itself takes only a few seconds per application.
Most patients describe the sensation as a short burst of heat that settles quickly afterwards.

-
Every verruca is different.
Most patients require a course of three treatments, spaced approximately four weeks apart.
Some stubborn verrucae may require additional sessions depending on:
• The size of the verruca
• How long it has been present
• Previous treatments

Yes. Swift® is suitable for many children and teenagers, although suitability will always be assessed individually.
-
No treatment can guarantee success. Swift® has shown excellent results for many patients with stubborn verrucae, but outcomes vary depending on factors such as the age of the verruca, previous treatments and your individual immune response.
Why have my previous treatments failed?
Many traditional treatments focus on destroying the skin over the verruca. Swift® works differently by stimulating your body’s immune response to target the virus itself.
Will my verruca come back?
Once your immune system has successfully cleared the virus, recurrence is less likely. However, as with any viral infection, new verrucae can develop following future exposure.
-

Swift® is available as individual treatments or as part of a treatment plan.
