What is Swift Microwave Wart Treatment
Swift is a device that delivers controlled microwave energy directly into wart tissue in short bursts during an in-office visit, offering an alternative to freezing, cutting, or acid-based treatments. The energy is directed at the wart tissue itself rather than the surrounding healthy skin, which is why many patients tolerate the brief application well. Dr. Lazarus may recommend Swift as part of a plantar wart treatment plan when it fits the size, location, and history of the lesion, sometimes alongside Class IV laser or other plantar wart care. Plantar warts can be stubborn, especially when they sit in a weight-bearing area of the sole, so having more than one treatment option available matters.
