Easy and Effective Wart Removal

The Swift Wart Therapy System is a cutting-edge technology for wart removal designed to safely and effectively remove plantar warts from the bottom of the feet. We are very pleased to offer this wart removal treatment at our Rancho Santa Margarita and Newport Beach area clinic.

Understanding Plantar Warts

Plantar warts are painful skin growths that typically form on the heels or other pressure points on the soles of the feet. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which infects the skin through small cuts or abrasions. These warts often grow inward due to pressure from standing or walking and can develop deep, root-like structures that make them difficult to treat from the surface.

The virus thrives in warm, moist environments and is commonly contracted during barefoot activities, such as in locker rooms, showers, or around swimming pools. How quickly a plantar wart goes away on its own can vary from person to person, but younger individuals tend to heal faster than older ones. In some cases, however, warts can persist and become painful, requiring medical treatment for effective removal.

How the Swift Wart Therapy System Works

The Swift Wart Therapy System uses low-dose microwave energy, delivered through a specialized probe, to treat the root cause of plantar warts. By stimulating a localized immune response just below the skin’s surface, Swift helps the body naturally recognize and eliminate the virus over time.

Unlike traditional wart removal methods like cryotherapy, acids, or excision that treat only surface symptoms, Swift targets the virus internally. The treatment is clean, non-invasive, and requires no cutting, bandages, or downtime. With minimal discomfort and high effectiveness, Swift offers a smarter, more advanced approach to plantar wart removal in Newport Beach.

Common Wart Removal Treatment Methods

Most podiatry departments have a “no treat” policy, partly because of the low cure rates obtained by the generally available wart removal treatments. 30% of warts resolve without treatment. This means any active treatment should demonstrate a significantly higher cure rate. 

Common treatment methods include using a scalpel to rapidly and painlessly remove the overlying hyperkeratosis. This is often sufficient to reduce pain and discomfort until the wart naturally resolves. Research has shown that wart removal with salicylic acid offers a 62% cure rate. This treatment is recommended for younger patients, but patients with diabetes and peripheral arterial disease will need careful assessment. Other wart removal methods include occlusion, cryotherapy, low-level laser therapy, and surgical techniques.

What to Expect During Treatment

Individuals receive 3-4 Swift wart removal treatments, spaced four weeks apart. Each treatment lasts 5-10 minutes and does not involve breaking the skin, administering anesthetic, or applying bandages.

Patients may feel some discomfort as the microwave energy waves rapidly increase tissue temperature during a two-second dose. However, the pain immediately subsides and there is very limited post procedural pain. Patients are able to resume daily activities immediately after treatment.

What are warts, and how do they develop?

Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can develop on any part of the body, including the hands, feet, face, and genital area, and are typically transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact.

Is it necessary to remove warts, or will they go away on their own?

In many cases, warts may resolve on their own without treatment, especially in children. However, wart removal may be recommended if the warts are painful, spreading, or causing cosmetic concerns. Additionally, certain types of warts, such as genital warts, may require treatment to prevent complications or transmission.

Is wart removal painful?

The level of discomfort during wart removal depends on the treatment method used and individual pain tolerance. Procedures like cryotherapy or surgical excision may cause some discomfort or mild pain, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Can warts come back after removal?

Warts may recur after removal, especially if the virus that caused them is still present in the body. To reduce the risk of recurrence, it's important to follow proper hygiene practices, avoid picking or scratching warts, and consider treatments that target the underlying virus, such as immunotherapy.

How long does it take for warts to heal after removal?

The healing time after wart removal varies depending on the treatment method used and the size and location of the wart. In general, it may take several weeks for the skin to fully heal, and multiple treatments may be necessary for complete removal.

When should I see a healthcare provider for wart removal?

You should consider seeing a healthcare provider for wart removal if you have large, painful, or persistent warts, warts on the face or genital area, or if over-the-counter treatments have been unsuccessful. Additionally, individuals with weakened immune systems or diabetes should seek medical advice for wart treatment.
