Toetal Footcare • 21 May 2023

Often difficult to get rid of, verrucae are a viral skin infection caused by the human papilloma virus which ​relies on your immune system to recognise, react and destroy it. Many veurruca will resolve naturally however, if your immune system does not respond to the virus you can be left with a persistent painful verrucae.

​Hard skin frequently builds up over the area causing it not only to be unsightly but if over a pressure area can cause considerable pain if left untreated.

Our microwave therapy is a relatively new treatment with over 85% success rate.

Even very stubborn verruca will respond to treatment within a 6 month treatment plan.

You may experience some discomfort for 2-5 seconds during treatment however, it is rarely painful  after treatment is complete.


Swift microwave therapy for Verrucae consists of three appointments / clinical applications which are four weeks apart.

There is then an interval 12 weeks before the clinician is required to see you again and it is during this period of time that the majority of verrucae will resolve. On a rare occasion the Verrucae may require a further one or two treatments. There is an 85 per cent proven success rate of curing verrucae with Swift System.
