Podiatrist in Wake Forest NC Offers Advanced Wart Treatment for Plantar Warts
Dec 13, 2022
December 13, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Wake Foot and Ankle Center, a podiatry clinic in Wake Forest, NC, is happy to announce that they have a new Saorsa Swift microwave therapy machine for the advanced treatment of plantar warts. This cutting edge wart treatment device applies a small dose of microwave energy that is directed towards the affected area with the effect of quickly raising its temperature, which in turn activates the natural immune response that will then eliminate the wart. The Swift machine produces microwaves by using a compact generator that is provided with a simple user interface to allow fast treatment set up. This machine is one of the first energy based systems that are really portable since it just weighs 4.5kg or around 10lbs.
Michael Hodos DPM, podiatrist at Wake Foot and Ankle Center, says, “Plantar warts are warts that develop on the soles of your feet. Plantar warts are usually located on weight-bearing areas of your feet and cause pain when you walk or apply pressure to your feet. Plantar warts can affect your posture and the way you walk, leading to complications with your muscles and joints. Plantar warts are frequently spread through contact with moist, public environments like swimming pools and locker rooms. For some, warts may clear up on their own without treatment. But without treatment, warts can take up to two years to clear up. During this time, they typically recur and spread to other areas. The goal of treatment is to destroy the wart and allow your skin to return to normal.”
The Swift microwave therapy machine may help in eliminating the plantar warts much faster. The low dose of microwave energy penetrates deep into the affected tissue and this causes its temperature to rise quickly, which stimulates the body’s natural immune response to act on the warts. The Saorsa Swift microwave therapy machine has been observed to be very effective against plantar warts. In addition, it is considered to be a safe treatment because only a small dose of microwave energy is used and this is focused on the affected area. Nevertheless, some patients who have certain conditions are advised to consult first with a physician if they want to get the treatment. These include: those who are immune-suppressed; those who have a pacemaker; women who are pregnant or breastfeeding; those who have conditions that affect the capability of the body to heal; those who are suffering from poor circulation; and people who have metal plates or pins in their feet.
The Saorsa Swift microwave therapy machine is much faster than other treatments because of the use of microwave energy. A highly controlled and precise energy dose to a pre-determined depth into the skin. Because of this, there is a break on the surface of the skin and damaged tissue at the point of application, which is typical with other treatments like salicylic acid, cryotherapy, or laser ablation. Microwaves work only within that defined field, causing the water molecules within the tissue to move quickly causing localized heat energy due to the friction. Because there is no break on the skin surface, there are no bandages or dressings needed after the procedure.

The cooling trap: how Asia’s air conditioners are making heatwaves worse
As heatwaves become more frequent and intense across Asia, the region faces a dangerous power paradox. Soaring demand for air conditioning threatens to push electricity grids closer to failure just as extreme heat puts the infrastructure under greater strain, raising the risk of cooling disappearing when people need it most. That risk has been visible across the region this summer. In South Korea, President Lee Jae Myung called a record heatwave a “national disaster” in August after the death...
Anwar was on song in India. Will Malaysia reap the rewards?
Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim caused a bit of a stir in India recently with his spirited rendition of a Bollywood classic – a lighthearted moment that also neatly captured his broader push to deepen ties with the South Asian giant. A video of Anwar singing, from memory, Kishore Kumar’s 1965 hit ballad “Khwab Ho Tum Ya Koi Haqeeqat” (“Are you a dream or are you reality?”) was first posted to his social media accounts last Sunday before quickly being picked up by Indian news outlets.

Why AI giants are choosing Singapore to turn models into real-world tools
When Jordan Seow joined OpenAI in June 2025, he became the company’s first locally hired forward-deployed engineer in Asia-Pacific, joining a Singapore office that then had fewer than 20 employees. The 29-year-old is now part of a fast-growing workforce built in Singapore by the world’s leading artificial intelligence companies. Experts say the city state is emerging as a regional hub – not for training the latest AI models, but for the increasingly crucial task of deploying and adapting them...

A former Australian official’s use of a hypothetical “aggressive Indonesia” to make the case for Aukus at a public inquiry has been called “clumsy diplomacy” by analysts, who say the comments risk reviving old suspicions as Jakarta and Canberra try to strengthen security ties. Michael Pezzullo, a former deputy secretary of strategy in Australia’s defence department, made the remarks in testimony on September 2 to the Aukus Public Inquiry, an independent, crowdfunded review of the trilateral...

China’s GoPro rival Insta360 opens first US flagship store in New York’s Times Square
Chinese action camera maker Insta360 is deepening its US footprint with a flagship store opening in New York as it navigates escalating price competition with DJI and industry-wide memory cost pressures.

AI: 10 days that changed the course of artificial intelligence
For years, the race to build ever more powerful artificial intelligence followed a well-worn Silicon Valley principle: move fast and break things. But in a series of cascading events over a 10-day stretch, the largest AI labs found themselves reeling as their own creations threatened to break humanity itself. An Anthropic researcher quit the firm, warning that the pace of AI development poses an existential threat, possibly within a decade. Another researcher at the firm said the odds of human...
Malaysia’s Loke resigns as transport minister following Najib’s house arrest approval
A senior ally of Malaysia’s Anwar Ibrahim announced his resignation from cabinet on Saturday – a day after confidence in the prime minister’s administration took a severe hit when disgraced former leader Najib Razak was allowed to serve out his jail term under house arrest. Anthony Loke, the secretary general of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), said that the party could not accept the decision to allow Najib to complete his sentence in the comfort of his own home. The former prime minister is...

AI doesn’t just answer questions – it legitimises bad ones
Years ago, I watched a focus group explain itself into a contradiction. We asked people what mattered when choosing car insurance. Price won. The deductible came next. Reputation did not appear. During coffee, I asked the interviewer to change the question. How much cheaper would a less prestigious insurer have to be before they switched? One participant, who 15 minutes earlier ranked price first, said no discount was large enough. Nothing changed except how we asked the question. Something...
