At Brook Valley Podiatry, Dr. Stuart Birnbaum offers Swift® wart treatment, an advanced technology designed to treat stubborn plantar warts quickly and effectively. Using precise microwave energy, Swift targets the virus causing the wart beneath the skin while stimulating the body’s natural immune response.
Swift treatment is a modern, non-invasive solution for patients struggling with painful or recurring plantar warts on the feet.


Swift is an FDA-cleared technology that uses low-dose microwave energy to treat plantar warts directly at the source. Unlike traditional wart treatments that freeze or burn the skin, Swift delivers controlled energy into the affected tissue without creating open wounds or requiring extensive recovery time.
Treatment sessions are performed right in the office and typically take only a few minutes.
Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and commonly develop on the bottom of the feet. These warts can become painful, especially when walking or standing, due to pressure on the affected area.
Common signs of plantar warts include:
Swift treatment is often recommended for stubborn or recurring plantar warts that have not responded well to other methods.
Swift does not involve cutting, surgery, or injections, making it a convenient option for many patients.
Unlike some traditional wart treatments, Swift usually does not leave blistering or significant skin damage.
The microwave energy helps stimulate the immune system to fight the HPV virus responsible for the wart.
Patients can typically return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Swift is commonly used for persistent plantar warts that have failed other treatments.

During your appointment, the Swift device delivers short bursts of microwave energy directly to the wart. Most patients describe the sensation as brief discomfort that lasts only a few seconds. Treatment sessions are fast, and multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the size and severity of the wart.
Dr. Birnbaum will evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan designed for the best possible results.
