Swift wart removal
Plantar warts are one of the most common reasons patients walk through our doors at Aligna Podiatry. Based in Balwyn North, our team treats warts in patients of every age, from young children to adults, using modern methods that get you back on your feet with minimal disruption to daily life.
Swift therapy: our preferred approach
Our clinic uses Swift therapy as a first line treatment for stubborn plantar warts. This microwave based technology targets the wart directly and has minimal downtime, a low chance of blistering and little to no ongoing pain once treatment is finished. Because recovery is quite straightforward, many patients are able to return to sport or exercise the same day.
We understand that the idea of wart treatment seems daunting, particularly for younger patients. While Swift therapy may cause mild discomfort during the session itself, we offer a numbing device to reduce sensation in the treated area. This means the procedure can be carried out with reduced pain, making it a comfortable option for children and adults alike.
Traditional options are still available
Not every case calls for the same solution. Alongside Swift therapy, we also offer traditional treatment approaches such as salicylic acid application.
Our podiatrists will assess your wart, discuss your lifestyle and recommend the method most likely to succeed for you. Some patients respond better to a combination of approaches over a series of visits, so we tailor each plan accordingly.
Early treatment matters
Warts can spread, multiply or become more resistant to treatment the longer they are left untreated. Children in particular can pass warts between family members or spread them to other parts of their own feet or hands through contact.
Seeking treatment early will improve your chances of a quicker and more straightforward outcome, potentially reducing the number of sessions required and the discomfort involved along the way.
