Painless Wart Treatment in Calgary

Tired of painful wart treatments with painful, debilitating downtime or recovery?

Try our Swift revolutionizing wart treatment with cutting-edge microwave technology. Our innovative approach ensures a swift and painless experience in wart treatment including Plantar warts and Molluscum warts.

Traditional wart treatments include:

❌ C02 lasers: Extremely painful, offers significant downtime, significant cost to the healthcare system and requires aftercare. At least 2-3 treatments are usually required.
❌ Painful Liquid Nitrogen treatments, less cost to the healthcare system, with significant downtime and aftercare. At least 2-3 treatments are usually required.
Salicylic acid application with duct tape treatment: This is messy, requires daily application, shave down of the wart(s), and application of duct tape to starve the wart virus of oxygen. This requires commitment and may take 2-3 weeks to see complete resolution of the wart.

NEW SOLUTION: Swift Wart

How it Works

The Swift advanced microwave technology targets warts with precision, effectively eliminating them without any preparation and minimal discomfort. The treatment produces a temporary (1-2 second) hot feeling the size of a pencil eraser over the wart. This feeling quickly disperses and does not linger.

Unlike conventional treatments that may require numbing creams or painful procedures, SwiftWart offers tolerable wart treatments without the need for anesthetic.

Furthermore, with Swift there is no need to treat the entire wart surface area since the treatment produces a global healing response to the area.

What does this mean for you? Less treatment time and less discomfort.

No Tears, No Downtime, No Aftercare: 

Sound too good to be true? It isn’t.

With SwiftWart, there’s no need to fear the treatment process. Our gentle effective technology and approach ensures a tear-free experience, making it suitable for patients of all ages. Whether you’re a busy professional or a parent on the go, our quick and efficient sessions allow you to resume your daily activities immediately afterward, without any downtime.

Treatment Plan

Typically, 2-3 treatments spaced four weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Our experienced team will tailor a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs and ensure long-lasting effectiveness. Each treatment is no more than 15 minutes in duration.
