That rough, raised bump on your hand. The one on your finger that catches when you type. The one on your foot that you can feel with every step.
You’ve tried the drugstore freeze kits. You’ve tried the salicylic acid patches for weeks. It’s still there, and it might even be spreading.
That’s exactly what we help with.
We are trained in cosmetic electrocautery and we remove warts cleanly and precisely so you can stop fighting them at home.

Electrocautery for Wart Removal: How It Works
We use electrocautery, a proven, precise technique that removes warts cleanly and effectively.
We apply a small electrical current to the wart, which removes the tissue and seals the area instantly. That means little bleeding, brief discomfort, and most warts treated in a single visit.
✓ Immediate results: The wart is removed on the spot
✓ Little bleeding: Cauterization seals the area as it works
✓ Precise and controlled: Targeted at the wart, with as little effect on the surrounding skin as possible
✓ Aftercare included: Healing varies; scarring and pigment change are possible and discussed beforehand
Plantar Warts, Hand Warts and Facial Warts
Clients most often ask about warts on:
- Hands and fingers (the most common location)
- Feet (including plantar warts on the soles)
- Face and neck (carefully, with precision)
- Knees and elbows
We do not treat genital warts; those belong with a physician or a sexual health clinic.
If you’re not sure whether what you have is a wart, tell us when you message or call. Sometimes what looks like a wart is actually a skin tag (a soft hanging flap), a seborrheic keratosis (a waxy brown growth), or a callus. A cosmetic consultation cannot diagnose a lesion, so anything uncertain goes to a licensed physician first.
Real Results From Our Treatment Room
We don’t have warts photos we can share yet. These are real Vicaria clients treated in the same James St S room for skin tags, seborrheic keratosis and cherry angiomas, so you can see how a spot and the skin around it look before and after cosmetic removal. Individual results and healing times vary.

Why Hamilton Clients Choose Vicaria for Wart Removal
We’re trained for cosmetic lesion work, and clear about where that ends. That matters when you’re removing something from your skin.
- Trained in cosmetic electrocautery: we work inside the cosmetic scope of that training and say so when a case falls outside it
- Sterile technique: it lowers the infection and scarring risk that comes with drugstore kits and home removal
- A clear referral boundary: we do not diagnose skin conditions, so anything that does not look like a straightforward cosmetic case goes to a physician instead of being treated here
- Care with darker skin tones: We adjust technique to reduce the risk of pigment change
- Located in downtown Hamilton: Easy to reach from anywhere in the city
How Much Does Wart Removal Cost in Hamilton?
Our pricing is transparent and straightforward. Cosmetic wart removal isn’t covered by OHIP or most insurance plans, which is why we keep our costs clear and affordable:
- A visit: $99, HST included. It covers the in-person consultation and the first spot.
- Each extra spot in the same visit: $20
- Never more than $299 a visit, however many spots (the cap is reached at 11)
- Same price on the face, neck or body, whatever the size. No size tiers, and no tax added at the end.
What a visit costs, consultation and treatment together, HST included:
- 1 spot: $99
- 3 spots: $139
- 5 spots: $179
- 10 spots: $279
If it’s a doctor’s job, you don’t pay. If we think a spot should be seen by a physician instead of removed, we don’t treat it and we don’t charge for it. If it was the only spot you came for, the visit costs nothing.

What Are Warts?
Warts are small, rough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) infecting the top layer of skin. They’re extremely common and harmless, but they can be stubborn, unsightly, and uncomfortable, especially on the hands and feet.
Common types we see:
- Common warts (usually on hands and fingers, rough and raised)
- Plantar warts (on the soles of the feet, often painful to walk on)
- Flat warts (smaller and smoother, often on the face or legs)
Warts can spread through contact and can multiply over time, which is why getting them handled properly matters.
Why Drugstore Kits Often Fail
You’ve probably tried:
- Freeze-off kits
- Salicylic acid patches and liquids
- “Natural” remedies like duct tape or apple cider vinegar
The problem is that these treatments are slow, inconsistent, and frequently don’t reach deep enough to clear a stubborn wart. Weeks later you’re often right back where you started. And none of them can confirm that what you’re treating is actually a wart.

Who Does the Removal
Certified Skin Tags Removal Technicians Chellsey Institute of Beauty & Health March 2024
Maurin Casella and Yamilet Pina both hold this certificate. The course covers the removal technique itself, which is the same across the lesions treated here — there is no separate certificate per lesion type.
It is a cosmetic qualification, not a medical one. It covers the removal itself — not deciding what a lesion is, which is why anything uncertain is referred to a licensed physician or dermatologist before any treatment is booked.
Both certificates are on display at the clinic, and we are happy to show them at your consultation.
