Swift Microwave Therapy- The Swift Microwave Therapy offers a novel approach for the treatment of warts. Swift Microwave Wart Therapy uses microwaves that are more powerful than those emitted by cell phones but less than those omitted by microwave ovens. The microwaves are focused precisely so as to deliver a controlled dose and limit the depth of penetration. The microwave therapy quickly heats the tissue to induce heat shock proteins setting off inflammation that targets the human papilloma virus (HPV) that causes warts. Typically, 2-4 treatments are necessary to fully treat the warts. There is some pain during the treatment by there is no post procedure pain. The treatment was cleared by the FDA in 2018.
