Painful, stubborn or spreading verrucae affecting your comfort and confidence?
Verruca & Plantar Warts
Verrucae (plantar warts) are viral skin lesions caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They commonly appear on the soles of the feet and can look like small rough patches of skin, often with tiny black dots.
They can affect both children and adults and may persist for months or even years without effective treatment.
Painful when walking or standing
Resistant to over-the-counter treatments
Spread to other areas of the foot or to other people
how we treat it
At Assure Health Clinic, verrucae and plantar warts are treated using Swift® Microwave Therapy a clinically proven, technology-led treatment designed to target verrucae safely and effectively.
Swift therapy works by delivering a precise burst of microwave energy into the verruca.
This stimulates a local immune response, helping your body recognise and clear the virus naturally.
Confirm the diagnosis
Check circulation, skin health and medical history
Assess size, depth and location
Ensure Swift is the right option for you
A course of treatments is usually required, depending on the size and how long the verruca has been present. This can be discussed with your podiatrist at your consultation. On average adults may require 3-5 session whilst younger patients may respond quicker.
