READ JOHN’S 5-STAR GOOGLE REVIEW
“I must admit that having had verrucas for around 18 months and nothing working to get rid of them (having tried every possible option, including visiting another podiatrist on several occasions), I wasn’t overly optimistic that any other treatment would work. Here I am some 3 months after the final treatment and there is no sign at all of a verruca on my foot. I would strongly recommend this treatment to anyone who has a verruca problem, and particularly Beth, who has been brilliant throughout the process.”

What patients say

“After many fruitless attempts at treating a persistent verruca I contacted Abby at Kin Body & Sole. She recommended a course of Swift treatments. The process was efficiently administered & after 5 treatments I am delighted that the verruca has gone. Any discomfort was minimal. I am happy to recommend this treatment & Abby too. At all times she was pleasant & professional.”
Janet Alderson
VERIFIED PATIENT
“I had a verruca for at least 10 years which I just couldn’t get rid of with over the counter formulas. I had 3 treatments of Swift and it has gone! I can’t believe it’s worked so well! Definitely would recommend!”
Jackie Fox
VERIFIED PATIENT
“Having tried all the over the counter products and other Chiropodists that made the verruca spread, I booked on for Swift. Abby was professional and very informative about the treatment. I had the course and after the final review they were gone. It’s a quick 10 second treatment spread over a few months. It’s uncomfortable but the results are worth the 10 second discomfort. Abby was great at talking me through it and how to manage between appointments. Wouldn’t go anywhere else and would highly recommend this treatment and the clinic. Thank you Abby.”

YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
What to expect from your assessment
This is where everything starts. This is a dedicated assessment appointment, not just a quick look at your verruca or wart. If you’ve been living with a stubborn verruca or wart for months, or even years, you deserve the time and attention to understand why previous treatments haven’t worked and which treatment option is most appropriate for you. Where clinically appropriate, treatment can often begin during the same appointment, so there’s no unnecessary delay in getting started.
- A detailed discussion about your medical history and previous treatments.
- A comprehensive assessment of your verruca or wart.
- A full podiatry assessment, including vascular and neurological screening.
- An honest discussion about the treatment options available, including whether Swift is the most appropriate choice for you.
- A personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
- Start treatment on the same day, where clinically appropriate.
- Plenty of time to ask questions and make an informed decision about your treatment.

ANSWER
Common Questions
What is Swift microwave therapy?
Swift is a modern verruca treatment that uses precise microwave energy to target the affected tissue and prompt the body’s own immune response. It’s delivered in short in-clinic sessions with no dressings or downtime.
Is Swift suitable for long-standing or stubborn verrucae?
It’s often chosen for exactly this situation, verrucae that haven’t responded to freezing, acids or home treatments. Whether it’s right for you is what your assessment is for.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients describe a brief hot sensation for a few seconds during each application. It’s usually well tolerated and there’s no anaesthetic required.
How many sessions might I need?
A typical course is around 3-4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, but this varies. Your clinician will give you a realistic view at the assessment.
Is there any downtime?
None. You walk out and carry on with your day – work, gym, running, school runs. That’s one of the reasons patients choose it.
Is Swift suitable for children?
It can be, depending on age, the child’s comfort and the specific verruca. We’ll take a gentle, unhurried approach at the assessment.
What happens at the first appointment?
A proper conversation about what you’ve already tried, a careful examination, an honest view on whether Swift is right for you, and a clear plan, with time for every question. Where clinically appropriate, treatment can often begin during the same appointment, so there’s no unnecessary delay in getting started.
What if I've already tried other verruca treatments?
You are exactly the sort of patient we set out to help. Most people who come to us have already tried freezing, salicylic acid, pharmacy kits, home remedies or treatment at another clinic. Having tried other treatments without success doesn’t mean nothing will work, it simply means it’s time for a proper specialist assessment to understand why.
What if Swift isn't suitable for me?
The assessment is a genuine clinical consultation, not a route to one fixed treatment. If Swift isn’t the most appropriate option for your verruca, your health or your circumstances, your podiatrist will say so and recommend the treatment that is right for you.
Every verruca is different and no treatment can guarantee success. We will always discuss realistic expectations and likely outcomes with you at your assessment.
