Our Core Services
Plantar Wart Treatment (Feet)
Plantar warts grow on the bottom of the foot. They often grow inward under pressure and can sit deeper than they look. Treatment is planned across multiple visits, with progress checked each time.
Coverage: Covered by Alberta Health Care at no cost to the patient.
Common Wart Treatment (Hands)
Common warts are rough, raised bumps that often appear on hands, fingers, and knuckles. These can spread, especially if picked or shaved over.
Pricing: $90 per treatment (not covered by Alberta Health Care).
Other Wart Types We May See
Our main expertise is plantar warts, but we may also assess:
- Flat warts
- Filiform warts
- Periungual warts (around nails)
Not every wart is treated the same way. Treatment depends on location, depth, and skin type.
Our Treatment Protocol
Many clinics treat plantar warts with freezing alone. Some warts improve. Many do not, especially when they are deep or covered by thick callus.
Our clinic uses a combined approach:
- Medical laser treatment
- Medical-grade cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen)
Laser and cryotherapy work in different ways. Combining them helps target the wart more completely and supports the immune response over time.
Laser Options We Use
We select the laser based on the wart and the patient.
Nd:YAG laser
Often used to target the small blood vessels that feed the wart. This can help weaken the wart tissue while limiting damage to healthy skin.
CO2 laser
Used for precise treatment of wart tissue layer by layer. This can be helpful for deeper plantar warts.
Laser choice depends on depth, location, and how the wart responds over time.
What to Expect During Treatment
First Visit
Your first visit starts with a proper evaluation, not a rushed treatment.
- Confirm the diagnosis (wart vs callus or another skin issue)
- Review what you have tried and your medical history
- Assess depth, location, and callus thickness
- Provide written information on benefits, risks, and realistic expectations
Ongoing Visits
Most plantar warts need more than one session. We follow a planned course with time between visits so your body can respond.
A typical session may include:
- Preparing the area, including callus reduction when needed
- Laser treatment using the best option for your case
- Cryotherapy to target infected tissue and support immune response
- Clear aftercare instructions
We adjust settings over time to balance results and comfort. We never start at high settings.
When We Recommend Seeing Your Family Doctor First
In some cases, we may recommend seeing your family doctor before starting treatment here, especially when warts are:
- Long-standing and keep returning
- Numerous or spreading quickly
- Resistant to many past treatments
Sometimes the immune system needs to be assessed. Your family doctor is best positioned to do that. If we see something outside wart treatment, we refer you back to your doctor.

Quick Answers
Do you only treat plantar warts?
Our main specialty is plantar warts. We also treat common hand warts and may assess other wart types based on location and fit.
Why do some warts not respond to home products?
Many plantar warts sit deeper than they look and can be covered by thick skin. Surface-only products often cannot reach the full lesion.
What if my wart keeps coming back after freezing?
Freezing alone may not reach all infected tissue, especially when the wart is deep. A combined approach can target the wart more completely.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number. It depends on depth, how long it has been there, and how your body responds. Progress is reviewed each visit.
