Discover Swift® Microwave Therapy
A clinically proven, needle-free solution that addresses the hidden viral cause of stubborn foot lesions, activating your body's natural ability to heal from within.
Finally, A Real Solution for Your Stubborn Warts and Painful Corns
The Real Reason Your Foot Problem Isn’t Going Away
For years, you’ve been told that plantar warts and painful, deep-seated corns (Intractable Plantar Keratoses or IPKs) were two separate issues. Warts were from a virus, while IPKs were blamed on friction.
But if that were the whole story, why do they keep coming back?
Groundbreaking new research has confirmed what expert podiatrists have suspected: a powerful link exists between these two frustrating conditions. A landmark 2024 study found that up to 96% of IPKs contain HPV, the same virus that causes plantar warts.
This changes everything. It means that traditional treatments that only scrape the surface, freeze the top layer, or attempt to offload pressure are doomed to fail—they don’t address the underlying viral trigger that is the real source of the problem.
Swift®: Activating Your Immune System for True Healing
At San Mateo Podiatry Group, we don’t believe in temporary fixes. We believe in addressing the root cause. Swift® is a revolutionary leap in medical technology that does exactly that.
It is not destructive burning or freezing method. Instead, Swift® uses a highly controlled microwave energy that penetrates the skin to a precise depth without breaking the surface. This application is a targeted signal that awakens and activates your body’s own immune system to fight the infection.
• For Plantar Warts: The Swift® device “uncloaks” the hidden HPV virus, allowing your immune system to finally detect and build a defense against the infected cells. The result is not just the removal of the wart, but a genuine, lasting resolution created by your own body. High level research shows it is 83% effective with a 1% recurrence rate in treating and resolving warts in the foot.
- Swift® achieved FDA approval in 2018 after proven research in Europe.
- Research in over 13,000 patients shows that Swift® treatment is 85% effective in eliminating warts, with less than 1% recurrence.
• For Painful IPKs (Deep Corns): Swift® provides a powerful dual-action approach. It addresses the underlying viral component while delivering remarkable and lasting pain relief. A recent clinical study on Swift’s effectiveness for IPKs showed patients experienced an average pain reduction of over 90%, with the majority reporting zero pain after their treatment course.
