Plantar warts are stubborn, painful growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). These warts often develop on the soles of the feet, making walking and standing uncomfortable. Traditional treatments like freezing, acids, or surgical removal can be painful and ineffective, with warts frequently returning. Fortunately, Dr. Wendy Le at Stepping Stone Foot & Ankle Specialists offers a breakthrough solution: SWIFT Microwave Therapy—a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to effectively eliminate plantar warts for good.
What Are Plantar Warts?
Plantar warts are caused by HPV, which enters the skin through tiny cuts or abrasions. Unlike common warts, plantar warts grow inward due to pressure from walking, often forming painful calluses over them. Key signs of plantar warts include:
- Small, rough growths on the soles of the feet
- Tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels) within the wart
- Pain or tenderness while walking or standing
- Thickened or callused skin over the wart
Why Are Plantar Warts Difficult to Treat?
Plantar warts can be resistant to treatment because the virus hides deep within the skin, making traditional treatments like freezing (cryotherapy), acids, or laser therapy less effective. Many of these methods require multiple treatments, cause discomfort, and have a high recurrence rate.
The SWIFT Microwave Therapy Advantage
SWIFT Microwave Therapy is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that uses controlled microwave energy to target the root cause of plantar warts—the HPV virus itself. This advanced technology stimulates the body’s immune response to naturally eliminate the wart without the need for cutting, chemicals, or prolonged downtime.
