Microwave Verruca Treatment: The Modern Way to Beat Stubborn Verrucas

 Verrucas can be painful, unsightly, and notoriously difficult to get rid of. If you’ve tried over-the-counter remedies or freezing without success, there’s now a more effective solution — microwave therapy, available at Foot Corner in Ashford, Surrey.

What Is Microwave Verruca Treatment?

Microwave therapy, often known by its clinical name SWIFT, is a cutting-edge treatment that targets the root cause of the verruca — the human papillomavirus (HPV). Instead of treating just the surface, the microwave energy penetrates deep into the affected tissue, stimulating your body’s natural immune response to clear the infection.

Key Benefits of Microwave Verruca Treatment

✅ Highly Effective for Stubborn Verrucas
Microwave therapy is ideal for verrucas that haven’t responded to other methods. Many patients notice improvement after just a few sessions.

✅ Quick and Convenient
Each treatment typically takes just a few minutes — there’s no need for anaesthetic, dressings, or downtime. You can return to your daily activities straight away.

✅ No Need for Needles or Chemicals
Microwave therapy is a clean and modern approach that doesn’t rely on acids, freezing, or surgical removal.

✅ Targets the Root Cause
Unlike surface treatments that remove only the visible skin, microwave energy stimulates the immune system to recognise and destroy the virus — helping reduce recurrence.

✅ Suitable for Most People
Microwave verruca treatment can be used on both children and adults, including those with multiple or painful lesions.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

At Foot Corner, your podiatrist will first assess your foot to confirm the lesion is a verruca. During treatment, you may feel a brief, sharp sensation lasting a couple of seconds as the microwave energy is applied — but it’s generally well-tolerated.
Most patients require three to four sessions, spaced about four weeks apart.
