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.

Not sure yet? Message us on WhatsApp or call, send a photo if you like, and we’ll tell you whether it suits cosmetic removal and what it will cost. We confirm the total before treatment.

Call (365) 336-9757, message us on WhatsApp, or view full pricing details.

Note: All skin treatments at Vicaria Health are cosmetic procedures performed by certified practitioners who are not physicians, and we do not diagnose skin conditions. For medical skin concerns, please consult a dermatologist or your family doctor.

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.

Ready to deal with that wart? Message us on WhatsApp or call (365) 336-9757. Send a photo if you like, and we’ll tell you whether it suits cosmetic removal and what it will cost.

If a drugstore kit already failed you, why drugstore plantar wart kits fail explains what those treatments actually do to the tissue. For pricing across Ontario, see the skin lesion removal cost guide. If you are weighing up other drugstore products, what actually happens when you use a removal kit covers freeze pens, acids and bands across different lesions.

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.

“Great first experience at Vicaria Health. Yamilet and Maurin were very friendly and answered all of my questions. I scheduled an appointment over the phone and they accommodated my schedule and availability. Maurin also followed up with a reminder and confirming my appointment a day prior, which I appreciated. The consultation and procedure to remove xanthomas all in one go. Reasonable prices. I would highly recommend if you're looking to get some cosmetic surgery.”

“I had a fantastic first experience at Vicaria Health. Yamilet and Maruin are so lovely. I had some skin tags and ruby points removed and less than 2 hours later I can't even tell where some of them were! And the others look like they're going to heal beautifully. Super pleased -- highly recommend!”

“I have a significant number of skin tags and other skin growths. I’ve tried liquid nitrogen solutions in the past and the skin tags grow back. And most of the time the skin tags are being removed by aestheticians. This experience was completely different. To have two experienced medical doctors removing the skin tags provides a significant amount of additional confidence. The treatment has been fantastic. The technique eliminates the skin tags from growing back. And the fact that they are really nice people is an added bonus.”

“I came in for a small cosmetic treatment and felt a bit shy at first, but they were very warm and easy to talk to! They took the time to explain everything clearly, and the place and equipment were very clean. What stood out most was how much time they give you. In a healthcare system that often feels rushed, they actually sit with you, listen, and make you feel like no concern is too small. Their experience really shows, and the consultation was very informative.”
