Warts are common viral infections that appear on the skin as small, flesh-coloured growths that are rough to the touch. Depending on their location and lifespan, warts can become a constant source of pain, discomfort or embarrassment.
Because warts can exist undetected by the immune system, there is little chance of them healing on their own. With our exclusive swift laser therapy, we can effectively remove warts by stimulating cell repair.
Warts can seem frustratingly indestructible and will often require medical intervention. We offer swift therapy, an exclusive treatment that targets the affected area with a precise microwave laser to provoke the body’s natural healing process.
Other than being highly effective and trusted, the benefits of this treatment include:
• accurate and precise
• no additional treatment by patient necessary
• simple, quick and relatively painless
• safe for patient
Warts are caused by infection from the human papillomavirus (hpv). Hpv affects only the superficial layers of the skin to produce a thick callus-like growth. There are many strains of hpv but only a few are able to cause warts on the feet.
Warts on the sole of the feet are called plantar
warts or verrucae. They can often be painful and challenging to treat because
the skin on the sole of the foot is thicker than other parts of the body. Other
treatments too can be painful, if the wart is overlying a bony bump or weight
bearing part of the foot.
How did i get my wart?
Warts are spread via direct contact with the virus. Common sites of infection include communal areas such as change rooms, showers and swimming pools.
We recommend using thongs in such areas to create a physical barrier between your foot and the supporting surface.

What is swift?
Swift is a new breakthrough technology with strong evidence to show it is more effective than other current wart treatments. It has a success rate of 83%.
Swift works by delivering a highly controlled dose of microwave or heat energy, to a predetermined depth, that rapidly elevates tissue temperature. By heating the water molecules in the infected tissue, swift therapy initiates a targeted immune and healing response.
Warts and plantar warts can be difficult to treat because the body doesn’t know they are there. Other treatments involve burning, freezing or the use of acidic preparations to corrode the wart. Swift works differently by activating dendritic cells that signal to the body that the virus is present, and t-cells clear the infection.
Over time the wart tissue is repaired and replaced with healthy cells.

If you have warts, your doctor will probably start with a couple of standard treatments. They’ll give you medicine that makes your warts peel away. Or they may use a super-cold liquid to freeze them off. If these treatments don’t do the job, they might try laser surgery.
A laser is a precise, focused beam of light. Dvd and cd players use them to “read” discs. Some lasers send out light powerful enough to cut metal. On the skin, lasers can help get rid of fine lines, unwanted hair, wrinkles, freckles, and age spots.
Pulsed-dye laser
This is the main type of laser used to remove warts. The light heats up the blood in the tiny vessels inside the wart and destroys the vessels. Without blood, the wart dies and falls off. The laser’s heat may also attack the virus that causes the wart.
The laser may feel like a rubber band snapping against your skin. You won’t feel much pain after the procedure is done. You should heal fully in 2-4 weeks.
Laser treatment can be good for hard-to-reach spots, like genital warts in your urethra, the tube that carries pee from your bladder out of your body. Depending on how many warts you have and where they are, your doctor might give you medicine that numbs the area they’ll treat. Or they might put you to sleep.
How does laser treatment remove warts?
The genesisplus laser system is a long-pulsed nd:yag laser which emits a strong laser pulse and has a 5mm spot size (unlike many other lasers on the market). Blood vessels are a characteristic feature of warts and help to maintain growth of warts. It is believed that the laser pulse is absorbed by these blood vessels, causing destruction of blood vessels to the warts. This deprives nutrient supply to the wart, thus impeding further growth of virus-containing skin cells.
It is also thought that laser treatment may enhance the body’s own immune response to the wart-causing virus, further assisting the process of eradicating the wart virus. Click here for more information about the causes of plantar warts.
