Swift Therapy for Warts in Des Moines | Foot & Ankle Institute of Iowa
Treatment now available
Are you tired of dealing with pesky warts? We at Foot & Ankle Insitute-Iowa are very excited to announce that we have a brand new and effective treatment for surface based skin lesions, primarily warts.
Plantar Warts: A Common and Stubborn Viral Infection
“Plantar” means “of the sole” in Latin. Unlike other types of warts, plantar warts are typically quite painful, as the pressure from walking and standing forces them to grow into your skin. Like all warts, plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus, or HPV, specifically types 1, 2, 4, 60, and 63. Underneath the skin, the wart can have finger-like roots that reach down and grow, making plantar warts very difficult to treat effectively from the surface.
What is Swift?
Swift is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared technology that has proven to be highly effective in the removal of plantar warts. It delivers low-dose microwave energy through a specialized probe that targets and treats the underlying HPV virus by stimulating the body’s natural immune response. We like to say that we’re addressing the root cause, not just the symptom.
