Plantar Wart Therapy

Swift Plantar Wart Therapy- Say goodbye to stubborn warts. Say hello to SWIFT

Are you tired of dealing with pesky warts? We at Total Foot and Ankle Care of New York are very excited to announce that we have a brand new and effective treatment for surface based skin lesions, primarily warts.

 

Plantar Warts; A common and stubborn viral infection

Plantar warts can be a real pain—literally. The term "plantar" refers to the sole of the foot, and these warts can be particularly troublesome because they grow inward due to the pressure from standing and walking. Caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV)—specifically types 1, 2, 4, 60, and 63—plantar warts often develop deep, finger-like roots beneath the skin, making them incredibly difficult to treat with surface-only methods.

What is Swift?
 

So, what exactly is Swift? Swift Plantar Wart Therapy in New York is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared treatment that’s making waves in the podiatry world. It uses low-dose microwave energy, delivered through a specialized probe, to target the root cause of the wart— the HPV virus itself. By stimulating your body’s natural immune response, Swift helps to clear the wart from the inside out. In other words, we’re not just treating the symptoms; we’re addressing the root of the problem.

What to Expect
 

The Swift treatment protocol typically involves three to four sessions, spaced about four weeks apart to align with your body’s natural immune cycle. Each session is quick, lasting just 5 to 10 minutes, and it’s what we like to call a “sock off, sock on” treatment. There’s minimal debridement, no skin-breaking, and no need for bandages. Even better? There’s no home treatment required between visits, and you can jump right back into your daily routine immediately after each session.

How effective is Swift?
 

Thanks to Swift’s unique approach of harnessing your immune system to fight the HPV virus directly, it boasts a significantly higher success rate compared to other treatments. This means a better chance of saying goodbye to those warts for good.

Does it hurt?
 

Pain levels can vary from person to person, but most patients report feeling some discomfort as the infected tissue heats up during the brief, 2-second dose of microwave energy. The good news is that any discomfort quickly fades once the treatment is done, and many patients even notice an immediate reduction in wart-related pain. Plus, you’ll be able to carry on with your day-to-day activities right after your appointment.

When you should come to see us
 

If you suspect you have a plantar wart, it’s crucial to see a podiatrist sooner rather than later. The longer you wait, the more stubborn the wart can become. Here are a few telltale signs it’s time to seek treatment:

  • You feel like you’re stepping on “painful pebbles” inside your shoes.

  • There’s pain when you press the sides of the wart.

  • You notice a circular, flat spot on your foot with a sunken center.

  • The wart looks yellowish with a crusty surface and possibly tiny black dots.

  • The lesion is painful, bleeds, or has changed color.

  • Over-the-counter treatments haven’t worked, and the wart keeps coming back or spreading.

  • You’re experiencing discomfort that interferes with your regular activities.

  • You have reduced sensation in your feet.

  • You’re unsure whether the lesion is actually a wart.

Is Swift Wart Treatment Covered By Insurance?
 

The cost of Swift wart therapy varies depending on the clinic and location, but in Manhattan, the average price per session typically ranges from $150 to $250 per session.

 

When comparing costs, it’s important to consider the long-term value. Many patients spend hundreds of dollars on repeated cryotherapy, acid treatments, or laser removal—only for the warts to come back. Swift is designed to address the root cause, often leading to better results in fewer sessions.
