Fast-acting verruca remedy: Footprints Podiatry
What do you do when a cheeky little verruca on the foot laughs in the face of over-the-counter medication? Bring in the big guns.
Looking unsightly and potentially causing you pain, that obstinate and undesirable thing needs a Swift introduction.
Painless and quick-acting, Swift uses microwave technology to remove verrucae, and this innovation, available at Footprints Podiatry, can be successful in just one session.
“Developed in the UK, Swift is licensed for the general treatment of skin lesions, and we have found it particularly effective for removing verrucae, or plantar warts,” says Howard Nicholas, senior podiatrist and owner of Footprints Podiatry. “Microwave technology is safe; it was first developed for cancer treatment.”
The technology begins a process called Heat Shock, which occurs inside infected skin cells. “The verruca then releases certain proteins into the circulatory system, which the immune system recognises and begins to fight,” says Howard. What’s even better? You won’t need a dressing and can continue with your day.
The team offer a range of foot care and foot treatments. “We know feet and we know small niggles can have a disproportionate impact. We offer the latest treatments, and clients always wish they had come to us sooner.”
