At Pocklington Podiatry, we’re proud to offer SWIFT Microwave Therapy – a cutting-edge treatment designed to effectively target and treat stubborn Verrucae & Warts.
SWIFT uses a precise dose of microwave energy to safely heat and destroy the infected tissue, triggering your body’s own immune response to clear the virus naturally. Unlike traditional methods such as freezing or acids, SWIFT works from the inside out, with no need for dressings or downtime, allowing you to get back on your feet straight away.
Most patients describe the treatment as a brief, sharp sensation lasting just a couple of seconds per application. A course of treatments is usually recommended, tailored to your specific needs.
If you’ve struggled with persistent verrucae that haven’t responded to other treatments, SWIFT offers a modern, evidence-based solution with impressive success rates.


A typical treatment plan includes a series of 3–4 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to allow your immune system time to respond between visits.
The Microwave energy is delivered through a special probe applied to the skin to treat the affected tissue.
You may feel a quick, sharp sensation during each application – similar to a pinprick. Any discomfort stops immediately once the energy delivery ends.
Most people need between 3 and 4 sessions, depending on how long you’ve had the verruca and how your body responds.
No – you can walk out of your appointment and carry on with your day as normal.
Yes, SWIFT is an FDA- and CE-approved technology used safely in clinics across the UK. It works by stimulating your body’s natural immune response rather than damaging the skin surface.
Once your immune system clears the virus, it’s unlikely to return in the same spot. SWIFT helps your body build long-term resistance to the infection.
