What is Swift wart therapy?
A modern way to treat plantar warts that works with your immune system, rather than burning or freezing the wart away.
Plantar warts are warts on the sole of the foot, caused by a virus. Because they sit under your body weight, they can be painful, and they often hide from the immune system — which is why some warts hang around for months or years despite freezing, acids and creams.
Swift delivers a short, precise burst of microwave energy through a small probe placed on the wart. The gentle heat helps your immune system recognise the wart virus, so your body can get to work clearing it. There is no cutting, no acid and no dressing to look after, and you can walk out straight afterwards.
Who is Swift for? Swift is a good option for plantar warts that have been slow to clear, warts that have come back, and people who would rather avoid repeated freezing or acid treatments. It is also suitable for children.
Not sure it’s a wart? Corns and calluses can look similar. Your podiatrist will confirm the diagnosis before recommending Swift.

Swift Wart Therapy FAQs
Your first visit — an initial assessment plus your first Swift treatment — is $325. Follow-up Swift treatments are $250 per session. Your podiatrist will confirm how many sessions they recommend before you start.
It depends on the wart. Most people need a course of three treatments about four weeks apart, followed by a review 12 weeks after the last one. Stubborn or clustered warts can need more. Your podiatrist will advise after assessing you.
Your podiatrist prepares the area and applies a small probe, which heats the wart to about 42–45°C (a few degrees warmer than a hot bath) for a short burst. You can walk out straight afterwards.
For a few seconds it can feel like a sharp injection or briefly touching something hot. Occasionally the area is a little sore afterwards, but it doesn’t stop normal activities.
Yes. Microwave energy has been used clinically for more than 30 years, and Swift delivers a very low dose to a small, precise area. It is TGA approved and doesn’t cause serious tissue damage or scarring.
No. There’s no downtime and no dressings — you can get straight back to your day, and you can keep playing sport.
Yes. It is non-invasive and works with the body’s own immune system, and children tend to clear warts faster and in fewer visits than adults.
Results vary from person to person, and your podiatrist will talk you through realistic expectations at your appointment. Even when a wart doesn’t fully clear, treatment often leaves it smaller, shallower and less painful.
It may. Swift works differently: rather than destroying the wart from the outside, it helps your immune system recognise the wart virus so your body can clear it.
