How Does Swift Compare To Other Traditional Treatments?
Traditional treatments, including cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen), acids (salicylic acid), and silver nitrate (caustic agent) work by relying on debridement of the wart. Since plantar warts can be several millimetres deep within the skin, it is often impossible to take all infected tissues out (due to pain and bleeding). As a result, the treatment course is usually very lengthy, requiring fortnightly treatments over a period of time.
From our experience, most plantar warts (especially older warts) will need at least 8-10 treatments if not more with traditional treatments. Verruca are challenging to treat by nature. It is often very difficult for us to say how many treatments someone may need with the traditional treatments.
In comparison, most warts resolve within 3 sessions (4 weeks apart) of Swift Microwave Therapy. Variations do exist depending on individuals. Overall, microwave treatment for wart offers a more superior approach to other wart removal treatments with a shorter treatment course and more predictable results.
