Swift Microwave Therapy – Advanced Wart Treatment in Miami, FL
Plantar warts are one of the most stubborn foot conditions to treat. If over-the-counter products, freezing, or acid treatments have not worked, Swift Microwave Therapy offers a clinically proven, fast, and highly effective alternative — right here in our Miami office.
What Is Swift?
Swift is an FDA-cleared microwave therapy device developed specifically for wart treatment. It delivers a precise, controlled burst of microwave energy into the skin, triggering an immune response that targets and destroys the HPV virus responsible for warts.
Unlike traditional treatments that destroy the overlying skin, Swift works from the inside out — activating your body's own immune system to eliminate the wart at its source.
Why Patients Choose Swift:
- No cutting, no chemicals, no open wounds
- No bandaging or wound care required after treatment
- No restrictions — walk out and go about your day
- Works on stubborn, recurrent, or multiple warts
- Clinician-only technology — not available over the counter
- Effective for both adults and children
How Does Treatment Work?
Each Swift session takes only a few minutes. Dr. DeGirolamo applies the handheld device directly to the wart, delivering a short burst of microwave energy. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief, sharp pinch lasting only 2 seconds per application, followed by immediate relief.
Most patients require 3 sessions spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. Because Swift stimulates an immune response, results often continue to improve even after the final treatment.
What to Expect:
- Treatment time: 5–10 minutes per session
- Number of sessions: typically 3 (some cases resolve in fewer)
- No anesthesia required
- No downtime — normal activities resume immediately
- Mild soreness may occur for a few hours after treatment
Clinical Evidence:
Swift has an approximately 83% clearance rate in published post-marketing data across thousands of patients — significantly higher than cryotherapy (approximately 45%) or salicylic acid (approximately 13%). Individual results vary based on wart type, duration, and patient immune response.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is Swift covered by insurance?
Swift is a self-pay treatment. Call our office to learn more and schedule your evaluation.
Does it hurt?
Patients describe a brief, sharp sensation lasting about 2 seconds per point. There is no lingering pain and no wound to manage afterward.
How is Swift different from freezing (cryotherapy)?
Cryotherapy destroys the surface tissue but does not address the underlying virus. Swift triggers an immune response that targets the HPV virus directly, which is why it is more effective for stubborn or recurring warts.
My child has warts. Is Swift appropriate?
Yes. Swift is safe and effective for pediatric patients and is often better tolerated than traditional treatments.
Can diabetic patients receive Swift treatment?
Yes. Because Swift does not break the skin or create an open wound, it is a safe option for diabetic patients. Dr. DeGirolamo will perform a complete evaluation to confirm it is appropriate for you.
