What to Expect with SWIFT Wart Therapy

The SWIFT treatment process is quick, efficient, and designed with patient comfort in mind. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:

  • Initial Assessment
     We’ll evaluate the wart(s) and confirm if SWIFT is the most appropriate treatment option based on size, location, and previous treatment history.
  • Microwave Energy Delivery
     Using a handheld probe, we apply precise bursts of microwave energy directly to the wart tissueeach lasting just 2–3 seconds.
  • Immune Activation
     The microwaves stimulate your immune system to recognize and attack the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes warts.
  • Minimal Discomfort and No Downtime
     Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch or warm pulse, similar to a mild sting. You can resume normal activity immediately after the session.
  • Series of Treatments
     Most cases require 3–4 treatments spaced four weeks apart. Your provider will discuss a personalized treatment plan during your first visit.

SWIFT is a breakthrough because it doesn’t destroy tissue, it trains your body to do the work, offering a long-term solution rather than temporary relief.

Your Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know before booking your SWIFT Wart Treatment.

What is SWIFT and how does it work?

SWIFT is a medical device that uses microwave energy to treat the underlying virus (HPV) that causes warts. It works by heating the tissue quickly and safely, triggering an immune response that allows your body to clear the infection.

The treatment doesn’t break the skin and leaves no wound or scar. Because it targets the root cause rather than just the surface, results are often more lasting. It’s also a clean procedure with no dressings or special aftercare required.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients require a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced four weeks apart. However, some may need additional sessions depending on the size, depth, and number of warts. Your provider will monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Each session is quick, typically lasting only a few minutes. Spacing treatments allow your immune system time to respond between visits.

Does it hurt?

You may feel a short burst of heat or a pinching sensation lasting 2–3 seconds during each energy pulse. While discomfort is brief and tolerable, sensitive patients may experience mild soreness that resolves within hours.

There’s no lingering pain, and you can return to daily activities right away.We can adjust the settings for those who are more sensitive to ensure comfort. Some patients describe the sensation as similar to a quick static shock.

Is it safe for children?

Yes. SWIFT is ideal for children who may be afraid of needles or dislike painful freezing treatments. It’s fast, non-invasive, and does not damage the skin, making it a safe and effective solution for younger patients.

Its quick application makes it easier for children to tolerate compared to other methods. Parents often appreciate that it requires no post-treatment wound care.

Will my wart come back after treatment?

Because SWIFT stimulates your immune system to fight the virus itself, recurrence is less likely compared to treatments that only remove the surface lesion. Once the body has built immunity, future outbreaks may also be prevented.

That said, individual immune response varies, so follow-up may be needed in rare cases. Maintaining good foot and skin hygiene can further reduce recurrence risk.

Is the treatment covered by Alberta Health?

Currently, SWIFT Wart Therapy is not covered by Alberta Health and is considered a private-pay service. Our clinic team will provide a full breakdown of costs and options during your consultation.

Some private insurance plans may cover part of the cost check with your provider. We offer upfront pricing so there are no surprises.

Do I need a referral to book this treatment?

No referral is needed. You can contact Cure MD directly to book a wart consultation. Our team will determine if you are a candidate for SWIFT and walk you through the treatment plan.

We aim to schedule new patients quickly, often within the same week. Our providers will also explain any alternative treatments if SWIFT isn’t the best option for you.

Can SWIFT treat all types of warts?

SWIFT is most effective for common warts and plantar warts caused by HPV. It may not be suitable for warts in certain sensitive areas or for patients with specific skin conditions. Your provider will assess your case during the consultation.

We’ll recommend the most effective treatment option based on the wart’s type, size, and location. In some cases, a combination of SWIFT and other therapies can produce faster results.
