Verruca Treatment with SWIFT Microwave Therapy
Advanced Verruca Treatment Without Surgery, Dressings Or Daily Home Treatments
If you've been living with a stubborn verruca for months or even years, you're not alone.
Many people try over-the-counter treatments, acids, freezing sprays and home remedies without achieving lasting results. Others simply learn to live with the discomfort or embarrassment, hoping it will eventually disappear.
At Callen Olive, we offer SWIFT Microwave Therapy — an advanced treatment designed to stimulate your body's own immune response against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) responsible for verrucae.
Unlike traditional treatments that focus on destroying the infected skin, SWIFT helps your body recognise and fight the virus itself.
Whether your verruca is affecting walking, sport, swimming or confidence, we'll create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

How Does SWIFT Work?
SWIFT delivers a precise dose of microwave energy directly into the verruca.
Rather than destroying the surrounding skin, the treatment stimulates your immune system to recognise and attack the HPV virus causing the infection.
This means treatment continues working between appointments as your body's immune response develops.
Conditions This Treatment May Help
SWIFT may be recommended for:
- Verrucae
- Mosaic verrucae
- Longstanding verrucae
- Painful verrucae
- Multiple verrucae
- Verrucae resistant to previous treatment
- Children's verrucae
- Verrucae affecting sporting activities
Following your assessment, we'll discuss whether SWIFT is the most appropriate treatment for your circumstances.
What Happens During Your Appointment?
Assessment
We'll examine your verruca, discuss previous treatments and explain the options available before recommending the most appropriate treatment plan.
Treatment
A handheld device delivers a short burst of microwave energy directly into the verruca.
The treatment itself takes only a few seconds.
Most patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable rather than painful, and it settles quickly afterwards.
Aftercare
One of the biggest advantages of SWIFT is that there are:
- No dressings
- No wounds
- No daily home treatments
- No restrictions on showering or swimming
- No downtime
You can return to normal activities immediately after your appointment.
Follow-up
Most patients require a course of treatment, with appointments usually spaced around four weeks apart.
Because SWIFT works by stimulating the immune system, improvement often continues between treatments and even after your final appointment.
