Wart Removal in Hamilton

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’re clinically trained professionals who remove warts cleanly and precisely so you can stop fighting them at home.

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.

How We Remove Warts

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 no bleeding, minimal discomfort, and clean results in a single visit.

✓ Immediate results: The wart is removed on the spot

✓ No bleeding: Cauterization seals the area instantly

✓ Precise and controlled: We treat only the wart, not surrounding skin

✓ Minimal scarring: When done properly, healing is clean and discreet

Common Areas We Treat

We remove warts from:

• Hands and fingers (the most common location)
• Feet (including plantar warts on the soles)
• Face and neck (carefully, with precision)
• Knees and elbows
• Anywhere they appear

If you’re not sure whether what you have is a wart, we’ll take a look. 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. We tell the difference and treat each one appropriately.
