A wart on the foot
PEDICARE SOLVES
What are warts?
Warts appear at all ages, and are most common in childhood. It is a viral infection of the skin caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). More than 150 types have been identified, so an effective remedy is hard to find. There are several types of warts, and the type of virus dictates the size and shape of the wart.
In pedicure, we most often encounter warts on the foot , the so-called plantar wart (verucae plantares), which is aligned with the skin and grows inward. We will most likely encounter it on the most stressed part of the foot, which in many cases causes difficulty walking and pain.

How do we get rid of it as quickly and painlessly as possible?
There are many ways to get rid of them. One of the methods is also to ignore them and according to some data , more than 50% of them disappear on their own after two years . However, if the warts are painful and make it difficult to walk, we need to take action! To begin with, a less aggressive method is recommended – the use of local means . Acid preparations should be used under supervision, as it is a rather aggressive method that can also cause a wound. How quickly it can happen that inflammation occurs, the wound does not heal or. a scar forms on the spot. The latter can make walking difficult for up to several years.
The revolution of plantar warts
We are proud to present our brand new technology for removing even the most stubborn warts.
Quick treatment
The use of microwave energy allows a precise and highly controlled dose of energy to be delivered to the desired site within seconds, so the procedure can be performed in less than 15 minutes.
Clean treatments
Because the microwaves travel to a predetermined depth, they do not damage the surface of the skin or destroy the tissue at the site of application - as happens with cryotherapy, salicylic acid or laser ablation.
What is Swift?
Swift is a new, advanced technology that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has proven to be extremely effective in removing plantar warts.
With SWIFT technology, the HPV virus is treated with a low dose of microwave energy in order to stimulate the body’s natural immune response. In other words, we treat the cause, not the symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
- take care of increased hygiene as HPV infection is contagious. Moist skin allows the virus to spread quickly
- wash the treated area daily with lukewarm running water, using mild liquid soap if necessary. Use a dedicated towel only for this area and dry it well. You can also use a hair dryer if needed
- if your pedicurist has suggested that you use a particular product for better healing, apply it according to the instructions
- if the rehabilitated place hurts, relieve the area or wear very comfortable footwear
- Do not exfoliate excessively horny skin at the site of the wart, so as not to spread the infection to other areas or even develop a scar on the site.
- if the pedicurist has ordered you for a check-up or further rehabilitation, make sure that you also attend the appointment.
Rehabilitation of the area will probably need to be repeated several times, depending on the depth and stubbornness of each wart. Our experience shows that perseverance pays off.
It is important to see a specialist if you suspect or feel you have a wart. The longer you wait, the more likely the wart will persist. Look out for symptoms such as painful pebbles in your shoes, circular flat patches of skin with depressed areas in the middle, and discomfort that prevents you from doing normal activities.
The Swift protocol requires 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart to catch up with the body’s natural immune cycle. Each treatment takes only 5 to 10 minutes and is a so-called “take off – put on socks” treatment: with minimal tissue removal, no skin penetration and no bandages. No home treatment is required between treatments, and patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Although pain varies by patient and type of wart, most patients experience occasional discomfort as the temperature of the infected tissue rises rapidly within 2 seconds of the energy dose. The pain subsides immediately after the energy emission stops and there is no more pain after the intervention. Some even report an immediate reduction in pain. All patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Because Swift harnesses the power of the patient’s immune system to target the cause of the wart (HPV), its effectiveness is very high compared to other treatment methods. For more information on Swift and how it compares to traditional methods, visit.

You can also opt for remediation by freezing so-called cryotherapy. At PEDICARE, we use advanced CO2 freezing technology – ACCURETT, which is a fast, painless and, above all, very effective method of remediation. The therapy is also suitable for children.
ACCURETT is an ideal, high-performance cryosurgical device for superficial lesions such as superficial viral warts, pigment leaves or age spots. It works with the help of carbon dioxide (CO2), which ensures the so-called “soft freezing”, ie a milder treatment that is sufficient to freeze surface lesions, with faster healing. The applicator has a specially designed tip, which allows us to very accurately treat only infected tissue and thus not affect healthy skin. By freezing or. cryotherapy causes the cells of the upper layer of the skin to be destroyed locally. Due to the injury, greater blood flow occurs at the site and thus the body helps to form / regenerate new tissue, healthy skin. Importantly, no pain is expected with this method of freezing.
