The Basics of Swift Laser Therapy

Plantar warts, which are small, hard warts typically found on the feet, can be especially difficult to treat. Unfortunately, conventional methods for treating warts, such as using salicylic acid or cryotherapy, often prove ineffective at treating these warts. In time, many warts will heal on their own, but it could take months for that to occur, and often, new warts will crop up as the condition spreads.

Fortunately, advanced wart treatment methods, including Swift Laser Therapy, may prove effective at treating warts. Quick and effective treatment can stop the warts from spreading as well. Early results show that Swift laser treatment is effective in more than 80 percent of cases.

So how does Swift laser therapy work and why is it so effective? This treatment leverages microwaves that can be trained specifically onto a wart. The microwaves will penetrate beneath the skin, targeting the roots and foundation of the wart, which can lead to lasting relief. Medical professionals can precisely control how deep the microwaves penetrate. This mitigates the risk of damage to other cells and tissues.

Infected cells targeted by the microwaves will lead to the release of various proteins. These proteins will trigger an immune response, essentially making it easier for your immune system to home in on the warts. Warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), which the body is often capable of fighting off. However, the immune system will benefit from some assistance.
