Warts be gone!

By Mary Malik

Chances are you or someone you know has suffered with painful plantar warts. At best, warts can be annoying. For some, they can be embarrassing and quite debilitating.

Dr. Eric Trattner, a podiatrist who is certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery, says that experience is now unnecessary.

“Traditionally available treatments have been painful and ineffective. Now, there are no more messy, time-consuming home treatments, and no more painful blisters,” says Dr. Trattner. “Just one, five-minute treatment a month and you’re done.”

Introducing Swift, a new microwave technology that eliminates painful and prolonged therapy.

With Swift technology, a controlled application of microwave energy is directed at the affected area. This treatment stimulates the body’s immune system to now recognize and attack the wart. After this three-to-five-minute treatment, patients are back on their feet immediately with no aftercare required.

“This is a true game changer,” says Dr. Trattner. “After just three monthly treatments, we’re seeing a success rate of 85 percent, with a less than one percent recurrence rate. Patients frequently report a noticeable improvement after just one treatment, and after the third treatment, for the vast majority of patients, the wart is gone.”

Always working to deliver state-of-the-art technology and gentle care to his patients, Dr. Trattner says, “I am very excited to offer this new treatment.”
