Comparisons between microwave therapy and other treatments - 
Traditionally verrucae treatment can be a long drawn out process.
Over the counter preparations that people can purchase from shops/pharmacies contain a weak amount of acid. These various preparations require the person to apply to their verrucae on a daily basis and it may take months to see any improvement if any.

Podiatrists are licensed to use stronger acid pastes but these are required to be in contact with the verrucae for at least 5 days. Padding and strapping is used to keep the paste in place i.e. not on the healthy surrounding tissue,  also the foot needs to be kept completely dry. 

Cryotherapy or freezing whilst not requiring the foot to be kept dry or having any padding tends to be a more painful treatment which is quite sore for a few days afterwards. 
The Swift microwave treatment is completed in just a few secs on each verrucae using the hand held applicator. The thermal reaction causes heat stress protein production stimulating a strong immune response leading to the shrinking and eventual disappearance of the verrucae. This treatment is measured in its application by the equipment so it cannot do any harm. It is generally not painful afterwards and the foot is not required to be kept dry.
