Conditions We Treat with Swift® Laser Therapy

Effective, Non-Invasive Swift® Laser Therapy in St. Petersburg

At Align Foot & Ankle, we understand how persistent, painful, and frustrating warts can be, especially when traditional treatments keep failing. That’s why we’re proud to offer Swift® Laser Therapy, an advanced microwave-based treatment that delivers a highly concentrated dose of energy directly to the wart tissue. Unlike freezing, acid, or cutting, Swift® works by stimulating your body’s own immune system to recognize and eliminate the HPV virus from the inside out.

The result is a more permanent solution with less pain, no wound care, no bandages, and immediate return to daily activity. Whether you’re dealing with a single painful plantar wart or a cluster of mosaic warts that have resisted everything else, Swift® provides a clinically proven, clean, and efficient path to clear skin.

Swift® is not available everywhere. At Align Foot & Ankle in St. Petersburg, it is delivered by a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon with the diagnostic expertise to confirm exactly what you’re dealing with, rule out other conditions, and tailor the treatment protocol to your specific case.

Why Choose Us for Swift® Laser Therapy

Board-certified foot and ankle surgeon with advanced expertise in Swift® microwave therapy and laser-based wart treatment.

When stubborn warts linger despite repeated freezing, acid treatments, or over-the-counter products, you need a clinically sound solution backed by real expertise. Dr. Barnett combines surgical knowledge with a conservative, precision-first mindset to help patients finally clear persistent warts, without unnecessary cutting, scarring, or painful wound care.

He has helped patients across St. Petersburg clear plantar warts, mosaic warts, and resistant HPV lesions that had been present for months or even years before coming to our clinic.

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll experience a level of compassion, precision, and personal attention that truly sets us apart.

Swift® Laser Therapy: Precise, Immune-Based Wart Clearance

At Align Foot & Ankle in St. Petersburg, we offer Swift® Laser Therapy, a modern approach to stubborn plantar warts that resists freezing, acids, or home remedies. Instead of destroying skin tissue, Swift® uses a precise low-dose microwave signal to target the root cause of the wart: the human papillomavirus (HPV). By activating the body's natural immune response, Swift® provides lasting wart clearance without cutting, burning, or scarring. Treatment sessions are quick, clean, and performed entirely in-office. Most patients walk immediately after and return to work, school, or sport without interruption. With no dressings, no wound care, and no messy aftercare, Swift® has become the preferred choice for adults and children struggling with chronic, painful, or recurring plantar warts.
