Wart treatment

Assessment and care for plantar warts, including SWIFT microwave therapy when it is a suitable option.
Wart treatment

What we look at

A thorough, practical assessment

  • Where the wart is, how long it has been there and whether it is painful
  • Previous treatments, including pharmacy products or freezing
  • Overlying hard skin and how much pressure the area takes when you walk
  • Whether SWIFT or another approach is the better fit for you

    How we can help

    A plan that fits your circumstances

    • Checking that the lesion is consistent with a plantar wart
    • Reducing overlying hard skin when that is needed before treatment
    • SWIFT microwave therapy, applied in short bursts, when it is appropriate
    • A review plan, because plantar warts often need more than one visit
