Advanced Verruca Treatment in Kettering & Market Harborough
Swift® verruca treatment is available at Next Step Podiatry in Kettering and Market Harborough for stubborn, persistent or painful verrucae.
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

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.

confirm whether the lesion is a verruca;
assess the size, location and number of lesions;
discuss your medical history;
explain the treatment options available;
recommend the most appropriate treatment for you.
The £70 assessment fee is separate from any verruca treatment costs.
If the lesion is not a verruca, you have still received a full podiatry assessment and diagnosis.

How many Swift treatments will I need?

Some patients may only require a small number of treatments, while more persistent or extensive verrucae may require a longer course.
Your podiatrist will discuss the recommended treatment plan following assessment.
Why choose a treatment course?
If a course of Swift has been recommended, choosing a package gives you a reduced price compared with paying for each treatment individually.
You can still choose to pay for a single session at £125 if you prefer.
What if Swift isn't right for me?
Swift isn't the only verruca treatment we offer.
Following assessment, your podiatrist may recommend alternatives including:
Verrutop
Falknor's Needling
monitoring/self-care where appropriate
Our aim is to recommend the treatment most suitable for your particular verruca, rather than automatically putting every patient onto the same treatment.

Every verruca is different.
Most patients require a course of Four 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
• Your body’s immune response
During your consultation we’ll explain what to expect and provide realistic guidance based on your individual circumstances.

Unlike traditional verruca treatments, there is:
✔ No cutting
✔ No dressings
✔ No daily treatment at home
✔ No interruption to swimming or sport
✔ No lengthy recovery
Many patients choose Swift® because it fits around busy lifestyles while targeting the underlying cause of the verruca.
-
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.
-
