Swift microwave therapy is a treatment for verrucas (plantar warts) that uses microwave energy to target and destroy the infected tissue. This method involves the following steps:
​1. **Energy Delivery**: A specialized device delivers low-dose microwave energy to the affected area.
2. **Heat Generation**: The microwaves penetrate the skin and generate heat within the tissue.
​
3. **Immune Response Activation**: The heat causes localized damage, which stimulates an immune response to fight the human papillomavirus (HPV) causing the verruca.
​
4. **Tissue Destruction**: The microwaves specifically target the water molecules in the infected cells, leading to their destruction without significant damage to the surrounding healthy tissue.
Verruca - Human Papiloma Virus (HPV)
Treatment - Microwave Energy
Healthy Skin - HPV free
